WELL SAID (Many times lol)
I love the post by jono about 'time' and feel it is something I am lucky enough to have too ... someone who listens and really takes time to understand me. Our friends bring a wealth of warmth into our lives

I'm thinking really hard here trying to come up with those wonderful memories of my ex wife. I've told many people that I can't say anything bad about her because she really is a wonderful person, but I'm having a hard time here.I guess the most important thing I can think of is the fact that this person gave me self confidence. I used to think I was a nobody. I was shy and very insecure. Meeting and marrying this beautiful, smart lady who is now a doctor really built up my ego and I lost most of those insecurities about myself and feel pretty sure that I am a very fortunate person to have such a great personality. I give thanks to her for opening my eyes to this.

EagleWoman: Let´s praise .... the opposite gender!!!
Share something pleasant or wonderful someone, you were in a relationship with, did for you which warmed your heart because it meant he/she had to go that extra mile!!!
One great memory I have is when he used to heat up water in 2 huge pans because the water boiler was crap and the bath water was never hot for long enough to enjoy a good soak. He used to bring the water in after a few minutes and top it up with hotter water so I could enjoy my bath. Thank you.

hey jeeps
i think that's super important.
many years ago, my son was trying to decide which girl to date...
and asked me..lol
i said it didn't matter what she looked like, or what she did (one was a plumber, and the other was a waitress..)or what they had...
what was important, is what they brought out in him.
i suggested he go out with the young woman that brought out the best in him.
still feel the same way. so that's actually an awesome compliment to your ex in my wee opinion..

what jono said about time really struck a chord with me also because
so that is what I am waiting for - the guy who really wants time with me
but I had a male friend a young man who lived down the hall in my old apt building who visited pretty frequently - all we did was talk - in the year or 2 that we were neighbors I probably learned more about him - and probably knew me better- than my ex husband of 19 yrs or the ex boyfriend of 5 yrs. that was awesome
on the positive ex husband story....he was a good cook and gave me many nights off when I was home all w/ our children- he never missed a birthday or Mother's Day and was very considerate on those celebrations - always got beautiful flowers because he knew how much I loved them.
my ex boyfriend just made me laugh - he was easy going & brought out the best in me in that way
is that good enough?

Yes making time for friends, loved ones and even someone we care deeply about (within a couple), is a gift we should give ourselves and others with more generosity!
Some people have this generous nature.
Sometimes, I "forget" to make the effort to go and "give someone time", although I´m always welcoming and supportive when someone comes knocking on my door.
Sounds like you cherish those moments Jantie!!!

It´s good to have (some) positive memories of the lives we shared with people ... It at least makes sense of why we were together for a length of time...
Your young neighbour sounds like a good friend ... Are you still in touch with him?
Felixis, things like that aren´t quantifiable. Nor should they be. Sometimes, spending 10 min with someone can be more fulfilling than an hour with someone else.
Within the "time" aspect of sharing, I think quality of connection also comes into it.

I agree regarding the quality of the connection! That is why I try to remain free from too many criteria - because it is the quality of the connection that is crucial.
No my young friend had to move due to personal circumstances and ran into some hard times. I talked with his mom about 2-3 yrs ago and shortly after moved here (about an hour $ a half) away. So he doesn't know where I am now - with the move & so on...

Nah, I'll take the moment right now.
Jono...you just opened up a waterfall of tears. Gosh, I needed your words more than I knew. Thank you for including me. What an incredible honor from an incredibly amazing woman.
And reading your words...that is so much what I seek, and what evades me. Time and attention...this is really not that easy to find; a man that wants me to be the one to receive his time and attention.
Thank you Jono, EW, Vin, and Truest of True.
Safe journey KB!!! I second your words about Jono!
KB believe that YOU deserve it (time and attention from a man) and you will get it!!
Vinny thanks!
I might not be able to get on over next couple of days as I´m preparing for an event on Sunday that promises to be very busy and I´m having a space with my paintings. Been making greeting cards , book marks and A4 posters with pics of my paintings for peeps to buy.
Enjoy the thread while I´m absent!!
