The first time I saw my fiance in his work uniform, (the first week we were officially dating, after having fallen in love over a period of almost 4 months as just friends) I instantly thought, omg, it's SUCH a good thing I didn't see him like this first, or I wouldn't have ever given him the time of day.

ouch...

Ok so I'm a hopeless, superficial snob... I was raised to put education and white collar professions at high value, not "the trades", and he is an electrician at a factory. (He is also the most spiritually conscious, intelligent, loving, expressive, articulate, affectionate, appreciative, peaceful, joyous man I've ever met outside of a personal growth course.)

Then there was the issue of his teeth... Since he was 25 he's had an almost full upper plate, having to have all but two? of his upper teeth pulled due to poor enamel. The first time I saw him take out his plate I almost literally ran screaming from the room.

MAJOR "Deliverance" moment!!

Yes I AM superficial... and it's awful... and I'm terribly sorry, but I have my limits. I am simply NOT wired to be attracted to some 5'2" 300 lb bald guy with bad teeth and bad skin.

Fortunately William doesn't have the same problem, because I am not anywhere near model potential myself. Since I got well, I now have a 12" scar on my abdomen, a "stoma", an ostomy bag sticking to my abdomen 24/7, my butt is sewn shut, and I went from a chronically ill size 6-8 to a healthy size 12.

He thinks I'm a perfect-bodied sex goddess.

Works for me!

"Resentment is like eating rat poison and waiting for the other person to die."

It sounds like YOU have some unresolved issues about her, and if you don't forgive her it's going to be on YOUR soul, that's untrusting baggage you're very likely to take into a future relationship. Here's your chance to do learn some forgiveness and be able to move on with your life.

(And maybe she wants to see you to apologize.)

Well, I got the letter in the mail today from the court... My divorce was final on September 7. Unfortunately, that is my ex's birthday, and it was on or around the same day that his two previous divorces were signed as well. Poor guy, I feel really sorry for him...

But I feel totally FREE now.

Nothing at the moment... but have a guaranteed job offer at a new massage business (ok stop leering, it's STRICLY PROFESSIONAL!!!) as a part time receptionist and Reiki practitioner. Should be up and running in a few months.

Plan to do that for up to the next four years, until my sweetie retires and we move southwest to somewhere where there is NO ice in the winter.

Then...

Whatever we want, I guess!

Two others I really found fascinating *attention Lori!* were The Tipping Point, about how slow moving trends suddenly take a huge turn through different kinds of movement of information, and Blink, by the same author, about how we process information in the blink of an eye, and what the implications are.

I haven't been into any heavy, theoretical reading since I left school MANY years ago, but I LOVED these, found them incredibly interesting.

It totally depends on how hard people are willing to work to make their differences not split them up -- respect, love, communication... all the same tools you need in any relationship, but to a greater degree.


What if..: click here to read the entire thread »

Recent absolute favorite book was The Time Traveler's Wife, extremely well written, and A Ship Made of Paper by Scott Spencer. I couldn't put either of them down.
