A child expects a real relationship and I've had to learn how to be an adult. God, I used to find existing so hard. Still do sometimes.
Thankfully, every notion I had, has been turned on its head. My life as a grown up is continuing..
Connections to others are blossoming because I look at people now in the eye and I listen, for no other reason then the fact that they are talking. My head is empty as they talk. No judgements.
When I can't do this I go to bed
and try again the next day.
I'm so humbled. Better late then never.
I'm so grateful for being body slammed by life. I really feel like I'm learning and I'm alive.
Bring on the next lesson ..I've got one knee off the ground, I'm ready.
I hope you have a powerful day today.

When I was living with my ex and his son, it was a direct and painful constant reminder of all my character defects.
There was so much joy and love as well.
Thank you for expressing it the way you did, I got a lot out of that.

I have my first work "thing" this afternoon. It's a goodbye party for someone who has worked there for years. Good opportunity for me to get to know some people. I wasn't going to go if I hadn't gotten the job for sure. Looking forward to it!

Congrats Marty! I am really pleased that something good has happened to someone who deserved it
I never knew Hicksville was in Ireland - always assumed it was in Norfolk
Was at work until a few minutes ago. Devilishly busy. Coming home to an empty flat this week. Meh!

Hey everyone. Good night SW and Sao.
On the train home. I need to start focusing on stuff rather than surfing the net. Mecanix was an inspiration this morning to change things up and then I got trapped. Grr.

Congrats on getting the job confirmation ML....
I put in a full day in the yard... and I'm beat... humping that tiller was real work...
still more to do... but the tiller is getting put back until next year - or later...
it seems late in the year to start planting - but it WAS below freezing several days last week... it's gonna be another one of those 40's to 80's in no time things...
have a good night all... I have to be a 'patient' tonight as part of a school assignment. Mrs has to perform an examination of me and video tape it... I had to sign a release from the college and all that jazz... legal stuff and they swear it will go no further than the prof evaluating the students...
I need a rest period... my bones are aching...

Hmm. No idea what a sympathy squirt is, Melina, but I'm pr-e-e-tty sure I'm squirt-free! LOL !! I'm probably so old that I've missed an entire wave of squirt-based slang!
Back for a couple mins before I head out for errands. I have to travel on Wed, and need a couple of things. I am feeling better than this morning. Whatever the bug, it seems to have a short life. Still not hungry tho.
