CHANGES-!!

What a different start to the new year. I have lost my very good friend from high school. She is in peace now and not suffering. Those who cared for her can finally breath and start living again. That is not in my opinion a negative thing to say. Her wusband went above and beyond what anyone would ever expect from an ex spouse. Danny has to be one of the nicest people in the world with so much patience. It was not easy for him. We spoke and texted every day. His sanity factor on most days. Now he is back working in his high stress job without the added burden of caring for an out of control and demanding person he used to love and cherish. He never skipped work if he could help it. The job is just all consuming with his boss not the most understanding individual in the world. He said all his alanon meetings helped him deal with his boss of 35 years and Nancy's out of control alcoholism.

My new boyfriend and I are going strong. We sure weren't looking for this but we found it in the most unlikely place. On a motorcycle run to Naples. He met me while I was being harassed from my ex-boyfriends girlfriend. Not the prettiest of times in my life. He now sees what I meant by my life is very non drama and I am a total homebody. At first I wasn't interested. He has pursued me and had no clue why. I am not his type. I am artsie. I am independent and strong willed.
He is giving me a buddy pass to go up for the Memorial service sometime this month.
He is newly divorced and has young kids. The ex and kids live in Iowa. Not someone I would ever give the time of day to. I don't do drama. His ex is remarried already. We both hate shopping, have no desire to get married again. He is so caring and nurturing. I told him not to throw Gods gift back at him. I have been alone for 8 years except for friends. No real relationships like this.
I am not used to or have ever met anyone like him. He is a few years younger. He said he was going to look for a younger woman and go wild. He took one look at me and was hooked. So much for younger woman. I am not what he was looking for. Funny how life is sometimes.
I am looking for a job. My kids are doing really well. My ex is adjusting and from what I can tell making progress in a positive direction. He went running the other day. I hope he will get back in shape and start taking care of himself. We are getting along and talking for the first time in way too many years.

Time to redo my resume and email it out for a job with a hotel.

May 2010 be an awesome year.

So many wonderful things in your life now, so much to look forward to, also. Funny how we meet wonderful people when we least expect to.

I'm really happy for you. Our relationships are a gift. Exciting times. Like you, I'm very independent and this was so unexpected for me too. Enjoy!!
