I can honestly say our life is not boring, we are, as one unit very tired. Mostly this is due to lack of sleep and Sean working long days, but he has a few days off now and we will get to spend some time together.

I have found that simple things like falling asleep on the couch together, waking up to find you didn’t know you were asleep and have dribbled all over your husbands crotch make me smile. That we sometimes don’t have to have big conversations, that I know what he’s thinking, that he still sometimes steals little glances at me..

These things all make me smile and make me feel so grateful for what we have. It also makes me realize that even when things don’t start out so great, that can be the reason they end up wonderful.

Sean once said to me that if our relationship was half as good as his parent’s we would be just fine, also that they had a really hard couple of years before they really found out what wanting to be with another person for the rest of your life really meant. He was telling me to hang in there.

I’m glad I did.

It’s not communism, it’s not bad and it’s values and basis is in the celebration of people, ordinary hard working people.

it’s about caring for others, not walking on by, not thinking “I’m alright, sod the rest of you”

I don’t understand why the American Right is so petrified of it. I think it’s a case of Fear what we don’t understand, stoked by Fox news. But then the kind of morons who watch Fox news would never understand about compassion and fairness and making sure that everyone has a fair chance, even if they have made mistakes in life. Let’s face it if anyone here can honestly stand up and say “I have never ever f**ked up” then fair enough, but we all know that’s not the case.

Anyway, why the fear? Instead of being frightened and listening to scare mongers like the unbelievably crappy Fox news hows about doing some actual non-biased research, not hearsay, actual research finding out the facts? Maybe then you wouldn’t be so petrified of us scary Lefties. Afterall do you really think that The whole of the UK & France is some kind of seething sess pit of scariness? :)

We live longer than people in the US for one…

if you fancy moving continents there is a gorgeous little house for sale in our village…
