Angie, my friend, it is so nice to see you back. You certainly have had a lot on your mind. Only you and your hubby really know what should and shouldn't be done...it's a decision I'm sure you both worked out for what is best. And, if it means letting your daughter deal with it and working it out, then that means it is time to do so.
I love the fact that you have a tiny kitten to care for and add to your furry friends. That kitty needed a good mama and now she has one. (I said "she" because that's what you said you think the kitten is.)
I like that you are back. I pray nothing keeps you away again unless, of course, there are good things that are the reason.
Yep, I learned this trick a while back and I've been weighing myself like that ever since! Now, if I can only figure how to take the scale to the moon once a week so I can weigh myself there! (Ohhh, the thought...I'd actually have to eat more to gain weight! lol)
You've given me another LOL post to read! I think the tricks sound like such fun...what laughs there must be!
Way too funny!
You have touched on something very dear to me...I read this almost every day. I believe in it so deeply and I have held it close since I first heard it. I know you posted it because it means something to you and I think that is very special...but you also made this post a personal favorite of mine by giving me those most beautiful of loving-one-another-from-deep-within words to read again.
Oh, you are just so overloaded with so many things to think about and reflect on, and you are tired from all the activity and emotions and, you are suddenly alone and your mind realizes it's time to have more of a real world than a dream world for awhile. No wonder you're not sleeping quite right...and then, when you really are sleeping, you can't seem to wake up or function properly. You're a woman in love and you want to be "in that place" so that even sleeping and working seem to float along. It needs to be controlled, I'm sorry to say...but it is understandably normal.
Do you know what is so nice about all of this? Well, what's so nice is that it ISN'T a dream! And, although there is nothing wrong with having a dreamy sleep, if you are sleeping (and dreaming) right now, you do want to wake up...because you don't want to miss not one moment of this! So, dream on, but...ahem...WAKE UP! Life and love are waiting, live it and enjoy it!
Do you really want me to put my feelings into words? But, I really can't because my reaction is the way that I feel about all of this...and the words just seem so redundatant and fall short of what I would hope to say. Maybe *HUGS*, maybe *JUMPING UP AND DOWN*, maybe a *GREAT BIG SMILE* might help to relay my feelings to you. And, finally, these>>>
Again, you had me chuckling all the way through. I love your posts. I loved it when I was in PA and was able to go to some amish stores...I like buying directly from people, from the source, if you know what I mean. That's also why I like farmer's markets around here. Anyways, it's almost funny that your husband ended up not getting his ice cream...it sort of proved your point and it's nice when the wife is right...as usual.
Here's another one I really love. It's not just saying wonderful things about you, but it's saying how you make him feel. Beautiful!
They just keep coming, don't they? It's like the waters of a fountain, always flowing and never, ever tiring to have around. Very nicely written.
These are very nice.
That is the sweetest, most flattering thing I've read in like forever! It's one of your favorites? Maybe the real favorite? Then, I sure do hope you are framing it...or making a copy to frame. It should be framed and hung near your bed or placed on a nice table somewhere. As the poems are collecting, keep them together, but do not hesitate to frame some, especially the ones like this one. This one truly is special.
Beautiful, absolutely beautiful.
Do you remember when you were being told/reminded by us to let go and move on? Well, it was hard...I think you will remember that...and, then, you did. It might have gotten easier because of the wonderful new person in your life, but you were moving on anyway...and you knew, deep down inside, that you really didn't want to go back to a life where you weren't going to be treated right, nor did you want to have that kind of a life again.
Now, the shoe is on the other foot. Your ex feels let down, mistreated, and is refusing to let go (for himself) and to let you go (mainly for himself, again)...but, he's got to somehow "get the message" that both of you will be better off if you each go your separate ways. It will be great if you can still be friends, but he's going to have to realize that it's going to be separate ways even if there is no friendship, so see if you can maybe get that point across. Tell him you are trying to be a friend, but if he's not going to act like one, then the friendship has to be over to. I know you don't want to do that, but it's called "tough love" (yeah, in a different sort of way), but it might have to be. Sometimes, after a person has no choice but to let go and move on...over time, they mellow a bit or "come around" a bit. You might end up being friends, anyway. Yeah, try to stay friends...but it's that promise of a friendship that he might be using as a means to hang on...to stay a part of your life...to make your "new" life not so wonderful. Be careful, he may be a contribution to unhappiness even in the life you've moved into, the one where he supposedly is not an equal partner (but he is finding a way to still be a part of it).
Now, the good part...hooray for a great Friday! Fun, fun, fun! And, romantic, too! Wow!
