Being of the straight hetero type species I feel my life is not too difficult far as the relationship understanding goes. I love Hubby and he loves me, and that is that our extreme differences are not blatant to the world but we have many or at least we did when we first met nearly forty-three years ago.
Oddly enough we are both Caucasian and Hubby is a male and I am a female, simplicity and quite evident at a glance that anyone can see.
But in reality he was raised a Catholic with a Lutheran father and I was raised a Jew with two parents of that faith.
His family seemed to favor the GOP, Republicans and mine the Democrats.
His Mom was a divorced and a single parent and mine were married.
He had two siblings a few years apart from him in either direction while I had only a half brother nineteen years older.
But none of those differences were for the world to see but as you can tell they were vast and extreme.
This coming February we will be married forty years and to me that seems to be something quite special and amazing in this day and age of the divorce rate being so very high, but you know something we love each other and no one can take that away from us and I bet none of you would even have the nerve to suggest such a thing.
It is true that over the years we have more than compromised on those above differences with both choosing not to be religious in any organized one, although I do believe in G-d, Hubby questions his/hers existence.
Politically we have also changed and are registered as non partisan for many reasons since we always vote for the right person not for any one party, and we get much less phone calls that way! LOL
His family is spread far and wide and most of mine has passed away, and sadly they are not in the picture, only fond memories.
There is a reason for all this explaining and now I will tell you why I gave you my background and where my heart is in all this angriness in the world unfairly over PEOPLE being in love with same sex or different races or religions… I say that LOVE is LOVE and all HUMAN BEINGS are entitled to have it!
I am wondering if the ones who think they shouldn’t are ones who don’t have it for themselves and are just JEALOUS! Who knows but having something as special as a loving relationship with anyone is miraculous today, right?
Go for it I say!
Adults who are in a loving relationship should be put up on pedestals for they are the truly lucky ones in the world.
And no one should stop that or prevent that from being a way for all of us to be happy.
More love creates peace!
Now really who could argue that point?
So here I go out on a limb, taking my life in my hands all in the name of ironically the COURAGE CAMPAIGN… below you will see what it is about.
Let’s face it folks if we believe that all men and women are truly created equal this is the epitome of that belief that will back it up! Proving once again that we should not be just all talk and no action…now you can put your mouth where it belongs in the right direction of doing something for your fellow and women peeps!
Get informed and do the right thing that’s in all of your hearts and souls and be heard!

On that challenging note I will wish you all a good night and to all count those blessings and we will too!
Speaking My Mind is about: Tobi, who is a middle aged, no, oh all right a slightly over the hill woman with all the imperfections that go with that, and this concerns her daily life's perceptions and experiences.
