Nothing Compares
This morning, after sleeping more than 11 hours straight, I rolled over and looked at the clock. Yikes!
I meet so many of you here first thing in the morning on Mondays, Wednesday and Fridays and today I’m late. Incredibly late. But I’ve got a good reason.
I slept. That may not sound like a good reason but my body clearly needed it. I’ve been working such long hours, as has Keith, so we decided to take a few days off and travel to Aruba. I came a day ahead because he had a last minute meeting he had to take before joining me here. Now, I excitedly await his arrival.
As I was walking along the beach yesterday afternoon, I was reminded of how much I enjoyed being alone when I was single. This is a very romantic island so many seemed confused when I asked for a table for one at dinner last night. But I did that alot when I was single and it never struck me as odd (although I can’t say the same for the waiters who served me). I was perfectly happy and content when I met my husband. I truly enjoyed being alone.
Then love changed all that. My life went from wonderful to absolutely amazing. As much as I enjoyed being single, I can’t imagine going back to that place. Life with my husband is so much better. I never minded having dinner alone, I even enjoyed it. But having someone to talk to, laugh with, smile at and hold hands under the table, is such a gift. A gift I do not take for granted.
So as I sit in my hotel room in Aruba, overlooking the beautiful ocean, I am thinking about three things: the amazing wonders of God’s hands painting this beautiful earth, my hubby who is on a plane Aruba-bound, and you. I’m thinking about you this moment hoping you will cherish your extraordinary life with the one you love. Being single was fun, but nothing compares to a lifetime with your best friend.
