I saw Marty while waiting for the elevator on the 15th floor. He warmly greeted me with a good big hug. We got in the elevator together. As the elevator closed, he reached over, touched my hair, lightly caressed my face, and looked at me with that sweet look, which reminded me of how my husband used to look at me. Then, he backed off and said, “I am sorry.” I calmly smiled at him and said, “You can touch and admire me all you want, but you know I don’t feel it.”
A powerful realization has come to me: NO ONE, doesn’t matter how enticing, how wonderful, how handsome, sweet, kind, loving, caring, understanding, smart, rich, powerful… can stands between me and my husband, EXCEPT MY OWN THOUGHTS or BELIEFS that I have about him. This is how powerful love is.

I think we sometimes fool ourselves into thinking that the grass is always greener on the other side. I’m starting to believe that it just means that we’re not appreciating what we’ve been given. When we pine for something we think we’re missing, we can never find it anywhere else–or with anyone else–it is always hidden inside us.
Happy Halloween nhe chi..
I think your friend Marty was just acting out the thought in his head–which was how much he missed your sweet face. When we feel real affection for people, friendly affection, we sometimes go ahead and reach out. It’s only later do we realize, we maybe crossed a boundary, inadvertantly. It was nice the way you handled it, because it didn’t shame him, or you. It was the way you said it, which says that while you didn’t take offense, you are solid in your love and commitment to your husband, so no other possibilities could be considered.
I missed your blogging–it is great to see you back again! So many wonderful things to say, too!
“You can touch . . . me all you want”
Well, I have no gut to say so to anyone.
Good insight. Judi
