every morning i wake next to my husband...its a peaceful wake...something good to start off the day. its funny how relationships grow and things just become the norm...just like that...almost with the snap of fingers. 30 months now that we have been together...3 months of them as husband and wife now. there is nothing i want more than to end my days with him and wake next to every morning.
there are so many things to love about him...and many more i am learning of as time passes. and i love it. but you see, each morning, he carries a tune. he's always singing in the shower or saying something clever with a catchy tune...almost every morning he does that. and each and every time it brings a smile to my face. he probably doesnt know this, nor will i ever admit it to him. but in any event, i always find that the little things will always brighten my day. i am a true believer of cherishing the little things in life. i think dan is too...he places a lot of emphasis on cherishing what you have not what you think you should have.
everyone who knows me...knows that i am a dreamer. what do i mean by this? i see something and i want it and when i put my mind to something there's no turning back or telling me otherwise. its just the way i am. why do i bring this to your attention, you ask. because i think i may be getting out that habit or shell or mind frame. what is the saying....patience is a virtue...good things come to those that wait...
from first hand experience...all the times that i have waiting for something, it was always the best outcome for me. funny thing ... i thought about this at work...while i was slammed with work. its definitely odd - how my mind works. i can be under total stress and have an epiphany yet be under no stress and cant figure out what to do next. i have always been a person who works well with pressure - ok so some of you who know me may say otherwise - but i'd like to think i work well under pressure. dan will tell you that i always seem to take on tasks that are grand...and require a lot of attention or work to be accomplished successfully. and you know, for once i will admit that he is right. there's something about a challenge and me knowing that i can push myself to make it through successfully and have a very rewarding outcome.
my life definitely goes through peaks and valleys - just like anyone else life...but its only now that i can say that my life is coming full circle...in its entirety. i think the one thing i am missing but not caring much for is a house i can call my own..or actually our own. oh and that kid i've been contemplating on having. but other than that...i think everything else will fall into place quite nicely. its the first time in my life since i've lost my independent status as a single woman that i am able to save money. it feels good. it feels good to know that i can put away half my paycheck for something grand in the future. its damn nice to know that i have no debt except for my student loan. its nice to know that i have a job that i go to every day and actually like...granted there are the days where i hate it, but who doesnt have those days?
i will always find the time to treasure the small things in life, to stop every now and again to smell the roses or admire a beautiful sunset. i am learning that patience is a virtue. i am also learning that it isnt a bad thing to dream but it can be a bad thing to want everything. i am quite thankful for the treasures i have in my life...because it was in time that i finally found them.
