Twice

If yesterday was good then today is even better, or to be more precise this evening - what an unbelievably beautiful evening; it's just absolutely stunning. We are so blessed, just blessed to be alive, to be a human being, to be able to witness, to be a part of and hopefully to appreciate evenings like these; they're beyond beautiful. The skies are a perfect shade of unbroken blue, the sun is shining, it's relatively mild as a result and it just makes my heart sing.

I couldn't believe it when I left work to head home because the day's been slightly hit and miss weather wise but the evening has more than made up for it. There's always a relief to be heading home from work anyway but when I'm walking home on an evening like this it's all the better. If knowing I'd be with my baby again tonight is not enough on its own, to feel the sunshine on my body and the blue sky above me, well it's bonus time in the feel good factor stakes. It does make you feel better, I honestly could feel myself winding down as I walked home, I thought I was pretty relaxed anyway but if there was any negativity in my body it was well and truly banished by the time I made it to my front door - I could have floated inside when I got there.

About halfway home I figured my baby should just be finishing work himself, so I phoned him up before he started the journey back home, my timing was perfect. He kept me company for the remainder of my walk and I just talked and talked to him, which is unusual because my baby is normally the one who inspires conversation; he didn't really get much of a chance but when he did he made it count. I mean I can go on some and go around the houses to get to what I really want to say, I guess it's similar to this blog, I get easily sidetracked or I just let my mind and spirit wander free to find its own way back home. So what I say in hundreds of words my baby condenses into a sentence; not that he can't talk for England but if there's something specific he wants to say he just says it; it was no different this evening and it's always beautiful, as beautiful as the weather.........

My baby got so excited when I told him what we were having for tea, I was going to keep it a surprise until he got home but I just couldn't help myself. I bought some fresh beef burgers from Marks & Spencer - the weather yesterday afternoon inspired me, it just made me associate the mildness and the promise of Spring with beef burgers; don't ask me why because I can't explain it, I just do. Anyway, I told my baby we were having cheese burgers topped with battered onion rings and a side of chips; the news went down well! Oh gosh, he really did get excited about it, so much that he began giggling to himself and it was about the only time throughout our conversation that I kept quiet. I stopped walking and just listened to him, listened to the joyful sound of my baby so happy and a smile grew across my face, I could feel it growing, it was the most beautiful feeling.

It took me twice as long to walk home this evening, not that I minded, in fact I enjoyed every second of it. With the sun shining down from a sky of blue whilst talking to the guy I adore on the phone, knowing he was so happy and knowing he would be with me soon, well what is there to be anything but grateful for? There's nothing boys and girls, absolutely nothing - it's a good time to be alive and it's a good time to be in love; life may never be perfect but on an evening like this it could be as close as ever.
