of coming up and reminding you that life is good. 
For a long time now I have not felt the feelings that a woman should. As many of you know, I do not have the best home life. My WH does not now, nor has he ever treated me as a sexual being other than for his own pleasure. This is wrong in so many ways that I can’t count them all.
A partnership is just that… a 50/50 relationship where giving and receiving is 100% shared in all things. It does not take much to please me. I am not prissy or a girly girl. I just expect to be treated as any woman does, with respect. We all need to be shown that we are desirable without the baloney that can come from a man that thinks only of himself.
There are no stimulating conversations of any kind in this household. It is mostly listening to ranting and raving. Nothing pleasant or life revealing is ever heard. Most of the time I retreat into my own little world to block out the unpleasantness that I am surrounded with.
A simple phone call on Sunday reminded me that life is good, pleasant and for me it was life revealing. Hours of conversation fed my mind and opened up a part of me that is usually shut away. I was reminded that I am a woman and as such, a needed entity in this world. I was fussed at for doubting it. I laughed along when my southern drawl got the best of me. I fussed a little back for the same self-doubts when they arose. I was satisfied on different levels from a voice many miles away.
Satisfaction can come in many forms… and I was fed the best of them. Caring, concern, comfort and playful banter. Tenderness for a friend and soul searching are still feeding my mind. I am still smiling from conversation shared over 24 hours ago. They will continue to feed me long into the following weeks to come. I opened up a small part of me, saw a new side of myself and I will never regret it. Am I greedy for wanting more? Maybe, but a light burns forth now with blazing curiosity.
Thank you for feeding my mind and my heart.
Thank you for being a friend I know I can count on.
Thank you for caring about my life and it’s future.
Thank you for all that you are, and what you do daily for many.
Thank you for opening up that part inside of me that burns for more.
Thank you from my heart to yours.
A simple phone call can change much for someone far away. Who have you called lately and more importantly, who could use a simple phone call from you today?
