I was admiring my wedding ring while driving today (I know, not so smart).
Here was my crazy, day-dreaming thought process...
I was thinking that if Sam died, I don't think I'd ever marry again. Because I wouldn't be able to let go of my ring. Because the day I got that ring was the day all my fondest dreams started to become a reality. (Awwww...)
Thinking about my life and family, my eyes welled with pathetic tears of love, and as I sealed in my heart a fervor of complete fidelity towards Sam whether living or dead, I looked up to the heavens ---and then I SLAMMED on my brakes because I noticed that the light had changed and I was about to be the one doing the widow-making.

I also nearly crashed my car the day after I became engaged, gazing at my new token of impending nuptials. I was never much of a jewelry wearer in my younger days and so having a sparkly diamond on my hand was quite the distraction.
Why am I writing about this? Who knows.
I just wanted to write something down. I keep intending to write about Lent. (Yes, I'm still doing it). But it's hard for me. I don't know. I'm either really stuck spiritually or on the verge of some serendipitous, life-changing epiphany. I honestly can't tell which it is yet.
One thing is for sure - I've got to work on keeping my head out of the clouds and watch the road.
And if my title makes any sense at all to you, then we are kindred spirits and I ask you with all the maternal concern I can muster; Please keep your eyes on the road and your mind to the task.

I totally get your title, it's been years since I've seen that movie and love it. I like your post. It's nice to hear about the good in the world vs all the bad. The love that you have for your family is better than good.
Awwww..... I hope Sam gave you a big kiss when you told him. :o)
Sometimes it's nice to take a moment to look at the wonderful thigs we couldn't live without.
Yes, I am blog-stalking you. Love the post title; can we be bosom friends? I was asked about my wedding ring at an Enrichment Activity last night and got interrupted by another person who felt she needed to tell her much more important wedding ring story and it made me sad. Perhaps I will blog my story, too.

Tee hee! I just love you Melissa. I love that I'm not the only one that has sweet sappy moments and then is brought roughly back into reality with something like a red light!
