Thankfulness
Thankfulness
I was asked today what I am thankful for and the first thing that popped into my mind was ...Rita
I am the luckiest guy in the world. I had given up on ever finding a woman who could tolerate my odd nature... I accepted a long time ago that I am not normal, that I see the world through a different window... and that most women just could not live with the way I am different. I have tried repeatedly but it always came down to...
"If you loved me you wouldn't be so... you!"
Rita has never even hinted that I should be anyone other than myself. She does not tolerate my quirks, she does not love me in spite of those traits. It's those things that endear me to her. How odd, the very same things that drove others to drink and worse are the things that make her smile. I have never been so comfortable in the presence of another person.
I think she is smarter than me and she thinks I am smarter than her and we treat each other like that, both of us looking up to the other. Every day she teaches me something I didn't know, explains something I didn't understand.
I have decided that our love is like an expensive pair of handmade Italian loafers.
It's like walking barefoot but the stones don't hurt your feet.
Like I said, I am the luckiest guy in the world...
