I rarely have pity parties…I find them, umm pitiful…however yesterday I may have had one, I left work after nine hours…got in my car, and it was hot…over a 100 degrees…me and heat are not best friends, but I drove on, got home and was enveloped in the cool comfort of home, spoke to my man…and sat on the bed listening to thunder, lightning and rain…and felt a bit melancholy…because it occurred to me that I have a number of people who I love, love, love…and I rarely if ever hear from them, in a routine manner, no how are you doing emails, texts or phone calls…UNLESS…the bottom is falling out of their lives, if they are broke, needy or distressed…brnnnng, brnnng goes my phone…otherwise, I have to reach out and touch them…I know my own advice would be to relax and let them go, but, sometimes…and these are people who aren’t really going anywhere, they are part and parcel of my life…
I think that what sometimes happens with those of us who are always doing…that other think we don’t need anything…they see that we have a lot and are BLESSED beyond measure…but check this out, no matter how much we have or how Blessed we are, we still want to hear from people we love and who profess to love, love us…
The other day, I received an email from someone who I only know through cyberspace, but she really touched me, she thanked me for sending her a book in exchange for a review…then told me, “I am going to send you your money, you deserve to be paid for your work…” Seems like a small thing, but it was huge for me, because things like that rarely happen in my life…rarely…made me think…
Anyway, by the time my man got home last night and we snuggled for a bit, had a light dinner and laughed a while, I felt better…he does that for me…he asked me if I felt better…he knows me, but anyway I asked him what he meant, he said, “Oh I can tell when you have one of those days…” I smiled because he can and he does, and I thank God for him, because he absolutely gets that every now and then, superwoman likes a ‘Hello, how are you, I was just thinking about you…’ for real…
BE PEACE~
