Put the shine on

I was looking at my wedding ring the other day. Originally it had a "satin finish" around the band (which they warned us would wear off). Over time it's slowly become shinier and shinier, so much so that I can now see my reflection in it.

Without realizing it until the other day, I think that it has reflected how our relationship has gone. Bit by bit it's gotten a little more polished, a little more comfortable, but still very special. With other things when you take the shine off something and it becomes less than what it was, we have been putting the shine on. Better than new.

How about that? Not many things improve with age. Just wine, cheese, and us. :-D
