Thinking About You

Thinking About You
The sweet warmth of fading sunshine penetrating the chill of a late summer’s evening brings back some wonderfully warm memories. For one reason or another, the waning days of summer have been the magical time of year when someone new and wonderful enters my life for the first time.

I know my role is often as an oasis to replenish the soul, to help someone see their true self and find the beauty in strength within for the next leg of life’s journey. Investing yourself in someone very special is tremendously rewarding but, just as there must be balance in the universe, a great sense of reward is often balanced by a sense of loss.

There is an innate sadness when you realize that a chapter of your life you wrote with someone very special is now complete. And yet when something as simple as a song or a cool autumn breeze summons the cherished engraved memories of that chapter, the sadness fades into a beautiful sense of warmth and comfort. I despise the term “letting go” because I want the memories that are filled with joy and beauty to be enduring.

“Thinking About You” by Norah Jones beautifully captures those slightly painful but oh so sweet and comforting feelings that accompany the treasured memories of someone special that has chosen a different path.

Yesterday I saw the sun shinin',
And the leaves were fallin' down softly,
My cold hands needed a warm, warm touch,
And I was thinkin' about you.

Here I am lookin' for signs of leaving,
You hold my hand, but do you really need me?
I guess it's time for me to let you go,
And I've been thinkin' about you,
I've been thinkin' about you.

When you sail across the ocean waters,
And you reach the other side safely,
Could you smile a little smile for me?
'cause I'll be thinkin' about you,

A very special friend recently told me that I should really spend less time cherishing old memories and more time creating new ones. It is hard not to agree but on a crazy afternoon when life seems to be getting the best of me, it such a treasure to find refuge in the sweet comfort of treasured memories.

    Quoting sexiestteacher:
    I always feel that no matter how relationships end, I typically look back at it as to how it changed me. I cherish the good memories and try to not dwell on the ones that may have brought us to the point of us not being together. I try to learn from what happened and take it with me into my next adventure.

    I do have to agree with your friend though. Sometimes it takes moving on and making new memories to push the other memories aside. I find it is easier to look at the good memories when I have moved on to making more good memories.

    By the way, I love the Norah Jones song!
This song has a special meaning and ironically it ties right into your blog post about "what would you do for love". Two years ago I met a beautiful woman that totally captivated me in every way possible. By the end of our amazing first date I was totally smitten. At the end of evening we had some quiet time alone and she shared a special cd that a friend had mixed for her. As this beautiful song played we shared a very sweet, tender and passionate first kiss.

She lived several hours away but returned every couple of months and she asked if she could see me again the next time she was in town. She was stunning and I had accumulated a few extra pounds and felt I needed to improve if I were to have a chance with her. I went on a fitness quest and lost 50 pounds getting back to my college weight to try to impress her. We corresponded for months and she was very encouraging but unfortunately she returned to the man she truly loved (the one who mixed the CD for her) and I never did get that second date.

 Thanks so much for the sweet words. It is a wonderful feeling to touch another life in a very meaningful way. It is never easy when someone close leaves your life but knowing that both lives have been forever changed and enriched by what you shared brings a sweetness that tempers and outshines the sense of loss when you touch those memories.
