Words for Her

I was contemplating the reason why I write. I surprisingly concluded that it is because I like myself the most when reading the words I have written. Not at the moment of writing though, it takes about six months for objectivity to kick in but after that I am able to enjoy and say, "I like her.
I hope for the time when once the words have flowed from my belly, written or spoken, I will immediately respond by putting my arms around her saying, "How wonderful !"

My thoughts exactly. I usually can't stand what I'm writing when I'm writing it. But let some time pass and rereading those words I once wrote tend to make me smile. It's an amazing thing. I have to remind myself of this each time I write. Before, I would just give up. Later I would go back and read that bit that I had written and find myself wondering why I had ever stopped. It was so great and wonderful. Why was I so blind. But yes, there are rare ocassions that I'm smiling at the words that flow across the page as my fingers work furiously on the keyboard. It's those moments when I feel I'm already in heaven.

It is something that when we think we are alone in some thought, we often aren't!
