A relationship reimagined.......

I am currently in a very long distance relationship.....and I understand that that sort of thing is not for everybody.....and for me.....in this moment in time......it seems just perfect....technological advances help make it easier......we get to be a part of each other's day, each day, in lots of ways.....and we perhaps perfected the art of connection across the miles when we were first friends.....finding clever ways to connect, and having phases of our relationship take place......and there have been many twists and turns, and near misses in this story.....but it is most definitely been a storyline that was meant to play in my life.....of that I am now certain.....and so......the distance part will take care of itself one day, or not....and it is really of no consequence to either of us.....we are both content to let the unfolding occur as it should. We both share a deep faith in that sort of thing....one of the ties that binds.....his faith and mine.....and so the timing and the understanding that if we are to ever live in the same zip code that will become apparent.....and the way will appear....but for now....this works....and particularly amid my conviction with my children....and feeling deeply that they should get a lot of me in this chapter.....and being swept up in a love affair next door would impede that.....no question......so.....this was delivered instead:) So yesterday being Valentine's Day.....left us with creative ways to share it! He sent me a romantic and sweet gift....they are long distance bluetooth bracelets that have all sorts of tech savvy ways for us to connect across the miles.....us being able to alert the other when they are on our mind.....and an app to communicate better, and between us, different codes etc:).....and one has the sun and one the moon, and well that is perfect.....and when I pulled in and saw the box on my porch......there he was....I knew it was from him........and I share the gift today because.....I believe it will be another chapter in our story....another way to connect....another phase if you will......we have had many phases that have played out.....fun little things that are ours......and so this feels fun to think of and I need to mail him his.....and then a new adventure begins.....we were supposed to have a weekend together, and then Mother Nature had other plans.....and now I trust those things too, and know that the next weekend for him to come see me will make itself known amid our schedules, has it has all along.......and this relationship is reimagined.....no question, it is not traditional or the norm.....but it is ours.....and unique in the ways that speak to us and our unique ways.....and I suppose that is an understanding I have come to.....that nothing we do needs to make sense to the masses......it has to make sense to us.....period.....and so this currently makes sense....and our faith is leading the way, and well that is enough:) Happy Saturday:)xoxo
