Friday (11-7-08), my husband and I had a dispute.  I’m a blogger, so I blogged about it…well, actually resolving marital disputes, in general.  Consequently, my panicky (yet, thoughtful) mother called to help me through our “marital problems”.  LOL!  It really wasn’t that bad, folks.  My father-in-law emailed me, in his fatherly way, some advice:  “Look in the side direction and not at each other, working for us 36 years”.  Good advice.

Now, that I’ve discovered that people do read this blog, evidenced by my 2 recent blogging awards and parental responses, I better follow-up Friday’s blog (check it out) with something sweet–PDAs…no, not the mobile phone!  “Public displays of affection” is what I’m talking about.

The featured picture was taking of us in Nov. 2006.  Doesn’t it look so sweet and darling?  Would you do this in public?  Why or why not?

I think public displays of affection (PDA) are great!  There is no shortage of incidences when we see people at odds with each other.  So, why shouldn’t we show the loving side of ourselves around others?  I’m sure some people take it too far and should get a room, but why don’t we hold hands in public more often?  What’s wrong with kissing your spouse around other people?  Since when has this been confined to the privacy of our bedrooms?  When did, “Now, you may kiss the bride”, become the only appropriate time to do this?

I’m thinking about this today because, along with talking about what dog the Obamas are going to take to the White House, people are discussing the displays of love and affection our next president bestows on his wife, Michelle.  It’s for the world to see…and it’s beautiful.
