Writers Workshop: Profound Innocence

With prompting from Mamma Kat… I have decided to go with the following:
1.) Describe your significant other's most attractive quality (on the inside)

I don't know what it is about my wife— but there are times that she can make a statement about something that is apparently obvious that I find most endearing. Every now and then I hear her exclaim things like: "I have feet!"… or even: "I'm moving without moving!". It is not so much the statement itself— but the conviction that she uses when she says them that I find so great. It's as if she discovered something for the first time and needs to exclaim it to the world to make sure that they know that she knows.

The statements themselves are innocent enough… but then you realize just how profound she can be without even trying. This profound innocence is something that shows the depth and beauty of her that I always found fascinating to which I cannot help but smile every time she does.

How sweet and thoughtful you are to notice the little things about her.
Sometimes I just watch Mr. C and smile. He may catch me and say what are you smiling at? I just say I enjoy watching you be you!

Great job! It's so neat that you know WHO she is, and WHAT she is about! Most guys would look at her with that RCA dog look, and say "huh?"!

Cute post!
