Nobody is pretty first thing in the morning. I heard that somewhere and I believe it for true.
We swung away at life, bulling through everything we encountered and survived it all, hitting homeruns, but striking out just as much. There have been births and deaths, wealth and poverty, lucidity and insanity. All wrapped neatly in the mundane.
Prices have been paid and I feel justified in finally following my dreams.
Nobody is pretty first thing in the morning. I heard that somewhere and it’s a lie. Today, she looks like she did ten years ago and I’ll keep swinging away with her.
It’s that time again. 100 more words for Lance and Leeroy. This week, Dawn from Happiness Cubed chose “Swing Life Away” by Rise Against. This came to me fairly easily this morning. I usually wake before my wife and I took a few moments while waiting for the coffee to brew to watch her sleep. In one of those weird times when you remember a thousand a things in a micro-second, I saw that she is still as beautiful to me as the day we first met.
Awww. That’s really sweet. And I like your “life in a nutshell” approach here.
Thanks, Nicole. It kinda had to be a nutshell, I only had 100 words to play with.
Beautiful love story.
Thanks, Aimee!
Very sweet way to go about this song-prompted 100
Thanks, K. I figured I’d put my dark side away this week.
It was a nice change of pace, though you really do the dark side well
I like the change of view from the first lines to the last lines. This was well done.
Thanks, SAM. I love it when a plan comes together.
awwww (x2) I love it when a man lets his love shine through. Your lady is especially blessed.
Heh, thanks. She got all misty.
This was lovely. A tribute to a life well lived, and lived together.
A quarter of my life anyway.
What a lovely piece! I’m sure your wife loved it.
She did, thanks.
Aw! So sweet. And just this morning I was thinking how I wished I could be prettier in the morning…
Were you really? I’m sure Leo thinks you are.
Oh this was sweet! I bet your wife loved it!
My favorite line here was “All wrapped neatly in the mundane.” which pretty much sums up 95% of living in 6 words.
Now that’s talent!
I wouldn’t call it talent but more of an observation. Thanks!
Yeah, the way you juxapositioned those lines was brilliant. I like how sexy this is. Like real life, no frills, straight up groovy sexy. excellent interpretation
Real life sexy is better than make believe sexy everyday.
“Nobody is pretty first thing in the morning.” When you can be honest enough to get away with that line, it’s true love.
When your wife can fart in your presence and laugh about it – THAT’S true love.
I like this man. It seems like it comes from a man who gets it. Good post.
Thanks!
My favorite phrase is, “All wrapped neatly in the mundane.” And absolutely I love the shift from believing to disbelieving the truth about beauty in the morning. (And thank GOD my husband doesn’t voice an opinion about this. Because I look like a train wreck in the morning before I’ve gotten out of bed.)
Thanks Jessie! “Beauty is in the eye…” well, you know. You might surprised what your husband thinks.
