Hey Chip. Haven't seen you around for a while. Thanks for posting so wonderfully about your day. Loved reading about it.
Thanks Blue...
Working retail, the thoughts of the previous three days got me through today (Black Friday). The loving comments that I got from our mutual friends and his family on my Facebook page meant a lot today.
Been on here more on the tech forums of late on the MR... but came away with such wonderful feelings about my Thanksgiving Day and all - thought that it was worth an update to my friends here on MR that had been by my side in the last five years during some dark times - that I am doing OK

Maybe more than OK ROFL
All I can say to the many threads on the MR about "looking for Love" is that it can and will happen when you least expect it; and maybe when you stop looking for it.

Maybe more important is to look past the physical parts of the person - and see the deeper side. I am a smoker, he is not - but he is wants me to change only only if I want to.... He is OCD on some things - but we are learning to share in that.
Have my fingers crossed in that friends, family, and strangers are seeing the Love between us in just a few short months - that gives them the idea we have been together a lot longer pans out.... which I have no doubts about. He feels like an old shoe.

And as close as we live to each other; we still can talk for over an hour each day with each other....
Again thanks Blue, I am still on cloud nine over the last few days. I wake up each morning wondering why I feel this way... but thankful for that feeling....
Chip
