That someone

When my phone beeps and it's a message from my man I usually smile.

I say usually because sometimes it's a simple message asking me to pick up something at the market on the way home, that his flight home is delayed or some other such thing. Not that I mind picking up a last-minute item at the supermarket, just that it's a smile-worth type of text message. He always puts a nice word or two on there though, or a few X's to signify kisses he'll give me later.

He's been travelling for work a lot lately, a byproduct of his work and the time of year, and it seems he's always just about to travel, outbound travelling, working away or travelling home; it's not always but it feels like it.

This time he managed to send me some music and it's those text messages I always love and which make me smile. They start with, "I love you girl, listen to this."

On his latest work trip I received one each day and the last was the Bryan Adams song below. The other two are tracks we listened to together during this week, just music that was playing in the background like a soundtrack.

One of the lines is, "once in your life you find someone who will turn your world around, bring you up when you're feeling down..." For me, my guy was that someone and he does that every single day in so many small and thoughtful ways such as his song text messages. I'm a lucky girl.

Here's another Saturday Selections installment, one of a series of posts in which I share some music I've been listening to. I know you won't like everything I select and that's ok, it's my selection after all.

If you like music and want to share some with the rest of us you're free to do so and maybe you'll even help someone find some music they haven't already discovered. If you wish to use the #saturdayselections tag in the weekend experiences community that's ok too, it's a free space to do as you wish.
