I totally agree since I have fallen into the above categories during much of my life due to abuse starting at a very young age. Only through guidance and management of those negative aspects of our lives can we progress to a place of better health, and better coping skills (in my humble opinion.)

Mood: Treaty.. not tricky :)

Make sure all your children that participate in Halloween, have fun, but most of all, stay safe~

Mood: sad, leary, and disappointed

After recently dealing with this issue, and feeling the toll its taken on me emotionally and physically, I realize that my coping skills in this area are lacking.

I've taken much needed space from this person, and still, after recently seeing her and feeling the internal response, I know I'm still not ready to enter back into the friendship, especially as it was.

I feel like the trust in our friendship has been broken, the respect lost, and I am feeling numb in her presence. Not a good thing to happen after a lifetime of friendship.

The toll of not being able to say no when I needed to, the toll of a friend taking advantage of both myself and my husband, the lack of her taking responsibility, just may have all been too much to overcome, in a short time.

A lot of work in counseling will need to be done, and even then, right now, I'm doubtful this relationship will ever be what it was before all this happened.

The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is to love and be loved in return.

I've always found time to teach them.

Listening to: A Moment Like This

A MOMENT LIKE THIS (Kelly Clarkson)

If I told you it was all meant to be,
Would you believe me
Would you agree
It's almost that feeling that we met before
So tell me that you don't think I'm crazy
When I tell you love has come here and now

A moment like this
Some people wait a lifetime
For a moment like this
Some people search forever
For that one special kiss
Oh I can't believe it's happening to me
Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this.

Everything changes but beauty remains
Something so tender
I can't explain
Well I may be dreaming but till I awake
Can we make this dream last forever
And I'll cherish all the love we share

A moment like this 
Some people wait a lifetime
For a moment like this
Some people search forever
For that one special kiss
Oh I can't believe it's happening to me
Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this

Could this be the greatest love of all
I wanna know that you will catch me when I fall
So let me tell you this
Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this

Some people wait a lifetime
For the moment like this
Some people search forever
For that one special kiss
Oh I can't believe it's happening to me
Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this

Oh Oh like this

Oh Oh Oh Oh
Some people search forever, oh yeah yeah
Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this
Oh like this

Crazy dog antics

Enjoy the clip~

cut and color, and not liking the new color so that will be changed in 3 weeks or so, lol. I like it more blond and this is a little too reddish for me. As long as hubby likes it, I'll deal with it!

Then on to womens group where we all try to build our circle of trust and build better relationships. Some wonderful women all working through some tough life issues. Nice to have a safe place to work on things.

Hope you are all having a good Saturday~

Mood: Thankful for THIS day~

Mood: things that scare you on Halloween...

I will provide a link to the infamous "Legend of Sleepy Hollow" should you care to read it. After Halloween, I will delete this link. Enjoy it while you can~

Mood: so in love

it is proving to be quite an undertaking ... as was, and is our unconventional love and romance. So many years apart in age, so close in spirit and love. Every day I am in awe of this union and you will often hear me say, "Its good to know that God has a good sense of humor putting the two of us together!" Smiling while I write about us, shedding a tear now and then, blushing, and also feeling sorrow for some of the hardships I bring to him with regard to my health, and his family not accepting me. We've been together 8 years now. You would think by now they would understand we are not a 'fly by night relationship' but totally committed to one another.

I will continue this endeavor as time and my spirit allows me.

Mood: and losing some of my present precious moments
Listening to: my heart

Mood: vulnerable, yet hopeful

waiting for the news about my aunt, and thinking about my injured son and what advice I can offer him that might help. Still, I am humbled by the Grace of God, and an online friend who helps me.

Mood: I am humbled by my friends' generosity

Mood: at peace in this moment
