So....after tomorrow we are pretty much officially halfway through 2010.

Time flies!

So...how has this year been for you so far? What's new? How's life? Work? Love?

And, um...how are those New Year Resolutions coming along?

In short...how YOU doin'?

Hmmmmm

About this time last year I met who I thought was the woman of my dreams.
Excerpt from letter to her:
I acknowledge that I ran full steam stupid gallop ignoring my welfare into the relationship wearing blinders to all that did not fit (hence nasty bleeding infected chafing sores on my heart)
I think that I or something caused you to slam on the brakes and, in protective mode, closed your heart
Needless to say relationship is done. I have issues, she has issues. I (in love with grand hopes) ignored her issues (which she really needs to face, but has incredible "control" / "I am a strong independent woman" issues). She is incredible and has incredible potential.
Gently (yeah right, this bites ) working on salvaging relationship as friend (we both have grown from knowing each other).

FCW..... hmmmmm
I think no one could compare (she set the bar darn high)
I need to recover, but solitary rehab (back surgery) confinement bites.
AAAAAAAARGH!

I am getting used to being retired, sort of looking for a second career. Love life is wonderful, still dating an eh match I met in September and things just seem to be getting better. So now I am just waiting to see what develops. Sorry about the back surgery rehab, BTDT, hope it goes as well as mine did four years ago. Being alone during that time sucks, luckily two of my kids were around to help.

On-again/off-again relationships...blah blah blah.

But you know what? I am having the most fun as a single dad, raising my 3 kids. My oldest just graduated HS with high honors, and he starts college in a scant couple of months. So all in all, life is grand.

Do I miss a close relationship to share in this fun time with? You bet I do. Does it slow me down? Not in the least. I take all of this time to look back over my faults in the past and strive to improve upon them, if not outright correct them.

In a sense, I'm an Aisle-9 guy...I go through life, living it as fully as possible, until I bump buggies with that wonderful lady on Aisle-9...it's just that it seems neither of us have frequented the same store at the same time yet for that to happen .

I don't recall making any new years resolutions...thank God! I am getting way too old for that once a year promise. Halfway through 2010? Wow!

I just realized the other day that I have been in relationships with men for my entire adult life. 2010 has been the longest stretch that I've been alone. I think I needed this time for me. I can't honestly say that I'm thrilled with not having sex with a man, but the baggage that has gone with it in the past is something I don't miss.

My career is in good shape and I have a few new ventures that I am embarking on. I love my home and gardens, my children and my dog. My health is good and my spiritual life is rich. I am in the process of recovering emotionally from my divorce. I think I'm going to survive it as long as I continue to refuse his requests for sex. I think that would be a huge step backwards that I need to avoid. Give me strength!

Here's to 2010 part 2 !

This time also marks two years since separation from my ex-husband and looking back, I'm amazed at how quickly time has flown. My son is getting ready to start his senior year in high school and I'm ambivalent about my one and only chick that much closer to leaving the nest...

No New Year's resolutions for me -- that is generally a recipe for failure and besides, that's just an arbitrary date on the calendar anyway..

I've got a lot of things to be really grateful for, and I feel like I'm in a pretty good place in my life. Even though the dating relationships I've had so far this year haven't worked out, I don't regret any of them and I'm glad for the experience.

Not doing too bad...hey at least I'm not nearly dying in a hospital like last year LOL. Got a new boss for the last few months...one of the greatest bosses ever....can't complain about that.

Knock on wood....this can get even better if my gamble (oops i mean investing lol) with a particular stock pays off...

Love yes: I have a new love of my life right now....taking care of my friend's cat. She's a little tease though....won't even respond when I call her, but as I'm walking away, then she starts purring....coming after me and rubbing my legs.. (phew..I tell ya...cats are like women sometimes )
