Anniversaries

This weekend is our twelve year wedding anniversary. Our children will soon be 10, 8, 6 and 31/2. Time really does fly.

I am lucky to have married a wonderful man who has walked with me step by step through pregnancy, birth, depression, anxiety and, most importantly, joy. We have come to realize that all those expectations we had as children and starry-eyed newlyweds are impossible.

As parents and partners we are still only people. No matter how much we try to be perfect parents and spouses life is a long and winding road. There is no such thing as perfection.

We do the best we can. If, at the end of the day, we have love everything else will follow. I feel very lucky to be loved.

Happy 12th Anniversary to you both.

You're just a few months ahead of us. May this year bring you happiness and even more love than you've ever thought possible. May you find peace in the middle of any storm.

SEOと言うのは、検索エンジン最適化を指す、時にSEO最適化、SEO対策とも言います、SEOは英文Search Engine Optimizationの略語で、日本語で言うのはセオ、喩えにすれば人は目でサイトのデザイン性やコンテンツの良さを確認としたら、SEOはソースコードの最適化や外部及び内部の手段で検索エンジンを馴染むように修正して上位を目指す一連の施策っていうこと。
