Yet another month is set to slip away into the past and it's another month that we are still miles apart. In many ways, it seems we are more miles apart now than we were before. It is the sad reality I guess of life that people are slipping further and further apart. I think sometimes we use the word introvert to justify becoming isolated, like hermits. Maybe that's a bit too pessimistic, but at times it seems so.
I am doing my part not to be a hermit however, as I am making new friends, first online, but I am meeting some new ones next week and look forward to doing so.
Did you know that there are now more IKEA catalogs printed than the Bible? I am not a Christian and there are problematic items in the Bible, but there are also many good things and it again is a rather sad state of affairs that we are more interested in cheap furniture than in walking spiritual path.
I started a second blog site, too, to share my writing Words from My Cells (http://wordsfrommycells.weebly.com/). Give it a read or two if you have time.
I have continued to see signs of you in my SPAM and associations. The most interesting came my way the other day on a young girl's t-shirt. It featured a cartoon girl. That cartoon quite easily could have been one someone drew of you. The cartoon girl had your color of red hair, was dressed in purple and was wearing sunglasses as you are often want to do. The cartoon girl also had a slim smile on her lips like you often do. It so reminded me of you. Today, when coming home from an errand, I had to take a detour that took me past not only your old house that you shared with your mother, but also the apartment you lived in when we first met. I guess seeing those places and recalling all the good affected me a bit this evening.
I counted 22 Kia's last Friday, 32 on Saturday, 108 on Sunday, 26 on Monday, 3 yesterday an d18 today.
I sincerely look forward to our get together at the distillery on Saturday. I only hope it is not the last time or that it takes quite so long to do something together again, but if it does, it does. I can endure. I also came to a conclusion of something very important. I don't want to make that public though, so it will be in my "letter" book that will go to you eventually. I am on my 2nd one of those. Not sure, but I might give you that first book of letters that was roughly the first 6 months after you left me, soon.
I have changed in many ways from the person you left, ways that are only for the better. There is one thing though that will not change, not ever, that is my love for you is as strong today as it was the day I met you. I will never stop asking each evening, throwing it out there in the universe and hoping one day you will not only hear, but will answer: Will you marry me?
Forever yours,
MNP
