The confession booth is open. What do you need to confess? Or, tell us something about you that we probably wouldn't guess!
I'll confess that I'm OCD. It's not easy to live with. I've done better over the years, but there's is a certain place for everything in my home. Don't move it or you'll screw up my entire day!

There's something to be said for Mother nature and being in the presence of the beauty of mountains that one could see as far as the eye can see. The trip up and back was mostly winding roads in and out; and, around mountains and hills; but never-the-less, I enjoyed every moment there. There was just something about being there.... it was peaceful and tranquil.... It was breath taking....
The town of Wilmington, VT, itself, is pretty much made up of privately owned stores and restaurants.... "Mom and Pop" stores.... The town was busy with tourists and bikers; but, there was still a certain peace to it all.... Everything seemingly "time capsuled" to keep it's "uniqueness".... Even the local Shaw's hasn't caught up with the times. No big hotel or motel names; just local people trying to make a living from the abundance of tourists that Wilmington attracts.
We waited in line quite a while to get the boat into the water; and, then we waited some more! It was worth the wait! We got out on the water and I was given a tour around the 10 mile lake. Beautiful ledged shore lines; people docking pretty much anywhere they desired. Small islands here and there.... canoes; kyackers; sailboats; skiers and jet skiers.... They were all there! We pulled into a cove and anchored; swam ashore and spent the afternoon there. We had the opportunity to see a parade of sailboats that one just couldn't resist watching as we chatted and laughed.... spoke about life, love and relationships.
During my tour of the lake, we passed "The Ledges".... I'd never been to "The Ledges", but have heard a lot about it from friends. The Ledges? A "nudist" colony for nude bathers. I had different expectations and thoughts of a nudist colony. It was just a group on nude men and women sunbathing on the Ledges and enjoying each others company in the nude! Bare-bottomed and topless.... I anticipated that I'd feel differently.... I wasn't inhibited nor uncomfortable.... Just part of being comfortable in your own skin and being "free". There's a lot of controversy surrounding Wilmington and nudity.... I did come to appreciate what it means to them.
A picture perfect day and visit to Wilmington, VT!My trip to Wilmington, VT came to an end. What a way to end a few days off! I couldn't see enough of the scenery or breath in enough of the fresh air or take in enough of the town itself. It was absolutely beautiful!
We've all been there.... We're dating someone; things seem perfect or as near to perfect as we've ever dreamed. Then, it happens. We've been lied to.... There's someone else. Who woulda thought? I sure as hell didn't.
Our relationship moved fast; really fast, but that's what he wanted. The calls; the dates; meeting his family. Then the bomb dropped.... I caught talking to another woman on my phone.... He lied about it.... Said it was a male friend; but, it just seemed odd that he'd hang up so quickly. I went to my Comcast acount; called the number and found out it was another woman he'd met online and had been talking to at least ever since I'd met Mark. Although, he cried and said he had deep feelings for me, it all tumbled in that very moment. He's called since our break up, which is going on 6 weeks now, but once a man has lied to you, it isn't the same. I'm not sure it'll ever be the same.
Today is a difficult day for me. I miss him; yes I do. I know time will get me through the grieving process, but it does hurt right now. It came without notice; I had no idea and thought we were as close as any man and woman could be.... He cried when he left that day; I did, too. Yes, I can forgive him. Forgiving him helped him; not me. We all make mistakes, but if they're intentional mistakes; if they are untruths that are purposefully done.... I'm not so sure that we every truly can forgive someone for intentionally breaking our hearts.... I told him that I forgave him; but, "we" will never be the same.... I don't look at him the same way; I don't feel the same way.... I'm not sure how long it will take to get back on my feet, but dayumn, will someone slap me silly and tell me to get with the program!
