So now that you have gotten the definition of contemplative. Here is my reasoning on why you need the full Merriam Webster treatment. The best where to see where someone is going in their journal is to read the definition of their feeling, with that being said here we go.
In the last two years and three months I have had some life changing experiences. I fell at the Fire Dept. sustaining a career ending injury, I lost my house due to the lack and fight for money with the Copley Twp. Trustees and their Administrator, I lost my Grand-Parents three days apart, I became sober, and I took steps to change my body (aka weight lose). After all this I have a great out look on life. CHANGE IS FOR THE BETTER!!!!
When I was 22 I met the man of my dreams a smart Canadian that I loved with my heart and soul. We were together for two years and we did almost every thing together. He was a model for a company out of Toronto and was in Akron, Ohio on a side line venture of his when we met at a local gay bar underneath a big tree on it patio. He was a very confident man and I was not but tried to be. He was the first man in my life to tell me I was hot and my response was "Dude there are allot hotter guys then me in this bar." and his response was "Shut up before you ruin the best thing that has ever happened to you in your life." That’s where my first real dating experience ever happened and we stayed together till he passed away at 27. (That is the short version long version to be discussed at a later time).
So the reason I am in the contemplative mood is, I met a guy this last week that made me think. Does God Put People in our lives a Second time, or with the same traits? I didn’t realize it until I read this guys Journal (on here) that he has some of the same traits. Trait number one he is good looking, Trait number two he is highly intelligent even though he doesn’t thing so, and Trait number three he is a writer and he journals, and Trait number four he is polite. I hope i'm not projecting and I hope he wants to get to know me because I want to know him.
Yours in Hope
