Is this it?

Mar 03, 2008 00:02

Okay, you all should know by now that I'm not a religious freak. I don't go around quoting the bible, or preaching on street corners. Heck, I'm not even the type of person to casually wish someone a "blessed day". But, having been raised Catholic, it's really hard to completely turn away from the Church ( Read more... )

religion, relationships

You'd be a hot nun, at least.

LOL... thanks, I think.

Ditto. And I'm glad to see I'm not the only person commenting on here.

You are definitely lovable. And you don't want to know how long MY current dry spell is. Let's just say I DEFINE born-again virgin. And I haven't given up, so there. :-Þ

You need to find ways to be comfortable with yourself. The fact that you are not is probably seeping through in your day-to-day dealings with people. If you don't love yourself, how can you expect anyone else to do so?

Concentrate first on finding some kind of fulfilling work. Doing what you love is a great way to meet people who love the same things.

And I would remind you that you were the one that made my first wenching a memorable experience.

Thanks John. :-)
"Concentrate first on finding some kind of fulfilling work." That is much easier said than done. Right now I'm ready to settle for WORK, let alone fulfilling work.

What is unsettling is that, just when I think I'm okay with myself, I start worrying, and questioning myself.

My big problem is that I don't have many opportunities to meet any new people, let alone, Men! I hop-e you are right... that I'll meet someone when I get a new job.

I am very flattered that your Wenching experience was memorable because of me.

Truth is, if we were 100 miles closer in distance, or 10 years closer in age, I'd be VERY interested. As it is, only somewhat . . .

Hi. I only know you from the GH community, but I wanted to pipe up and agree with markellynch. When I was your age, I settled and married "Mr. He'll Do/He's Close Enough" and while isn't wasn't the worst thing in the world I could have done, it was the worst thing in the world I did. If that makes sense. I divorced him and being single after that was how I really learned to live and figured out what I really wanted. At 39, I married THE most perfect person God could have ever placed on this earth for me ( ... )

For one; thank you for taking the time to share a bit of your private life with me. You didn't seem like a "downer" to me. I appreciate knowing that I'm not the only one who feels this way.

I am wondering what prompted you to post here. Not that I mind... I'm just wondering.

As far as going to church... I have recently moved to a new community, and have been wanting to at least touch base with the local church. One thing I try to do during Lent is go to Mass from Ash Wednesday, to Easter. What can I say... old habits die hard.

I am very sorry for your loss. It's really sad when the people who really want children, and would probably be amazing parents, cant have kids. Then, the people who should never have kids, are horrible parents, and have awful children, seem to have no problem making babies.

Maybe God has a plan for you to adopt a child who really needs you as their mom. I know that sounds sappy, and weird, but... you never know. I don't mean to offend, these are just my thoughts.
