On Thursday, my boyfriend decided to come and surprise me. He lives 5 hours away and I had not seen him in 2 weeks. Normally that would make me happy, but he wasnt even to be here for 24 hours. I became grumpy. I told him the fact that he was only coming up for a night "sucked". I basically was trying to tell him to not even bother.
LUCKILY.. he does not seem to hear me when i act that way. He came anyways… we had an amazing time together. Nooone makes me laugh like he does. Even the simple act of him grocery shopping with me made my day better than it would have been.
After he left, I realized it doesnt matter the amount of time i am with him… it is how that time is spent. He could have been here for a week and it could have been horrible… we had 20 hours together and it was great. Which would I rather have? Also, I need to focus on that actual time and what I AM getting and not what i think i should be getting. everything happens as it is supposed to and I am learning to just be grateful for all the blessings passed to me each and every day.. whether they are here to stay or fleeting…
Many people live together and see each other everyday… and start to not even notice their partner… they take each other for granted. Although what I have can be hard (long distance) I think I prefer it in that when we are together we totally are present and appreciate what time we have together!
Today I choose to be completely grateful for every minute, no matter how fleeting it may be….
