Tonight on the way home, tired, achy from head to toe after such a long, long week, I remembered that I needed milk. Such a little thing... but how nice would it have been to have someone to call to say "Hey, Honey, can you pick up some milk?" Or how nice to open the door and find a face that lit up when I walked into the room. Someone to help me decide which rugs to buy for the kitchen. Some one to tell about the book I read today, the story I heard on the radio, the crazy patient of the day. Some one to massage my sore feet, to open the mail with, to discuss the events of today with, to laugh with, to plan tomorrow with. Someone to multiply my joys and divide my sorrows....
But I'm too old and too tired ...... and come Monday morning my feet will hit the floor at 6 a.m. and I'll face a new week running and won't have time to feel lonely .... or alone..... until next Friday night..... and Saturday night.... and all day Sunday...... but then... Thank Goodness for another Monday....
