Laura left this comment on today’s post, and I thought it needed to be shared right here, front and center:
I was married in 1979. Our area of the country was hard hit in an economic downturn. My husband and I were at times both without real jobs. We did yardwork for hire, we painted buildings, we grew our own food, etc. It was difficult but it was also a time I would NEVER wish had been different. When you are with someone you love, hardships are lessened and joys are amplified.
Oh, right! Right! This is the whole point!
