Valentine’s Day is our day to celebrate

Is Valentine’s Day a day to celebrate? It certainly is for us!

Joan and I celebrate our 40th year of marriage on February 14^th… yes, Valentine’s Day. It has been a wonderful loving journey and thankfully, we travel well together! After all, it has always been about the journey, not the destination. I am so fortunate to have such a wonderful wife!
 
We have had many journeys to experience in those 40 years … The journey of living in several places in the Bay Area (Pleasant Hill, San Leandro, San Ramon, and now Pittsburg). The journey of raising a daughter. The journey of shared goals and values in our on-going marriage … some of which are the love of God, kindness, love, and healthy living. The journey of sacred self-care.

And, let’s not forget the journey of raising furry loved ones, of which we’ve had many. Presently, we feel so blessed to have our wonderful dog, Eldred, in our life’s journey. It’s hard to believe it will be two years on the 23rd that we adopted her from Tony LaRussa’s ARF rescue shelter. 
 
Lately, as is probably true for you, too, we are on the journey of … concentrating on wearing masks, washing hands, social distancing, and ensuring we stay safe and healthy.
