Thoughts and emotions to words

I'm not exactly sure if people are more expressive now than they were back a while however I believe society to be more superficial now, there's more distractions of a superficial nature is what I mean, and that probably causes people to focus on the wrong things sometimes.

I guess it's much easier to spend two hours scrolling on social media, I don't mean me I don't have any, than it is to spend that time in stillness and quiet self-reflection to uncover thoughts, feelings and emotions that might make a difference to life, our own or others. I prefer the latter and am fortunate to be in a relationship with a man who feels the same.

This morning over our usual Saturday breakfast in the garden at home that very same man reached over the table, placed his hand over mine and said the nicest things to me about how cherished I was then continued on to list why.

He talked about support, the way I stand up for him and beside him no matter what but hold him accountable for his actions and thoughts. He spoke about my "tireless efforts", work ethic, drive and consistency, and the way I get on with things when they need doing. I don't want to say everything he said because it's personal and may seem immodest but will say that I was, and am, so grateful to have a man who is comfortable to express himself in these ways. It's manly, sexy and responsible.

In a world full of noise, misdirection, distraction and superficiality I believe a person with the ability to be expressive, openly and honestly, is an attractive and valuable trait.

We continued to chat over a second cup of coffee and talk moved away and to other things I felt so content and happy in that place and time and that the two of us seem to fit like pieces in a jigsaw - individuals that fit so well.

Here's another Saturday Selections installment, one of a series of posts in which I share some music I've been listening to. I know you won't like everything I select and that's ok, it's my selection after all.

If you like music and want to share some with the rest of us you're free to do so and maybe you'll even help someone find some music they haven't already discovered. If you wish to use the #saturdayselections tag in the #weekendexperiences community that's ok too.
