…hard headed, self-centered, egotistical, and impatient…

Ok, I’m happy again! I got the pilot light lit and hot water for a shower. I have few things in life I really revel in; a hot shower in the morning is one of the most favored of them though. We shall either repair, or replace that water heater in short order.
I do a good deal of thinking in the shower. I was thinking at first that is this %&#@ hot water heater goes out again…
I reverted to thinking how delicate life is and how we take so many little things for granted. I lived alone for so long that I never really thought I would find love, let alone fall into it. After (almost) eight years, I take this thing called love for granted at times. It is a delicate balance of life that needs more time and nurture than we actually give it and yet it survives. It’s also the most precious, most valuable commodity in my life. We both push when we should pull; we both are hard headed, self-centered, egotistical, and impatient. Yet, we make it work and value our relationship. After all he’s my hard headed, self-centered, egotistical, and impatient partner and I’m his hard headed, self-centered, egotistical, and impatient partner.
I think most relationships have these characteristics (note: I said most, not all). This week, I hope to pull my love closer to me. I hope to revel in his embrace rather than a shower. I hope the whisper will be our love rather than the wind. I hope we find ourselves in love all over again everyday….
I hope…
