Anticipation

I am addicted to Hallmark movies and to all movies that celebrate love and romance. But I also have noticed a different view that I have around the situation of love and romance.

All the movies we watch come to a point in the plot when the male or female lead will do something and take a step back because they are scared and frightened by what lies ahead.

As we watched a movie tonight and came to the joyful conclusion where all was resolved and the final kiss occurred, I had to share with my wife.

When we danced our destiny I was a lot of things. But I was never scared or terrified. Stop and realize that suddenly standing in front of me was my dream. My dream, my anam cara, my life partner. I had someone to play through the universe in an eternal recess experiencing everything. On top of it all, she chose me! She wanted me to be by her side. I couldn't wait to get started. I waited three months to ask her to marry me because of some planning issues more than anything else. Everyone knew a proposal was coming; they just didn't know when it would happen. So I was excited to get started. Our minister who mentored me and married us called us a walking "lovefest."

We still have so much fun and I just plain don't understand when someone says to me, 'I have to go spend time with my old lady.' I can't wait to spend time with my wife!

The difficult time for us is that I can be quite a handful. It is a bit overwhelming and too much of me is like the carbonation from a soda up your nose! The body expels part of it from different places. But I am always reminded of the Joni Mitchell song. She sang, "I could drink a case of you yeh darling; I'd be still on my feet, I would still be on my feet." Your fizz tickles my nose over and over again and I treasure the tickle!

Find the things that tickle your nose, and experience them over and over again.
