I truly appreciate the many things that my husband does for me, but more importantly why he does them.  It has to do with his heart, the kind of man that he is inside.  No doubt, I have been physically attracted to him ever since we met in high school…everything about him turns me on but I also love what’s on the inside. He is loving, kind, gentle, faithful and forgiving. He has this incredible mind…I love to watch him work through problems that most of us would give up on (or never even begin to attempt). And he makes me laugh! We have so much fun together that it ought to be illegal! We love to do things together…some times they are cerebral in nature. Just a few minutes ago, he shared some cool thing that he found on-line. A gal that has truly been blessed with mathematical/musical genius. Google Vi Hart and you will see what I mean. We enjoy sharing music with one another…music videos or songs from the past when our love was young. We love all kinds of music but somehow those songs that are a “blast from the past” arouse feelings as if we were 16 and 17 yrs. of age again.

My life couldn’t be more wonderful and I am so thankful for my husband…he is my very best friend, my lover, my helpmate, my partner in everything in life. We have never been happier than we are right now. We feel a contentment that most people never feel…a connection that is out of reach for most. Tonight when we go to bed, we will snuggle up tight, two becoming one. Maybe we will bosom; if we do it is the icing on the cake that I enjoy every day of my life. To my husband, I would be lost without you, but with you, I have everything I need.

Happy Valentine’s Day to my DH,

A Clock Free Day

Weekends are wonderful. As much as I enjoy the the  rhythm of the Monday through Friday schedules, I always look forward to the rare weekends when there is no need to watch the clock. We got out of bed when we were ready too, not when we “had too.” We ate when we got hungry, not on a clock. We rushed or hurried, only because it felt good, and we started and stopped whatever we were doing because, well just because. No reason needed.

With a family as large as mine, rarely is there a day that is flexible and not dependent on the clock. Today though, was one of those days. We took advantage of today’s freedom to live by impulse. We got in the extra snuggling times and they lasted longer than we are usually allowed.

Is this what it will be like when we are retired? I wonder if then, we will miss the hustle and bustle of a large family and businesses to run like clock work.  I have to admit the challenge of stealing away some time, and splurging those moments on “quickies” lends to some excitement. Spontaneous bursts of pent up passion snuck into impossible schedules…

Well for now, that is the norm. So it is nice to get a day like today… a day where every longing, every ache, gets answered.

His Milkmaid

I raised my garden a few weeks ago and planted cool weather plants; started seeds inside to be trans-planted later. Everything just seems so fresh and new. I feel younger somehow during this time of year. My arthritis doesn’t act up as much and I don’t feel as stiff when I wake up simply because I am more active when the weather is warmer…kind of like a reptile…LOL!

And is there anything better than bosoming and making love with the windows open and a slight breeze blowing through the room. Just me and my hubby…the only two people in the world (or so it seems) loving, pleasuring and nurturing  one another in ways that only we can. My husband is the ONLY man that has ever truly loved me; aside of my own father…but I’m talking about Romantic Love. Dad used to say that true love is a verb, an action word…it has feet. Love is demonstrated through actions. My DH knows me so well, sometimes better than I know myself. He understands my needs and provides a back or foot rub whenever I need it MOST…he demonstrates his love in so many ways I find myself on a mission to love and care for him in every way possible. Truly I think we sometimes try to “outlove” one another…not out of competition, but out of a true desire to love one another to the fullest extent.

We are not promised tomorrow; I want to use each and every day as an opportunity to love my husband better, longer, and deeper…who knows when a simple kiss goodbye may be our last. My father passed away 6 yrs. ago…it still hurts, especially when I see my mother’s loneliness. Dad truly loved my mom.
Cling not to worldly possessions but to those people that you love; they are the only things that truly last.

May you have a blessed spring day as you ponder the ones you love and demonstrate your love for them.

Lovingly,

Many of us, I imagine, tend to post less on these sights when the nursing has decreased significantly or even ceased for a time. Like all things in life, even our ANR will ebb and flow. Illnesses, surgeries and the birth of a child bring change and often pain that disallow us to participate in the very things that bring us closer to our mate.

This has been our experience as well as others. Having to abstain from nursing while ill or in pain can be very frustrating but is normal. Be gentle with yourself and your loved one. When you are emotionally upset or are frustrated with the situation at hand, just remember that your circumstances WILL change. It is hard to remember that when we are in the “thick of it all”. But this too shall pass and things will be back to normal.

If you are the healthier mate at the time, do things that make your loved one feel valued and loved. Snuggling close together while watching a movie or just leaving them alone to get some much needed rest may be in order. Just ask them what they need. Sometimes when we are sick we aren’t even sure of what we need. Offering to draw a hot bath or make some soup may help…comfort measures  as needed.

I recently have had a stomach virus that lasted about a week just prior to a minor surgical procedure. For two weeks my hubby had to take over all of the duties feeding us, doing the laundry all while working our home business alone. Now we both have terrible colds and we feel like crud! My DH never complained once while I cried having my own little pity party. That was the day the pain was at its worst. I took my Darvocet and all was right with the world again. These peri-menopausal years don’t help either. God help my husband; at times I feel like I’ve been invaded by the “body snatchers”. Hubby is most definitely my hero…he takes such great care of me. He is “The Man”! I thank God for him every day as he is the glue that holds everything together…the go-to guy.

Everyone experiences physical and emotional challenges from time to time. Stress affects even the very best marriages.  Please feel free to share your story with us at Woman-essence; it may be the very thing that someone needs to hear right now.

Blessings to all as you snuggle, nuzzle, and bosom your loved one!

I am and will always,

Luvmyhub
