Words

I know I've written about this before on here but still I find it kind of spooky how when I find myself at a loose end something occurs to occupy my mind and take away the boredom. I don't understand it - it's like someone or something is looking down upon me, watching me and looking out for me. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, perhaps it's just coincidence but it's happened a fair few times now, it makes me wonder......

I'm talking specifically about last night - a Saturday night when I'm usually with my boyfriend; if you've been keeping up with my posts you'll understand he's ill at the moment with a cold. Hence I found myself alone and slightly downhearted because of it all which also caused a slightly melancholic post last night. I was at a very loose end, still feeling ill myself and bored; then the phone rang it was girlfriend. She was ringing to see if I was feeling any better before we digressed and talked, laughed and talked some more, about 30 minutes more to be exact. The end result was that she cheered me up, picked me out of the doldrums and put a smile back upon my face. So much so that when we finished talking I immediately phoned my boyfriend to see if he was okay; unfortunately he wasn't but I tried my best to cheer his world up and I got a ghost of a laugh from him. It was just nice to hear his voice, regardless as to whether he didn't sound his normal, happy self; and we still managed the small talk if nothing else. I hope sending loving thoughts, hugs and kisses through satellites work.

After finishing up on that conversation my Mum phoned me to check I was okay; and we began talking about my brother before moving onto my boyfriend. When she found out he was ill too, oh my gosh I cannot repeat what she said to me, or can I? She said, "you two shouldn't be dicking each other all the time!" I kid you not, those were my Mums words, which to to be honest are true, to the point and hilariously funny - so cool; I was laughing and coughing so much I thought I was going to pass out.

It was now getting late and I headed into the kitchen for a cigarette and a drink of water before going to bed. (Note to self smoking whilst I have a cough and cold is not beneficial!) Can you guess the next occurrence? If it involves a ringing phone you guessed correctly because my brother rings me - twice in two days; so we talk and he's making further enquiries about my boyfriend, life, work and everything in between. Figuring it was open season I turn the tables and start firing questions right back at him - he spent the day with his new love in the famous sand dunes near Corralejo under blue sunny skies and temperatures hitting 36C; as I said earlier in the week it appears luck is finally shining down upon him.

In total I spent about two hours on the phone, I didn't know I could talk so much nor have that much to say; and after thinking I was just going to be stuck at a loose end all night and going to bed early, time had flown. I looked at the clock it was closing in on midnight, I'd spoken to many of the people I hold nearest and dearest to my heart; together we laughed, bridged gaps, healed wounds and cheered ourselves up.

As I said I'm certain it's more than coincidence but whatever it may or may not have been one thing's for sure; it was time well spent. Words they make a world of difference.........
