Roses in Winter...

Just sharing a couple of photos

 of roses my sweetheart gave me recently:  A bouquet of deep red roses and carnations for our anniversary this past October, of which I am sharing a photo of one particular rose that had just opened up.

And a bouquet of pink roses for my birthday in November.  He also purchased a portable light box for me with lights included for my product photo-taking efforts and dinner at my favorite restaurant, which is also his favorite restaurant.

We have had a very good year together, and I am happy to report that he passed his 3-month follow-up checkup with flying colors.  His physician was all smiles.  A wonderful blessing.

I am very happy to report that I have kept the commitment I made to myself just about 3 years ago in support of my well-being, and every day it proves even more to have been the right decision.  I have been firm and strong in this, and I am proud of myself for it, thankful for it, and for every day that gets better as a result.
