The time value of.... TIME.

It's late and I should be sleeping... I'd actually like to be sleeping, but I can't seem to fall asleep. It's because I miss him. I went on a trip for the holidays, which was long enough, but now that I'm on vacation for the next several days and he's still working, I think I miss him more. I have been looking forward to my vacation because it means more time for each other, but really, what I was waiting for was a vacation we could enjoy together. Looking ahead, however, he does have a four day weekend and plans to stay in on New Years, so hopefully we'll get to catch up on the regular things couples take for granted... like a conversation, a relaxed meal, a game of cards, or sharing a good book by reading to one another. Its difficult to see how much the little interactions of daily life sustain relationships, but I believe we've come to better know such value. And, since I can't sleep, I figure I might as well try and stay up until he's off work and home... but I know I'll never make it that late...

I wish we could both find new jobs. It'd be a fresh start on a good path... and hopefully, we would have more time to share with one another...


I love being in love. It's full of new lessons, raw emotions, and discovery.

I'm one of those bloggers.... the one that randomly posts and then forgets about my own blog for months at a time. Lucky for me, I only have three followers, so there aren't too many people to be let down.

My life is still on the rise and I'm still struggling with things as time passes, but its not a bad struggle, it's a growth struggle. I'm improving myself and becoming the woman I desire to be, the friend, companion, and lover I have always hoped to become. I'm learning the depths of my own soul and discovering the amazing person that lies within. I'm happy and forward focused, eager to enjoy today, but ready to face tomorrow, whatever the day might bring.

I'm in love and growing in love. Relationships are challenging, and I am thoroughly enjoying the challenges that come with this wonderful, pure, and honest love I share with another. He helps me see things with a brighter perspective and catches softly when I start to fall, before I can tumble over the edge and out of control. I want good things for myself in this life, but equally so, I desire my actions and inactions to promote positivity for him as well. I feel as though I am part of an equal equation, one that makes sense, yet remains exciting enough to hold onto a bit of mystery; its the mystery of another that keeps lovers growing together perpetually.

It's Friday and that's my favorite day of the week. Not because the work week is over and I'm absent from my desk for the weekend, and not because it means tons of exciting and fun activities, but because it means I am free to spend my time as I enjoy - with my love, with our family, and in a relaxed, non-rushed state of mind. Weekends always bring much hustle and bustle, but its the kind I welcome, the kind that means I'm alive.
