My freedom
A guy I know
told me yesterday
the longest
he'd ever been single
was six months.
That blows me away.
The last time I was single it lasted six years.
This time,three years,two months,and four days.
I'm not counting.
That's just the fact.
Better than making a mistake.

Aww, Jo, you need someone to give you all you deserve! I think you are a wonderful person, and I hope your love finds you soon.
That's interesting about the guy, because I have a girlfriend who always finds a replacement before severing a relationship so that she's never left single. I don't think that's a healthy approach.
Thanks Heather. ;-)
Chicky Babe, I'm with you on that. How can one go into a relationship so quickly?
I'd be so afraid to choose the wrong person and get stuck!
Not to mention - what about time for emotional healing before embarking on another relationship?
Mr Fab, Really?
A thing is for sure: the newest generations had the possibility to play far more than in oldest generations and it's proofed that develops the intellect and sentiments. By other side, that play doesn't mean children became less naive, no, so the problem now is the sensibility that is achieved with all those "protections" and we tend to have more and more time available to start thinking a lot on ourselves, with a little to much introspection.
I know what I mean...
I say to myself that I don't count days but, in fact, I count them, since my father gone, for example...
Sandra and me are together since 15 years, with 13 of engagement and 2 of marriage.
You will find someone with a gentle giant personality, you'll see.
But I agree with you 100% in the concerning to stuckness and being unhappy at the same time
(meanwhile why don't you listen a little bit of "Gentle Giant"?)
Gtx, Can there be too much introspection?
I guess I'd be guilty of that if it's true.
The only way I could see a problem with that is if one isn't truthful with themself.
I'm truthful with myself I believe.
My life experiences have made me more cautious but I don't think overly so.
As to finding someone. I'm not so sure.
Thanks for your musical suggestion. It can't hurt!
Never meant to condescending (you're mature)
But, in this crazy world, who knows for sure a thing?
Most probably as you I hate to be alone. I been trough some periods of my life that indeed make me feel like been quite right at the time, years past and by looking back not so quite right, and so on.
In that perspective, life is long (and somehow we use to remember so clearly the things that had hurt us) so we must try the joy, and the rest? We leave it for those sure income days in which we feel badly.
(wish I were positive as Termoman - UK, or a little dumber.)
And after all you still have all of us, blog friends.
:o=)
I seem to understand "StrawHouses"
Gtx,
You're not condescending. I don't see you that way. I look forward to your input.
Actually, I'm known as someone that smiles all the time. Usually no one knows when I am sad.
Life has tested me and tested me hard. I don't give up . I do still have joy and optimism.
I'm not being cynical when I say I doubt that a love will come to me at the right place and time. It just seems very unlikely to happen. I don't rule it out but I also don't mold my life around waiting for it to happen.
Yes, being less intelligent might be easier. Would it be as interesting? I don't think so.
I am grateful to you and all my blog friends for being so open and honest with me. I promise I never forget.
I should get you and my daughter together, Jozee! She's been a single mom now for over 3 years. She's finding that the men she dates don't have the staying power or the "ability" to move ahead with commitment. She's had to let go of so much of her hope and just let it happen, if it ever does. But she's so young (33) to be thinking it might take a long time,if ever! Sigh.
Ginnie,
I can relate to what Amy's experiencing. Hopefully she lives in a more urban area than I do - with a greater pool of men to draw from. She is young and it's likely that there are still eligible unmarried men out there.
In my case, I live in a college town with very few eligible men. I am also now considerably older. 48 year old men just aren't available.
I do understand her frustration. Being a single mommy is a difficult row to hoe.
Unfortunately, I made a serious relationship mistake and jumped into a seven year odyssy with the wrong choice out of frustration.
It's much better to be alone and in charge of your own life no matter how difficult.
My mom was an invaluable resource to me and loved my daughters as her own.
Thankfully, I had her love and guidance when my girls were in their formative years.
I know how lucky Amy is to have your's and Donica's support.
I will put some thought energy into this for you.
Your daughter and grandson are beautiful people and deserve nothing but the best!
Love this modified picture of you ! Happiness comes from within, it has nothing to do with whether your with someone or not ! :)
Absolutely !
Glad you like the pic. It was made for me by my friend Henri Banks.
