In one of my first blogs I mentioned that I had asked this guy if he was single and when he replied he was if he'd like to meet me for a coffee. He very nicely turned me down. Well this morning I happened to be talking to a colleague of his who has been a friend of mine for 3 years. I happened to mention this and he asked me to describe the guy to him---so I did. He smiled and told me the reason the guy turned me down was because he's gay. He also said the guy would have seen what I did as a compliment because this guy has low self esteem and what I did would have boosted his confidence. At least some good has come out this and my own self esteem has been boosted knowing that the reason for being turned down wasn't anything personal. I still like this guy but now as a friend rather than in terms of a relationship.
I'm fortunate enough to live where there is countryside on one side of me and seaside on the other side of me. I have the choice of where I walk. I can find peace in both places and from time to time see sun rises and sun sets. Isn't it funny how when I was younger I never appreciated the beauty of my surroundings like I do now. We sure do change as we get older. Enjoy your evening everyone.
A friend on facebook posted this joke. It made me laugh so I thought I'd share it with you.
A cardiologist died and was given an elaborate funeral. A huge Heart covered in flowers stood behind the casket during the service.
Following the eulogy, the heart opened, and the casket rolled inside. The heart then closed, sealing the doctor in the beautiful heart forever.
At that point, one of the mourners burst into laughter. When all eyes stared at him, he said, "I'm sorry, I was just thinking of my own funeral...I'm a gynecologist".
The proctologist fainted.
Well I've had a busy week work wise and now have 2 days off. Last Thursday I went into work to do my mid-day to 9 pm shift and was asked to go home again and then come back to do a 4.30 to 2 am shift. As it turned out I'm glad this happened otherwise I would have missed a phone call. My daughter phoned me to let me know that she had been admitted to hospital. She had had an ectopic pregnancy and had to stay in hospital for a couple of days. She phoned again last night and is now out of hospital and resting. Her husband is taking good care of her. She is coming back to this country next month so I will be able to see her. I am so looking forward to seeing her again. What happened to her certainly puts things in perspective. There are more important things in life than material goods. I was lucky with my pregnancies with my 2 children. I count my blessings that I have them. Yes work is hard but my family are more important to me than my job. At the end of the day you will always have family, jobs will come and go.
