Been thinking
I live by the water in a place that really is picturesque and many times day by day dont seem to have a moment to take time to appreciate its beauty. I am rushed to work and to school and to do household responsibilities, be a good mom .
But every now and then I am captured by a moment when I look around me and see the infinite blue sky in front of me dotted with cotton like white clouds that looks like pillow stuffing that has been strung about and seem to be thicker in places than in others. I see the beautiful water with aqua blue and green all around, the marsh grass lining the banks as the tides rise and fall. Egrets and cranes stand at attention with one foot in the air as if they are saluting and waiting for the next shrimp parade. Sailboats gently glide through the waters near fishing boats anchor at the hole; their fishermen relax reclined in their seat watching for that hit. The sun is warm on my face and the breeze lends a pleasurable temperature that just seems to be perfect. You can smell the salt from the ocean and hear the birds in the air. What a beautiful calm in a world so hectic.
It doesnt take much to appreciate it and the minute amount of time lost in the seconds you take to drink it all in and etch it in your memory doesnt cause you to be late, it doesnt cause you to miss an opportunity, it does not mean that you arent going to accomplish that huge tasked you endeavored upon yourself that you procrastinated its completion to the point that you are now panicked that you have very little time to finish this project by the deadline, which you always manage to do somehow. But it DOES change your mood to one that is more calm and uplifted. It DOES make you smile and appreciate beauty. It DOES make you wish that you could just take the day to relax and bask in it. Lay in a hammock among tress and read; rock in a chair on a familiar front porch; swing in a swing like you were a child; lay on a blanket and nap on the beach or in a park; walk with your dog or child or friend down a shady lane. IT DOES put you in a mood of fondness and reminiscence. That brings me to the rest of my thoughts.
Have you ever known that someone who when you think of him or her, you just smile? Thoughts of their laughter makes you laugh. Thoughts of their eyes make you smile. Thoughts of the conversations of common interests that have carried on for long periods of time, then resurfaced and expanded on - give you appreciation for someone to share with. Thoughts of expanding those interests lend way to daydreams or desire to add to the list of Things I want to do.
Being around this person just makes you want to be around him or her more. Thoughts give way to smiles; sometimes your pulse changes slightly and your mind begins to race. Its good to know these thoughts. Sometimes you find yourself thinking of this person and you just cant help yourself. When around this person you tend to stare and when you arent with this person you can vividly see those eyes, that smile, the hands, hear the voice laughter.
Sometimes on a very ordinary day you are around this person and out of the blue to think WOW. You are beautiful. He/she may be tucked inside a baseball cap but you still see it. Something about this person.
I have had friends before that I have really enjoyed spending times with. But I must tell you that I have the pleasure of knowing a special someone that for some reason mesmerizes me at times. Now thats not to say that sometimes this same special person doesnt drive me off the deep end of frustration occasionally with the same depth of passion that I enjoy in a positive way.
For me, this person really does mesmerize me; his voice; the sound of his laughter; the look in his eyes. My mind lends way to thoughts of his hands; these are beautiful masculine hands - very strong and healthy. Seeing them at work and feeling them in mine and knowing what they are capable of makes me feel good. Then there are these absolutely amazing eyes and lashes like Ive never seen before. Then of course there are these legs. Now these are such sexy legs that I find myself well anyway. Add to that the having fun, the laughter we can share. The intelligent conversation. Having the same interests, likes and dislikes and then appreciating and respecting where we differ is rare and special. Being friends is special. Being best friends well, that is an ultimate plus.
When you find yourself busy/rushed/panicked/ or down, take a moment stop and breath. Look around you and appreciate something you see. Then sit for a moment and think. Think about that someone SO or not that you enjoy being around and for you, I hope that it is an SO. I hope that he/she mesmerizes you. I hope that deep down these thoughts make you start to smile from the inside out so much so that you cant help but smile. You feel your body smiling and your jaw begins to ache. I hope for you this person never breaks your heart and I hope for you that this person is always mesmerizing to you and more.
May you see your blue sky with puffy white clouds and ocean with all its beauty and I hope that you have that calm in your hectic life and I hope you feel good. R
