So true, and what makes one happy can change over time. When I was younger, it was easier to make me happy, but also easier to make me mad. Didn't take much, in either case. I'm not claiming to be more enlightened, more sophisticated, or more intelligent at my advanced age, but I do know now, more than ever, what is important to me, what my priorities are, what makes me happy - really happy. I also don't get mad over the small stuff, and I take the big stuff in stride and focus more in solving problems than getting pissed off about things I can't control. I also know how rare true, lasting happiness is. I appreciate it more now than I did when I was younger and also get great satisfaction making those who matter to me happy. The Buddhists believe that to experience true happiness, you must first experience true sadness. I'm not sure if I buy into that 100%, but my girlfriend and I both suffered through long, unfulfilling marriages. In both cases, it wasn't always bad, but had grown progressively, and steadily, worse over the years, until it just became intolerable. The older you get, the harder it is to change (as they say, you can't teach an old dog new tricks). It was easier to get caught in life's inertia and just unhappily accept the status quo rather than risk the unknown and force a change. It was hard for both of us, but I am especially proud of my girlfriend. She took the bull by the horns, and took the steps necessary to allow get out of a bad situation and eventually find happiness. She has gone through a LOT of significant changes over the last year - the divorce is just one. She has also changed jobs and moved to another state. Voluntarily changing jobs, walking way from a secure position at 49 in this economy takes guts. But she did it and I'm proud of her and happy for her. BNM
So you screwed up, she won't let you be a kept man anymore, and you're stuck finding a job. I got the story straight?
She has something "extra special" planned for this weekend. Oh, man...this is the gift that keeps on giving!!
There's nothing quite like getting into the "Holiday spirit" with someone you love very much. Just wow.
Funny, Denny. Actually, it appears like a very special night on the town. Oh, and next Saturday, she's taking me to see The Nutcracker in Seattle. Never have seen that. Should be very festive and entertaining.
Nah, it's cool. I've probably been a bit too open in here about my relationship with her. That said, I'm extremely blessed to have found her. Thanks.
Some fresh Copper River salmon, Gooey Ducks and some Raaaaaaaaaaineeeeeeeeeerrrrrr Beeeeeeeeeerrrrr to wash it down with. Put some dip in your lip, slap her in the ass and introduce him to your buddy Buzz with the glass eye.
No kidding. When we french, I love cramming my tongue between those two missing teeth near the back her her mouth. If I hit the socket(s) just right, it sends her wild. She claims it's one of her erogenous zones. Gotta love it.
