I would have to say that my son has influenced me most. Not in the same way as many people think. (Many say a parent for example). Because of my son, I have learned many things...to think "outside the box", to question things, to understand things, to accept some things...and to NOT accept other things. I am a different person now, than I was 10 years ago, because of what I have learned from his experiences.
Interesting reply Tommm...and so true. I'm not "looking" for a long distance relationship...but then again...I'm not thinking that the man of my dreams lives around the corner either.
I would really like to find someone to share the rest of my life with. Having never been in a long term relationship without marriage, I can't speak from experience. I do, however, think it is easier to walk away if there is no "piece of paper". I personally don't like the "dating" scene...lol... I guess I would have to be in it to really know for sure! I'm not into dating more than one person at a time. I do eventually want committment in whatever form suits us both...IF I ever meet him.
Haley Westenra - Pure Katie Melua - Piece by Piece two incredible vocalists...you can even catch Katie on you tube in a duet with Eva Cassidy ...simply beautiful And for a totally different sound than this..Damien Rice
yes, I know taz, just an example of how things are interpreted. Its all perception...no??? I don't take it to heart...it seems most people in here already know each other...I'm just a newbie!
I've only been here for a couple of weeks. I have replied to threads, but never started any. I enjoy reading them, for the most part. The typewritten word is definitely all interpretation. There is no tone or body language, so it is up to individuals to interpret. We have to keep in mind that how we interpret something is not necessarily how the person who typed the message intended. I have to admit, that sometimes, I think that people are not responding to anything I have said...but again...thats MY interpretation.
yes Captain, I would have to agree. Its really hard to get through to the kids though. Don't you remember...(the nothing will ever happen to me syndrome?) I think they also have to hear it from some survivors....and knowing that the writer of the poem is now no longer here might scare a few
Welcome to the site! I am a little discouraged to be honest with you. Not that I expect things to happen overnight. But I have not had any messages since I came back on here, and no one has answered mine...so.... In the meantime...just gotta go with the flow!
For the right person, at the right time, yes. But I wouldnt rush into it. I would have to be absolutely sure that this person and I want the same thing. My children are grown and live away, so there is really nothing to hold me back. Ideally though, it would be nice to be able to travel back and forth...together.
As far as happiness goes, no one can "make" you happy...you have to find that within yourself. That being said, I am very happy with myself, however, don't want to grow old alone either...But I think I am closer to "old" than you are canadianwoman29...LOL Being out of a long term marriage, I do find it difficult,by times, to be alone; but sometimes you can find yourself "alone" in the same room as others
On Saturday, I'm going to Halifax to see Il Divo in concert. with a girl friend. My children don't live close by, so no family get togethers for me. Having no family here is probably the hardest thing for me to get used to as a single person. So I'm looking forward to getting away and having some fun! Probably not a good venue for meeting single men, as I am sure THEY are not lined up to watch 4 hot men sing in a foreign language
