A Gift To Wake Up To

One of the things I've known for a while is that Sally likes to get up early in the AM when she can. What I didn't know is why. She told me that she rarely gets the chance to have any alone time and that is likely her only opportunity to get it. I hadn't really thought of that before and it made good sense to me. What's my point? I'm getting there... :-)

As I mentioned in my last post, Sally had a shindig for her friends and all indications I've gotten so so far are that it was a great success. I'm very happy for her on that front. I like it when she's having a good time. Of course, I'd prefer to be part of it, but that's another post entirely! LOL

My point in mentioning this is that she went to bed much later than she normally does, which pretty much eliminated the option of an early wake up for her. Well, I wasn't going to wait up for her to go to finish and go to bed, right? That would have been ridiculous. It probably would have had me just writing another blog about how I'm sitting around lonely writing blog posts! :-D You can see the downward spiral or that circular logic, eh? There I go digressing again...

Anyway, after she finished cleaning up last night and before she turned in for the evening, she sent me a text message. She told me that she knew that I was in bed and wouldn't get the message until morning, but she wanted me to know that every time she sees me she feels such a thrill and considers herself lucky.

When I read that this morning, I was both touched and tickled. I wrote her back and told her that I thought what she wrote to me was probably one of the nicest things that anyone had ever said to me. The key point for me was to have someone really feel that way about me is very special and I appreciated hearing that from her.

I've not given up on her and I don't intend to. At the same time, I just have to watch out for the level at which I set my expectations.
