Romance. It is not an easy concept or act. Has any relationship been without the difficult times, the threats of those from the outside, be they real or imagined? Why do some relationships succeed and other fall in absolute failure? Is it luck? Is it knowledge, experience or sheer chemistry? There. We see a lot of questions, but the answers are not only difficult, but also elusive as well.
The nominated post After the Rose Colored Glasses is an interesting yet not totally fulfilling read. As the reader we see what should be an incredibly romantic anniversary celebration turn into questions and deception. And then the reverse. But that’s the rub. We don’t know why. What is the secret to last year’s faux pas? What is different? The author is Miss Britt. The blog is Miss Britt.
Miss Britt explains, “Last year, we avoided each other’s gaze over dinner and clumsily held hands across the table. Every time we touched it stung like an insult to past intimate moments. We struggled through the insincerity and pretended not to notice the confusion in one another’s eyes.
Now, I find strength in a quick peck on the top of my head. I close my eyes and soak up the warmth of resting, just for a moment, with my arms around his waist and my cheek against his back while he makes coffee at 6 in the morning. I get lost in the easy comfort of sitting beside him, his presence alone enough to make me feel safe.”
Contrast between celebrations of love and romance, yet with missing clues. And it is the fact that we only know a part of the story that makes this post so special. The Rising Blogger is honored to award Miss Britt our Post of the Day!

GREAT find and great review.
Miss Britt’s romantic and down-to-earth account of her relationship journey is one of the most touching posts I’ve ever read. I love the honesty and intimacy in this post.
I will be back to read more Miss Britt. Brava.
Wow – thank you very much.
I will be sending my own nomination soon.
A touching post. I could feel both the pain and the joy.
