Twenty four (24) hours a day; six (6) are spent sleeping, one (1) hour is spent
with a morning ritual of coffee, yoga, meditation and journaling, nine (9) hours are
spent at work, ½ hour is spent commuting to and from work; 1 1/2 hours are spent
running errands, leaving six( 6) hours to do what I please! However, there is no pleasure
in daily household chores (laundry, feeding cats, fish and myself, organizing, housecleaning)
which take up two (2) more of those hours after work. Ok four (4) hours left for my social
life which are sometimes spent in board meetings, volunteer work or family obligations. That
leaves me one (1) hour to do something with my love life.
It's a good thing that I am not a needy person! It is even a better thing that CPT K is
not a needy person! We don't see each other during the week but we manage to get in
a few text messages during the day that includes "Good Morning", "How is UR Day?",
"Sweet Dreams" and, if we are lucky, a quick e-mail or phone call.
We do see each other 24/2 on weekends which is absolutely wonderful but not taken
for granted because CPT K lives the life of a global adventurer. He plans trips to foreign
countries on the same frequency that I plan trips to the spa!!! He brushes up on his foreign
language skills while I brush up on my fashion accessorizing skills.
The great part about "Indiana's" adventures (yes, a new nickname that is self explanatory)
is that he travels to exotic places which means exotic gifts and promises of exciting tales!
So, how does one make time for a relationship? one doesn't! We both agree that
it's not the quantity of time we spend together it's the quality! Our availability to
each other is not dependent upon our feelings for each other but rather by the desire
for our lives to be enhanced by each other not taken over by each other!!!!
Otherwise my next blog could read "Indiana" and the Temple of DOOM!!
