Old fashioned

I was able to go to my friend's Easter dinner with her family. I was graced to be able to meet her great-grandmother. She was the cutest old lady! Still up and running, talking, smiling, very active. I loved it. I aspire to be like that at the age. We were sitting by the piano looking at old pictures and there was one with her and her husband. As we were looking she tenderly grabs the picture and explained that this was her and her late husband in their younger years. I looked at her gazing at the picture and all I could see was love. I was Wowed!. She further explained more about him and then told me she was a romanticist. She then started talking about how much she loved him. She said she worshipped the ground that man walked on. I thought it was soo beautiful. I wanted to write something about it, and I will Im just not going to post it yet. I felt the love bubbling over though. It was crazy, like how is something so enduring, even after your partner passes away, that another individual can feel it.

It is rare to see that with us younger folk. Some how back then people understood (not all people of course) the WE concept. We are so individualistic and selfish nowadays that we don't always consider the greater priority, the US, that we have decided to commit ourselves to. We are so focused on how I am feeling and how the other person is making OurSelf feel that we cant get further or deeper, for the greater good. Sacrifice is a foreign concept, and both parties must adhere to it. Sacrifice doesn't mean changing who you are, it just says I making adjustments to my individual ways so that we can be, and so you can be in my life. For some reason, older folks are used to making adjustments.

Id rather be old fashioned. They lasted longer.

and now ladies and gentleman, Cee Lo Green, with Old Fashioned...

My loves' old fashioned
But it still works
Just the way it is.

This love is classic
And not just simply because
I say it is.
It's right on time (right on time)
And it's timeless (timeless)
And it'll be right here, for always.

My loves' old fashioned
So be it, I'm set in my ways.
Hush child, just listen
Don't it sound just like the good old days.

Well it's right on time (right on time)
And it's timeless (timeless)
And it'll be right here, for always (always).
My love's right one time (right on time)
And it's timeless (timeless)
I'll be right here for always.

Oooo... people they gather round, and they wonder how
Are we in love right here and now.
I just smile cause true love doesn't go out of style.
Ooh... right on time, Ooh, yes,
Ooh... on time, ooh timeless
I'll be here, for always.
