In this Journal, I will attempt to strip away my protective veneer to view and communicate honestly what the truth is as I perceive it. My intent is to grow, for without an honest evaluation of the truth, how else can one fully absorb life's more difficult lessons and benefit by them. If I do this in secret, then I am still hiding behind a protective veneer, so it is being published online. If you find this Journal, you are welcome to read it and hopefully grow from it as well.

Anne And I Met 50 Years Ago Today, 1/15/14

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of our meeting as 18 year olds in a college parking lot, Anne and I spent the night at The Ritz Carlton Laguna Niguel.

She is beautiful and in this magnificent ocean front setting we enjoyed walking the heavily flowered hotel grounds, looking at the Pacific Ocean and Santa Catalina Island, and feeling the warmth of the sun.

That night we had room service, to enjoy each other's company and to again share this captivating view, as we had a delicious, beautifully served meal. She had a pizza and I had vegetarian hamburgers.

The next day, in our room we shared breakfast and the view and afterward, I experience a remarkable and wonderful event which I posted under the title of "In The Stillness," on Ramblings Of A Sane Man.

What Anne most recalls about our trip was "how relaxing it was."

Anne and I had a great time, yet another memorable occasion in the wonders of our marriage.
