Romantic Thoughts

What’s your definition of romantic?

Eh. I don’t dwell much on romanticism at the medium-old age of 67. Still, I do know what my caring spouse does that makes me feel loved and appreciated. He hits most of the love languages, too.

• He notices little things I do and tells me what a good job I’ve done.
• He picks up little things when he’s out that he knows I like—flowers, a book, a tasty treat, etc.
• He shows interest in my interests. I can’t tell you how much it touches me that he spots birds and tells me about them or takes an insect photo to upload on iNaturalist.
• He does many things to make my life easier or more pleasant, without me asking.

Yeah, Lee may be grumpy sometimes, but he’s a good guy, and quietly romantic.

I hope I do something he finds romantic!

PS: it rained a good bit today. In July! That led us to romantically sit on the new porch and listen to rain.
