ah, saturday. i love saturdays... the days of freedom and laziness. today was an exceptionally wonderful saturday. the weather was GORGEOUS! i think the temperature actually hit 60. the birds were chirping, the sun was shining, the suirrels were... uh... well... doing whatever they do, and i was reveling in the beauty and serenity of nature. it was the perfect day... almost. if only i could have spent it with my boyfriend. i try so hard not to allow this situation to keep me from enjoying myself, but it isn't exactly an easy task. i've been through this before, but at that time the world was in a much more stable state (what a scary thought considering the state it was in at that time). jimi has been in kuwait (this time) now for approximately two months. two months... i can't believe it's been that long since i've seen his smiling face. the thought brings tears to my eyes. no one should have to be away from the love of their life for that long. but like i said before, this isn't the first time. i will get through it. i don't know how- other than by the grace of God- but i will get through it. for some reason days like these make me think of him more than other days. maybe because they bring with them the thought of hope and peace. whatever the reason, i miss him very much today. i long for the day when we will be able to walk down the street, hand-in-hand, reveling together in the beauty and serenity of the world around us.
