Been A Minute
Long time no see, all! Hope you have been well through these crazy times.I actually have something to blog about. In January I had an experience that I’m sure will forever change who I am. A long time friend, who I happened to move next door to a year ago, hung himself. I had the honor of finding him :(.
The lesson so far...live each day with joy and gratitude. There are no guarantees that tomorrow will be “same old same old”.
The only constant is change. I’m looking forward to some good ones. I’m due.

That's hideous
Never be sorry for making a gal feel special
I kinda forget what ya look like anyways and my new fish takes up all my time now, so kinda too busy...
*Checks GT's pics again.
Okay so my fish got mysteriously flushed so calendar wide open again for activities (eg. dating).
(Honestly I'm happy that you bob back on every few months just to know you're doing well.
A recommendation for you to disregard completely: The meditations of Marcus Aurelius. I got more out of it as a system for living that anything I've ever read. Good luck to ya.
I definitely know that the more I learn, the less I really know...paradoxical, Much? Lol
I am definitely in that moderation mode. Suffering doesn’t interest me much.
I think stoicism is fascinating because I have seen that the emotionality that most people run on, is the root of all suffering.
My brand of stoicism must include a healthy dose of not taking anything too seriously. Humor has been a wonderful friend to me.
I love that there are witty lovely people on this planet.
Years ago my friends owned 2 funeral homes, I went on a few removals with him. Hard to describe the thoughts invoked.
Sorry you had to be the first onsite.
Many people call it a selfish act. How can ones call it that when they are simply on the outside looking in. To be on the inside looking out is both night and day and day and night.
As for jERSEY jIMBO, he continues to show his lack of self worth. Then tries to inflict it upon others.
As weird as it sounds there is a sense that he must have trusted me to find him and to know how to handle it all. Doesn’t mean I don’t feel anger come up here and there. But there seems to me to be more than one way of looking at things like this. I honestly would not have wanted anyone else to have found him. It is not something you would wish on anyone.
Bantering with you is absolutely one of my favorite things
*You'd think.
Back to the romance laboratory to restrategise. Someday
Is it 2017? Where's Mapmaker
I WISH I could express myself the way Doc does.
My brain is not in any shape to play sock puppet these days. I feel like I’m barely making any sense in these blog posts as it is
I see romance in your future...
Oh by the way you know he's a proctologist I have it on good authority
I would never shoot you down. Tease, yes. Take your shoot down, never.
