And so it goes.
As of this minute (12:01 PM Central Standard Time) the Dragon turns another year older.
It has not been an easy year for me this year. I have had a butt load of medical problems. Money has been so bloody tight.
The economy sucks and what you do make does not even begin to cover your day to day needs. In order to do that you either have to go deep into debt or live so minimalist that you never get to enjoy the basic things in life that make it all worth living.
Is it any wonder why I just don””””t feel like celebrating?
I know that is not fair to Red. She has bent over backwards to make sure I am OK. But she has also carried a full load at school and a part time job as well as another part time job as a Tutor at the school writing center.
She in all her love just wants me to have a nice day for my birthday. That is all well and good.
But it is so hard to tell her that it is all the things that she says and does on a daily basis.
Those are the things that I celebrate.
Those are the things that I live for and crave on a daily basis.
Those are the things that drive me to live each day more or less in the moment.
“The Past are my memories, The Present is my Life, The Future is for Dreams“.
Red is the other part of me that I have always lacked and never knew how to fill, or even that I was missing part of me, until I met her. From that moment on I just knew. She is like the perfect mortar to my wall. It can be as weak or as strong as I want it to be.
But she is the binding agent that flows among every particle of my being, Rigid, Fluid or Flexible keeping the whole being that is Dragon together and able to weather any storm.
So you see my love. The celibration of the day of my birth is so trivial against the Celibration that is my Life with You!.
Thank you for every second of every day of every week of every month of every year that is the rest of my Life.
I look forward to so many more. All to be with you…
Peace Out,
Dragon

Every day with you is the best day of my life up to that point, even when we argue and disagree. I love you now and always Dragon. Always have and always will!
I am a bit teary eyed at what you wrote above, that is beautiful and so heartfelt. Thank you for sharing with me the depth of your love. I hope I continually prove to you I deserve it. You are one of the best things to ever come into my life. I thank the Goddess daily for the chain of events that led me to you and our life together. I know that no matter what is thrown at us, we will persevere as we always have, you are what gives me the strength to make it through each day. You have my love always and in all ways.
