Hello Everyone! Okay, a show of hands, who has missed me?? Ohhh, you can do better than that! I've missed being here but life has been really hectic as of late. Life is always changing, we never stay the same even though we might not feel the change. I have a new position at my job; I've moved from workers' compensation rep to precert rep. There has been a lot of working over, going in to work early, & short lunches but it's all been worth it. I love the office I work at and I have amazing people that I work for and with. The past couple of weeks we have pulled together as a team united in one purpose and it has been awesome!
I've been able to visit with my daughter a couple of times and see the two youngest of her children. How I love them! And, as an unexpected treat, I'm going to visit with my oldest granddaughter shortly. There's no love like the love of family. Through happiness, sorry, joy, sadness the bond is always there. My kids & grands are scattered about but when we see each other, it's like there's been no time apart.
Yes, indeed, family is wonderful but on the flip side, when the visits are over and I have to face coming back to my home all alone, it hurts. Yes (sorry) I'm in that kind of mood this evening; feeling lonely and empty. How I long for a companion, someone to share my life with. "It's not good that man should be alone." So why am I?
I'm not asking for Prince Charming with his perfect white teeth....heaven knows I'm not Cinderella, but a good man who is honest, loving, faithful and makes me laugh, feel secure and accepts me for who I am.
Love is not always about fairy tales...real relationships have real issues to deal with. At the age of 40 and up, we all carry with us a certain amount of baggage or maybe even a little travel bag, but we have it....at our age how could we not? None of us are perfect and we shouldn't expect perfection from others. There is the issue of blending families, learning to live with another person and knowing how to compromise. If there are children involved we have to make sure they are included in the decision to bring two separate families together to make one.
This is all for now....will write more later. <heart>
