The Old Couple Selfie

---

This old gal…

Was enjoying the best fish tacos ever…when what to the wondering eyes should appear…another old gal…trying to take an old couple selfie…or shall we say…an o-celfie…poor guy…all twitchy…unsure how to turn…hid his face…tried the adoring-look-at-my-wife pose…her coaxing…snapping…laughing…this old gal…felt the pain…and vowed…to get a decent o-celfie…before the day was done…

The perfect opportunity arose…waiting in line…for the riverboat cruise…bought tickets before realizing…the line…was long…like hundreds of people long…stand and wait…he can’t escape…let’s get…that perfect…o-celfie…but so it is…in life…some things…just aren’t as simple…as you’d like them to be…friendships…marriage…parenting…

The lines get blurred…the focus…lost…but you learn…as you go…and you grow…as you learn…some things…take time…take patience…and like the old couple selfie…some things…take practice…lots and lots…of practice…
​
And this husband of mine…agrees…
