Cherish The Unexpected

---

This old gal…

Is not really a coveter…doesn’t sit around watching others…wishing she had this or that…is happy with what life’s given her…but has to admit…there’s one phrase…uttered by other women…which brings about a little twinge of jealousy…

My husband cleaned my car for me…

Don’t know why…its not about the task…it’s something about the gesture…and it’s not that this husband of mine doesn’t help with chores…cuz…he does…it just may be…that for at least the last 35 years…there has never been an offer from someone else…to clean it…

Until today…sitting outside after breakfast…mentioned dusting the car…and suddenly there he was…bucket in one hand…rag in another…asking if the doors were unlocked…

It was random…so very random…but then…maybe not…the car…the middle of the night hug…those beautiful hydrangeas…

Someone…for some reason…is checking off boxes…fulfilling desires long forgotten…and this someone…this old gal someone…who sees and remembers…feels very…very…blessed…

And this husband of mine…agrees…
