"Two hearts beating as one soothes the
soul and deepens the love." R.A.S. |
I spent most of today completing work for school and one of my clients. I decided to complete my work at my office away from home, Panera Bread. I love that they open early and close late and have great food. Bryan left the house pretty early today and tonight is the Baltimore Raven's first preseason game and his friend's birthday so I knew he would be out late. However I did not anticipate missing him so much this evening when I returned home.
After getting settled I realized I was not going to get my one minute hug because I will be sleep by the time he gets home and I am really missing it. I guess it did have an impact on my subconscious yesterday and it certainly left me with heightened emotions. Today I am honoring my husband with sadness. When I used to travel extensively for work I would have these moments but it was usually after about 3 days. Well it has not even been 24 hours and I am wishing my husband was home to give me my one minute hug. This is somewhat of a new space for me yet I only want to bask in the moment. That will make it just that much more joyous when he does come home.
Wives of the world in what ways do you honor your husband's with sadness? How much time has to pass before you begin to experience sadness when you and your husband are apart? Or are you over joyed to have some alone time? There are times I get excited to have some alone time, but tonight is not one of those times. You may wonder, how one can honor their husband with sadness. Well what it means for me is that my heart is pounding with anticipation, my thoughts are filled joyous memories of him and my body is longing for his arms to be around me and because I have all of that going on, I am sad that he's not within reach at the moment. So I guess you can say I am missing my husband this evening and I truly wonder how much of it has to do with our new practice of the one minute hug. Wives please share your stories with us; we would love to hear from you.
Blessings,
Rochelle

Oh how I love Panera too!! Our little, "middle-of-no-where" town just got one about a year ago and I suddenly don't feel like we're so far from civilization :)
Anyway, thanx for your continued encouraging comments on my blog ... I will update on my Health soon - I'm hanging in there steady but not making any more progress. I do plan to keep at it though.
