Where's that 10 years gone?

It's the eve of my 10th wedding anniversary and as I look back to the beggining of not being single - i can honestly say that its been a trully amazing journey of events, mostly good, with a few bad thrown in for the sake of life's good measure. It feels great to be here with all the things I have; inside,out and all around - meaning ... emotions, soul, mind material 'stuff' and not forgetting how delighted I am to have a lovely wife and 2 great boys. I love it. To put how I feel in context; Have you ever been to a party or day out and thought you don't want it to end because you are so happy and having such a fab time? well thats how i feel each day. I have even spoken, jokingly, to Jen about the worry of dying as I am having such a ball - seriously its a powerful emotion when one is having so much fun. Again jokingly I said to Jen if I were to pop me' clogs would she mind apologising to the 'audience' and reiterate my dissapointment for not being there ... in person!?

Just as an aside jen and I decided that we wouldn't buy gifts for our anniversary as we kind of treated our trip to ireland as that gift, but as I was driving passed COMET today I became spontaneous and decided to go in and buy her a video ipod - the type of purchase that i considered for a good 2 or 3 seconds before I jumped in and thought oh bugger it, you only live once. Whilst on the subject - as I feel richer on the inside I want for nothing and am finding it more and more difficult to justify basic purchases ... like a new shirt or jeans etc and I kind of think well I have loads at home ...

Ps. at a business networking lunch today a guy called lenny (who arranges bands for weddings etc) said I would make a good inspirational speaker and kind of proposed to be my inspirational speaker manager ... i think ... funny but true! who knows! Nice guy though

Bye bye
