Tonight, quietly, with just ourselves, we celebrated.
T's birthday was on January 30. Mine will be tomorrow.
And ... Valentine's Day is approaching.
In the midst of this season of wonders and baffling, almost breath-taking changes, He took Himself out shopping and bought pretties for us both -- gifts chosen by Himself just for us. And lovely, sweet, sentimental, romantic cards to go along with the pretties...
It is a new and beautiful thing -- far, far different than the giving of gifts from one of us to the other one of us with a card chosen for Him to sign...
I keep looking at the beautiful bauble on my wrist, knowing that He saw it, liked it, and chose it for me and for T. and I am simply thrilled and amazed.
For all my fears and all my worries as we begin to travel this new path, I am starting to believe that it will be of such simple joys and kindnesses that our new life together will be built.

What a different birthday this year, and what a special one.
ReplyDeleteI am so filled with hope for the three of you.
ReplyDeleteI wonder
if he has spanked you lately, and
if that is important, and
if I am childish for even asking. :)
Simple joys and kindnesses are the way to go Sue.
ReplyDeleteGreat gifts are guiles and ask for gifts again,
My trifles come as treasures from my mind.
It is a precious jewel to be plaine,
Sometimes in shell the orient's pearls we find.
