The Anniversary Post

Jump to Comments

…can I tell you a story about a young couple who were celebrating a wedding anniversary?They were poor in terms of material wealth and possessions, but were rich in love. On that special day, they both wanted to give each other gifts.

Desperate for cash, the husband pawned his old cherished wristwatch so he could buy his wife a nice hairbrush. The wife, without telling her husband, had her long silky black hair cut, which she then sold to a wig maker, to buy her man a nice watch strap.

Imagine the surprise when each of them realized how much the other had SELFLESSLY sacrificed something he/she holds dear just to make the other happy.

I found this story conveniently hidden(and forgotten) in my email’s sent folder, which I usually do when I find and share something I really like, and would want a copy of, for whatever purpose it may serve me later. Much like I keep obvious trash in my room, or my drawers, for the thought that I might need them one of these days. Out of habit, and not of necessity.

This is my 1ooth post! I got to check my stats page earlier, and saw the often overlooked post count. I missed my first blog anniversary, which was on January12, if I start counting from the first day I started posting. I had two entries right away, the first one just to say hello, the second being the proper blog entry. I’d consider the latter as the “inspired” article, driven by the idea of just pouring out what I had to say and the fun in interacting with people, which started it all. I’ve had this WordPress blog prior, but until after reading Anna Bayle’s writing, I didn’t know what to do with it.

The first comment came from emperorbananaketchup, though, over an article on scantily dressed women.

Well, here’s hoping for one more year of blogging…
