For All The Places I Have Been I'm No Place Without You

For All The Places I Have Been I'm No Place Without You

My Ellen was at a flea market and bought a sign that said: "For All The Places I Have Been I'm No Place Without You." When she brought it home, I was without words. We agreed to put it over our bed.

Every time I walk into the room, I read that saying. It's probably the best way of saying: "I LOVE YOU." It's the way we feel about each other. However, it's also the way we feel about ourselves.

Our relationship of over thirty years has made that saying reality. I never had felt that way before. At forty (with the help of another) I finally realized that I was feeling the same way about myself. Reflecting on that saying when I think about myself, I would rewrite it another way: "For All The Places I Have Been I'm No Place Without ME."

I finally realize that I love myself. I finally realize that I trust myself. I finally realize that I'm a good person. I finally realized that I deserve the good that has happened to me. I finally realized that I'm lovable and loved by others.

Sooo, when I read that sign every time I walk into the room, I think of Ellen and I think of me.
