I am alone again for the next few days

Sneakers left a few hours ago to be gone all week working. He has been home for a week which is rare and it has been wonderful to have him home so long. We did not get much done that we had planned to but there is always tomorrow to get things done. I have not felt good this past week so I have done a lot of sleeping. We did manage to get all of the laundry and linens done which was a 3 hour trip to the laundromat and the kitchen has been cleaned up, condemned, cleaned up and condemned yet again. Such wonderful food has come out of the kitchen before it was condemned though so that worked out as well.
The truck repairs are almost complete but this round of truck repairs was quite costly. It amazes me that I do not even flinch anymore when I get handed a repair bill or any bill for that matter for $8000.00+. We have another project being completed this week that will be $5087.00 and that did not make me flinch either. The week after the truck will be finished as far as repairs go and that will be another $5000.00+ and it is no big deal. This is the cost of doing business and I finally accepted the fact that doing business is expensive all at the same time not just in pieces.
The last garage sale of the season is this coming weekend and honestly I am glad they are almost over. I am going to set all of my things on one table with a sign that says "Make me a reasonable offer" and any reasonable offer will be accepted. I personally would like to have at least one more garage sale though either right before Thanksgiving or right after Thanksgiving. I have some brand new seat belt handbags that I would love to get rid of along with a few electronic items that even used would be a great gift at a reasonable cost for someone. I don't use these things and haven't in a while and when I did use them it was not often. Instead of a garage sale though I am going to put an ad in the local newspaper and hope for the best.
Otherwise it was a beautiful day here weather wise, not too chilly, not too humid, not too breezy, just pleasant all day. This is my absolute favorite time of year going into fall. It is cool enough for a sweater or long sleeve shirt, the air seems fresh, crisp and clean, the sun is out, the stars shine brightly after the moon wakes from it's slumber and nature is winding down another season to rest its weary bones for the winter. A time to renew, refresh, rejuvenate and get ready for spring to wake up and show its beauty everyday for a few months. I feel like that every time I take a shower, it is just warm, relaxing, refreshing and just makes me feel good, even when it is freezing when you get out of the shower. The best is when I have fresh towels from the dryer and my clothes are still warm from the dryer as well. The warmth that embraces me is magical and it just makes me feel good.
It is similiar to the feeling I get when someone I love who loves me gives me a hug. It is a magical feeling to know that someone on this planet full of humans loves me enough and cares enough to take the time out of their day to give me a hug. I am the only person in their hearts, souls, minds and arms at that moment and I am the only one that matters for that moment and it is good enough for me. One small moment of love, kindness, generosity, giving completely from another human all of their energy and feelings wrapped in the warm embrace of one hug.
My husband hugs me every chance he gets and it is not just because he is my husband it is because he is my husband and he wants to hug me. It is important enough for him that bacon has burned, toast gotten cold and cereal gotten mushy because he took a moment out of his life to hug me because at that moment I was the most important part of his life. Each time he hugs me is like the first time because each time I am just as important to him as I was the first time he wrapped me in the loving embrace of his arms. I am beyond able to provide the approrpriate words to describe how blessed and loved I truly am. I know this every moment of every day just like I know I am loved and embraced by God every moment of every day and this knowledge gives me peace, tranquility and contentment.
I do get upset at times but that is all part of being human but I do remember when I step back and take a breath that I am the most important person to someone when I remember those who have taken time out of their lives to give me a hug. Hugs are certainly not the only form of affection and certainly not the absolute end all most important form of affection but sometimes that hug can take you through your entire week when you are apart from each other. That simple physical gesture can mean so much and when not given can mean so much. There are times when it means so little because it is merely an action without passion attached to it which is sad but true.
So many little gestures in life can mean so much to someone and can mean so little to someone else. It is one of the parts of humanity that still has me scratching my head and wondering why there is such a difference. Oh well, something I may never truly understand but nothing to dwell on at this moment in time. This moment in time I am remembering the hug that will take me through my week without my husband being home. The hug that I was given right before he left to go to work. The hug that told me once again that I am the most important person to him at that moment in his life. The hug that I returned so he knows he is the most important person to me at that moment in my life. The hug that I hope will take him through his week while he is away. The hug that I hope he takes to bed with him that he will feel and remember as he drifts off to sleep. The blankets will keep him warm physically but I hope that one hug right before he left will keep his heart and soul warm knowing I hugged him before he left.
So what does one hug mean to you when you receive it? What does it mean when you give it? Is the meaning the same every time you give a hug or is there a different meaning depending on who you are hugging? Is the meaning different depending on who is hugging you? Thoughts to ponder if you choose to as you journey through the timbers of your life. Which path do you follow when it comes to hugs? Are they always sincere and genuine or are they simply a physical show for others to see?
Rest well, may God bless you in ways you have never imagined (if you believe) and I wish you a most pleasant week through the timbers of your life........
