Absence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder
Sometimes you do not realise what you've got until you've lost it. Or in my case it* goes away for a few days. A friend said to me the other night that absence makes the heart grow fonder. I haven't quite worked out what I think about absence helping me grow fonder of the one I love. What I do know is that in this short absence I am remembering how stupendously blessed I have been and that I am in this present moment. I have spent years waiting, hoping, dreaming, failing, falling, hoping to meet someone. And the someone I met has far exceeded even my wildest dreams.
It is only when we're quiet that we can reflect and give realisation a chance to bear its fruit within our lives.
So I shall endeavour to make the most of this absence by reflecting upon all that God has blessed me with, not only in the last 5 months and 26 days, but also the last 30 years, 2 months and 24 days. Such as life, family, salvation, friends, worth, gifts, music, words, creativity and the most amazing girlfriend.
(*And my profound apologies that you became an "it" in the first two sentences)
