OK. So this one is a blatant homage to my man. I don't apologize. It is true, mostly.
I cannot get along without Hubby. Besides the fact that he is my rock, the dude who pulls me out of the sludge of deep depression and the hunky best gift giver ever, he is also an incredibly handy dude.
This has come in very handy as of late. Today he worked on the feed delivery truck, had the tractor wheel torn apart, moved pallets of pelleted bedding around the ranch for me, picked up kids from the bus stop and even took enough time out to take me to sushi for lunch to cheer me up. That is a pretty incredible dude! Especially since heading to town is a 30 minute drive at best.
Hubby is an incredible dude. He is the best gift giver EVER! He has even done the unthinkable and purchased a woman's most elusive purchase... A handbag! And he did it very well! I used that purse until the "big bag" came back into style. Almost 3 years! Can you believe that???? A purse! He has also bought me dresses, coats, jackets, the most beautiful jewels and yes, even horse items - Once. I only had to say something once and I never saw another horse related item under the tree again. SCORE!
He is very logical. I love that. I am not logical. I am artistic. I am passionate. I am fiery. I am not logical. He is my emotional counterpart that tends to calm me in the midst of storms. He is yang to my yin. I don't see him lose his temper often. When I do, I react. But it isn't a usual happening. Unlike me who loses it on a regular basis. He isn't snotty about how calm he is either. He just is. That can be maddening. Really maddening. Murderously so. But I digress...
He is incredibly generous. Much more so than I. I try. But in the land of give it away, I fall pathetically short of Man. He would gladly give away his most precious possession if he knew it would make someone happy. He is just that way. I am a lot more selfish... This is why he completes me!
But more than completing me, Hubby gets me. He understands when I need pushed. He understands when I need to be left to my own devices and he knows instinctively when I should be allowed to spend money on just me. He truly gets me. I would love to say that that is reciprocated, and I do try... I fail a lot. But I try to get him too. My only hope is that he sincerely understands that no matter how much I mess it up, I love him more than I could have ever hoped.
I am blessed and I couldn't make it without my Hubby!
He sounds like a keeper to be sure! But you know, he also sounds smart and I'm betting his choice in a wife was quite deliberate :-)
ReplyDeleteYou write from the heart with such passion, how fun it is to read that. I tend to be an intuitive writer as well...I often look for spiritual wisdom to gain a deeper understanding for what I'm feeling. I love Thomas Moore(http://www.careofthesoul.net) I was visiting his site yesterday. This reminds me of what you've written: Jungian psychology holds that a marriage between two people is also a deep archetypal union of all opposites. The vast inner worlds of each person encounter each other and find yet another movement toward reconciliation. Behind each human marriage the opposites at work throughout life link, creating a more cohesive world.
ReplyDeleteSo anyway, I agree with The Fragrant Muse...I'm sure you are the opposite that completes your husband as well. How wonderful that you recognize and appreciate each other.
