sometimes i can't even imagine the energy it would take
to date me. i wonder how anyone could hang on for the ride.
lucky for me, i found a guy who can handle it! while i think
it would be hard for any man, this man and i are so different,
that i really am amazed he actually hangs in there.
amazed and very very grateful.
passing out trophies to inspiring bloggers, made me want
to pass out a trophy to this special guy. and while it would
be like me to just put up a smaltzy post because i love this
guy....there's more to it.
yesterday was a lesson in love that i thought was worth writing
about.
it's basic. easy and quick to type out.
i was struggling with something that had me in knots all week.
along he comes wandering into the middle of it all and at the
same time he was a big part of it all.
it was absolutely no fun for him to hang with me while i went
thru the basic struggle. there were tears, squeezed shut eyes of
frustration and hurt, and lots of confusion inside of me.
he hung in there.
patient and kindly, he hung in there.
confused at times....not knowing what to say at times...
but always always patient and loving.
i needed that so badly.
we all need that so badly.
those times when we're frustated to the max, confused about
it all and not sure what we're feeling is really okay.....
what do you need more than anything then?
patience and kindness.
have you offered it back??
that's what i keep thinking......
i want to offer it back.
not just to him.....but to everyone i love.
sure, i'm patient and kind mostly.
but when i'm challenged as much as he was yesterday?
whew.
i don't know.....
but i want to try.
i want to keep it in mind and try.
and i was thinking it was a good thing to remind people
of.....
to really love someone is to really offer love.
how many times do we just fake it???
and once again my partner teaches me how to love...
