As I sit here having some troubled thoughts about my life in general, I have come to a realization of that the driving force behind what keeps me going is the shear fact of a small word, and act called HOPE. During Good times and bad, in acceptance and rejection, during peace and arguments, I always look ahead and forward with HOPE for what is ( Read more... )

Once again I am confronted with the fact that I, as well as the rest of my family is aging. It just drives home how much it is important to enjoy life. How not to miss out on the moment at hand. To grab hold of that which you enjoy and makes you happy. I consider myself to be pretty much of a free spirit, and yes I know sometimes that can be ( Read more... )

Well our birthday vacation has come to an end. WE are sitting here in the Portland Airport in Oregon waiting for our plane to arrive to take us home to Colorado. We had a great time here, and met up with old friends as well as made some great new friends. Chris danced with me on Friday night at C.C. Slaughters, and Saturday we met up with a ( Read more... )

Therefore I took him ( Read more... )

I do not understand how this bar stays open. For their saturday night beer bust we were the only ones there along with the owner and his dog. We toured the interior so I could tell ( Read more... )

Question to self? When does ones desire for social freedom, equal that for home relationship complacency? I continue in my quest to become more social so that I feel like I am complete and belong within this crazy world in which we live. At the same time I also crave just the homebody moments of sitting and communicating with my partner doing ( Read more... )

Here lately I so lack energy, substance, inspiration. I am happy, content, accomplished. But I cannot find the energy within me to motivate me to get my ass off of the couch to do chores much less then to even maybe go out to do anything fun. The corner of the couch has become my haven of comfort. Yesterday I managed to get myself up to make a ( Read more... )

We have such a weakening economy, and are seeing an increase number of people unable to pay for their health care, that change is happening within the health system. All those abundance of meetings that once were the standard and the routine, and helped designate you as an engaged employee are going to the side. They still take place but not as ( Read more... )

I am a college educated person, and for some reason I am having some difficulty with the concepts and strategies of communication. Lately I cannot seem to figure out how to communicate that I am not presenting myself as the victim, end up feeling like the victim, or having the other person present or feel like the victim. It is very frustrating ( Read more... )
