Maybe I'm a different breed

        I always love visiting Colorado. It's my second home and I'm completely enamored.  Seeing my family and friends brings joy to my heart and light into my soul. While traveling on the airplane yesterday I overheard some interesting conversation between the passengers seated next to me and it really got me thinking.
         I was seated next to a woman who works for Fed-Ex. She was discussing her job and family life with the male passenger seated next to her. It was your average story, she travels a lot, blah, blah, blah. The part that caught me off guard was the subject of her husband. The male passenger mentioned that the fact that she was returning early would please her husband. She then revealed that while she lives in Colorado Springs, CO her job is a two hour commute. She only sees her husband on weekends and during the week rents an apartment closer to her job. I was baffled.
        Hearing this news was a little shocking. At first I thought man this lady is living the dream: personal time throughout the work week and time with her family/lover on the weekends. Where do I sign up? I'm a big fan of space. I not only desire time alone, for me it is a necessity. Yes I want a lover and a family but balance is key to everything.  However heartless and strange it may seem, to me this woman lives perfection.
         As my evening progressed my thoughts returned to this woman. I realized that I have never been in love with anyone. I believe in true love and I've seen it amongst my friends but it just hasn't happened for me. I know in my heart of hearts, no matter what others may tell me, I will NEVER feel the need to spend 24/7 with my love. It is not how I am programmed. After pondering this woman's life for far longer than I should focus on a stranger I came to the conclusion that it would be painful to only share my life with someone on the weekends.
         Life is about balance. Love is the most important thing in the world. A well balanced life requires a well balanced love. When it comes I will embrace it and it will embrace me and that will be my perfection.
