How nice to quote ÑMÑyÑáÑpÑyÑ|

The essence of all art is to have pleasure in giving pleasure. - Mikhail Baryshnikov

I had a hard day after having a kind of stand-off with my husband. I won't call it a fight, yet I know, for both of us, it was damaging like having had one. I regret making an issue of my needs at this point . I'm on the sexual upswing while he's exhibiting the nearing mid-life male counterpart. It's no wonder we don't communicate on the topic effortlessly. Even when I want to talk about it frankly, I cover with gobs of euphimism!

So, is it coincidence that I find myself grabbing the Baryshnikov quote? Of course not. Like Harrison Ford, whom I adored in my teens and twenties, Mishka has reached an age that I wish I could abhor. Yet the charm, scoundrel-lovely looks of these fantasy men still work for me on a lot of levels. I'm getting older too.

I was simply trying to point out to my husband that I wanted his attention on me. I think I had specific things in mind. He couldn't get my drift - I don't want to think he was but just didn't WANT. That's worse. Unfortunately, could be closer to the truth.

*SIGH*
