20 Years

Today is my 20^th Wedding Anniversary. In this day and age, this milestone is considered monumental. In my mind, being married to Mark for 20 years has been as easy as breathing.

Meeting Mark all those years ago cemented my belief in love at first sight. I knew the moment I sat next to him that he was the ‘One’. Today I realize Mark encompasses so many traits of my fictional hero’s. Mark is my Jamie/Edward/Zadist/Iain/Valiant, all in one.

My handsome Mark makes me laugh and makes me feel special. Although I know I’m as cute as all get out, he is the one person that makes me feel beautiful. Mark is the one I can talk to about anything; he is my best friend. I don’t know where I would be right now if destiny had not stepped in and had our paths cross, but I do know with Mark in my life I am a better person, a better me; which makes me even cuter!

Happy 20^th Anniversary Mi Querido Mark!

Why Now?

In Chickie's World...

Everyone seems to have one of these; blogs. Where posts illuminate thoughts, rants, opinions, observations, giggles, etc. Long ago, these would stay tucked away in our minds, written in journals. At times they would eek out in a comment or situation, but normally, left untouched, unsaid, unnoticed.

Do we really want to know what the thoughts, happenings or opinions of others? Yes and no. Yes, because it offers us a look into our family/friends/famous folks psyche; a connection. No, because it offers us a look into our family/friends/famous folds psyche; sometimes better left untouched.

Why start a blog now? Maybe because I want to be heard now that I'm 50+ years. Maybe because I want to put it out there in the Cyber universe; maybe because I want to put a stamp on the blogosphere. Or maybe, as every mother has a right to say, because I said so.

In Chickie's World things are not perfect. Sometime, in chaos. Although, I would prefer, a controlled chaos. However, the world often doesn't give us a controlled chaos. but I make do the best I can. 
In Chickie's World time goes by so quickly; leaving it's mark in laugh lines, gray hair and memories.
In Chickie's World friendship is valued. Chats cherished and hugs welcome.
In Chickie's World humor with laughter is key, for without it the world is dull and dour.
In Chickie's World reading is sustenance: food, water, air all in one. Without reading, I think I would be almost debilitated. Where would I be without a book or my Kindle (one of the best gifts I've ever received!)?

So, as with all things new, here I start and welcome your comments, your opinions.
