Been going with a great healthy lady for bout 9 months...45 minutes away...spend an evening...and Sundays together...and as a mutual thing..thats not going to change for a long time..Shes not in the program...and does not NEED someone in her life....but shares that its nice to HAVE someone in her life...

Whole different ball game for this kid...had to unhook and park the uhaul trailer...:)

This beautiful lady (inside and out) gave me a breathtaking diamond ring on the weekend...

And yu know what? I'm still choked up over it...

Another day....Just wanted to share....have a good one!!

Sounds like it's time to move on to better things.

I agree with StPeteDean - don't let people/places and things from the past stop you from doing what is right in your heart.  Higher power works in very mysterious ways - some times.

That's beautiful Phil. How wonderful, you've finally met someone who gives without expectations, who gives without taking and taking and taking from you. And mostly, how wonderful that you can so openly be accepting of all this knowing there's nothing to be suspicious of--because it's all done in love. big hugs chris

  I have the same train of thinking.   I think I read something by Ralph Marsten that we think the direction we are going is going to continue in a straight line of ("not good stuff'' ) will repeatedly happen to us.  It is up to us to realize that we need to retrain our thinking.  Life doesn't go in a straight line.   We need to think that life doesn't go in that straight line.   That things can be different, or good again.
  Well, as I said I am still trying to master that train of thinking....Got to get to work on it!
      They say we go  where we are looking.  ( I better change the scenario in my mind! )
