A blustery night ahead


I am listening to the weather forecast on the radio.
They say it’s going to be a blustery night.
I like blustery nights, always have. Lying under a warm duvet, listening to the wind howl, the rain batter the glass of the rattling windows.
A strange thought flitters through my mind: blustery nights are better, cosier when lying in bed with someone.
Strange because it’s been so long but strange also because after all it makes no difference, although knowing that responsibility and decisions can be shared, delegated is a comforting thought.
Again this takes me by surprise as I have been the decision-maker for such a long time I cannot (and do not allow myself to) linger on what it’s like when more people are involved.
This has allowed me to walk forward rather than dwell on things, but it’s another brick in the wall, I know.
