Happygolucky4u: OMG am I reverting back to childhood? Why did Santa come early and bring my sister what I wanted. She got the cutest puppy (I am happy for her) I would like a puppy. I don't understand what is stopping me. Am I traumatized from the loss over a year ago of my other pup? Am I so self centered here lately I don't want the responsibility but would love to have a pup? I make decisions everyday. Why can't I just decide? I look but nope nada no pup for me yet?
Stay tuned for the next episode of a "Boring Single Woman's Life
Happy you may well be still traumatised by the loss of your puppy over a year ago
I know I still am over the loss of my nearly 14 year old boy, five years ago. .
But another little boy, by happenstance, romped into my life just over a year after his death when I was still grieving but also finding my home had lost its heartbeat ~ the little face at the window when I pulled into my driveway after work, the delirious welcome when I walked through the door
This little guy was only six months old and an absolute terror I didn't know what had hit me
But now, just a few years later, still seeing his joy and excitement from the moment he opens his eyes every morning to greet a new day lets me know that I absolutely did the right thing taking him into my life, even though I had misgivings way back then.
And it will happen for you too when the time is right
HotrodLarrys: Hello Happy, It has been a long time, I have been gone a long time, Maybe you should get one of those Giant Rabbits that my son got They say they are easy to house train with kitty litter So Make up your mind.. Great to see You...

I so remember the passing of your beloved one and you have hit the nail on the head. My home seems to be missing its heart beat. I have picked up traveling a bit more last year and I worry I will do that again next year. I am about ready to stay home and maybe only travel a couple of weeks out of the year. Hopefully (I have been looking) the right one will pull my heart strings.

This little guy and I have just returned from a week's vacation by the sea
I rented a pet-friendly cottage and we had the best time, it was a delight to see him discovering the ocean for the first time and getting sand in his fur

Awww I bet he did have a blast at the beach. I know I do
It was a chore but I got mine up. Usually do a real tree. You stick it in a stand throw stuff on it. Easy peasy. Bought an artificial one after xmas last year. Geez that was more work fluffing out those branches. Started already getting stuff for the table and meal
I understand and agree with you. This time of year is frightening for me. I can't even run in a store and get a loaf of bread with out fighting the crowded roads (Our prime tourist season is full swing) and then fighting the crowds at the mall. I just slap a smile on my face and keep it there till I get home. Well except for yesterday. I decided to drink a bloody mary and hopefully everyone would look so pretty afterwards

irish78eyes: The pen that writes your life story must be written with your own hand!
Heard this today, its a great one
Wow, so true, Nice one... it has been a few years ago, I got some alcohol, Had a few drinks, laid down on the floor, Relaxed and told my life story on cassette tape...I think it was like 2 1/2 hours long... I packed it away... on the tapes I marked; " My Life Story"...... Some day it may mean something to my kids or whom ever it may concern...

That's a great idea, I'd say you have plenty of stories to tell
irish78eyes: That's a great idea, I'd say you have plenty of stories to tell
I truly do. I came up a long hard road...I have had over 20 people that really know me say that I should write a book or even have a movie made...I have considered that also, but I do not know if I want to relive it again... If I knew someone that actually could write it as I told it, I would probably consider it...For me to write it, I wouldn't.. that is why I put it on tape...I could add a couple more chapters since then.. That is why I love to Laugh, Joke, and act silly... It keeps me looking forward.

Oh we all have a story to tell that's for certain But the trick is carry on regardless, shorten the time frame and live for today, every day is a new chapter
