I am a Happy Mom!!
My son is on a date at the moment & I am so very happy for him. It has been seven months since he & his girlfriend parted ways. He has been so lonely & sad,
it had me worried.
When he went out the door this evening he had a huge smile on his face. I am sooo hopping he has found the woman of his dreams.
What can I say...I want my son to be happy. And I want Grandkids to spoil as well!!
I was asked out on a date today. And I was so shocked & then the next words out of my mouth were, "No thank you"!!
I really did not know this guy very well & something deep down in my gut told me to "Run for your life"!
Here I am on a dating sight looking for
?? And what do I do, turn down a date!
I really don't know how to explain that gut feeling, but I learned a long time ago that I should listen to it. I really think I am a lost cause when it comes to men.
Today my son came to the kitchen as I was fixing a nice lunch for us & said "Ok Mom, are you buttering me up for something??"
I guess he has gotten used to the blue mood I was in for so long that he had forgotten what it is to see me smiling & laughing!!
I explained to him that I have picked myself up & not letting all the "Bad" stuff keep me sad anymore. Needless to say we had a great lunch, laughing & talking about the good times. I guess I never saw that my mood was so upseting to my son. He is an adult & I never thought that he "saw" how sad I was for so long. Never underestimate your kids!!
The reason I am happy??? I took a good long hard look at the lives of my friends. And for the first time in a long time I saw that I have a pretty good life on my own! Just because I do not have another person in my life does not make me less of a person. I am the happy fat woman with a great life!!
Everyone I know has gone "Christmas gift" crazy!! We put up a list at work for our co workers to fill out so that we can buy them a gift that they may like or really use!! So I thought it would be fun to see what kind of Christmas gifts are being requested here on CS??
As I am cleaning & preparing for Thanksgiving & Christmas I often wonder just how many people out there are alone with no place to go for the holidays?
This year my family will not be having a big gathering due to situations beond our control. So it will just be my son & I having a meal before I go to work that night.
When I was a child, family & friends would gather at my Granny's & Pappy's home & we would have a grand time. Lot's of food & fun took place on both holidays. So many of them have passed on & others have moved far away. I miss those days!
I promised myself that this year I would not be sad but be Thankful for what I have & for what family & friends I have left in my life.
I am honestly Blessed...just feeling blue today.
Today I was told my a total stranger that I have a kind heart!
Why??? Well I took the time to help a stranger in need. He was broke down at my workplace & nobody would help him. We tried to call several places for help only to find nobody had the time or manpower. After about two hours of this I just gave up & gave this man a ride into a town 6 miles away to get a battery for his truck.
Yes, I know to be careful about strangers. But this man's problems were one I could relate too myself. While taking him to town I found out his "bad luck" will continue on until tomorrow at which time they will be having his Grandmothers funeral.
We are taught to be careful of strangers because of all the bad that goes on in this world. But deep in my heart I knew it would be ok. I was right, this man was so thankful that I helped him. He forced a $20 bill into my hands then refused to take it back. I gave up & said thank you.
How many times have we passed up a stranger in need of help? I know I have many times due to fear of "what could happen". After today I may be less fearful, but still careful, of someone in need of help.
I am trying really hard to figure out just who is real & who is not. I don't want to insult someone on here, but I belive most ot the mail I have been getting is spammers. Come on...get real..you start out a letter calling me a beautiful angle?? Or that I take your breath away when you look at my photo!!
WOW!! I really like the ones who use your profile as the letter!!
I know there are some who write nice letters & send flowers. Those few I have recived & have tried to reply back to nicely. I am just hoping I did not delete any real ones thinking they were spam!!
I am somewhat new to the on line dating thing & really overwhelmed by all the "bad" that is out there.
That is why I started looking & reading the blogs & forums trying to find out who is real?? And I have noticed that I am not the only one with the problem of "junk mail".
So I guess I will keep trying & hope that I do not hurt anyones feelings. That would make me sad!!
