Weddings and newborns mean pure love and optimism to me.
Weddings: two people promising to love and cherish each other until the end of their days. How many couples do this each year? Even though the divorce statistics are sky-high?
How do two people decide they are going to get hitched?
It's got to be pure love and optimism.
Or magic spells.
Or temporary insanity - 'temporary' enough to last through the entire wedding planning saga.
Yea - what does get us to the church on time {or close; I was ~15 minutes late}?
Just how many arguments, frustrations, and tense moments are logged in memory files between the engagement and the wedding ceremony?
I know we had several.
Yet.
We hitched.
And we're together.
It'll be 25 years in October.
Pure love and optimism.
That's got to be why.Or insanity. Can't call it 'temporary' after 25 years, now can we?
Newborns: living evidence that two people trust in the future.
Seems that in ordinary conversation, everyone believes that the world is in worse shape than in their younger years, certainly worse than their parents' generation.

Or temporary insanity - 'temporary' enough to last through ~40 weeks of pregnancy.
Yea - what does get us to the hospital in time for delivery?
Just how many bouts of morning sickness, swollen ankles and nights of interrupted of sleep are logged in memory files between the positive test and the birthin'?
I know we had plenty.
Yet.
We created a new person - three in fact.
And we're raising her, and her brothers.
It'll be 22 years next February.
Pure love and optimism.
That's got to be why.
