On so many years together

Oh the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all right out, just as they are -- chaff and grain together -- certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and with the breath of kindness blow the rest away
-George Eliot (pen name of Mary Ann Evans), novelist (1819-1880)

So true. Happy anniversary Mr.Nag!

  1. Happy Anniversary to the Nags!

    What a lovely quotation -- I'm going to try to remember to use it this October when our 20th (gulp!) anniversary rolls around.
