My husband and I live a fairly orderly life. Mostly quiet, unless we feel the urge to talk. We sat tonight in front of the PC while I downloaded some youtube videos, and enjoyed those songs together, reminiscing about yesteryear, and some of the songs, of days gone by.
Earlier, I had been on Soul Cast and commented on some posts with a certain satisfaction, that I had interracted with some of my Soul Cast friends.
There were a couple of posts, that had my interest peaked in a bit of an adversarial way, but after I listened to Bob Dylan's "Knock Knock Knocking on Heaven's Door, and Janis Joplin's Crybaby, Me and Bobby McGee and Pieces of My Heart, John Lennon's I'm Lonely, and Blind Faith's " I Can't Find My Way Back Home."
..I came back to Soul Cast, in a mellow mood and those couple of posts didn't even interest me. I just sat here reading some of my friends posts and some brought a tear to my eye and some made me laugh, but I was feeling the peace and calmness left over from the music that I thought...
"There are things that are just not worth arguing about!" So, the person's post that would normally get a rise out of me, no longer had any hold on me. It was totally powerless. Didn't make me defensive or even care about what I thought.
Then I got to thinking. How peaceable my life is with my husband who loves and cares for me, and sits and holds my hand, and loves the meals I fix for him, and the dress I choose to wear and the little dab of perfume behind my ears, and tells me how pretty I am, and how lucky he is to have me in his life, and my life is good.
ANd at that moment, nothing else matters except for him and me.
