Women & Men

I saw the video below on my friend's FB page on Mother's Day. I laughed and shared it on my FB wall. But more importantly, I was grateful for it.

In general, I like to believe I understand men. I like them. I have fun with them. They make me laugh. They make me cry. They make me crazy. Most of the guys I know aren't the lugs portrayed in the mass generalizations.

A long time ago, an enlightened guy friend told me he puts events away in boxes in his head.

Really? 

I don't have a box. I don't compartmentalize. I just keep thinking and adding to the mayhem that is already swirling around in my head.

Even before I watched the video, the Grateful Dead song "Box of Rain" represented the putting away of "stuff" in a guys head to me. 
(You have figured out by now it always comes down to a song, right?)

It doesn't mean I understood the box(es), but I needed the visual. 

I will never have a box. 

The video proves it.

Here's to the differences between men and women. 

Long may we try to "get" each other.

A box of rain will ease the pain,
And love will see you through.
(Isn't it ALWAYS about the love?!)
