Hey Keith, Music does move me a great deal. I am very much rythimally challanged but there are definetly some songs that I listen to that make me cry.
Besides music there are people who have come in and out of my life that have moved me very deeply. In fact the bracelet that I wear all the time says: Never under estimate the impact you have on others.
The flip side of that is that we all make an impact on the people who cross our paths and the question then becomes what kind of impact do we want to leave on others.
Ok so now I am responding to my own threads (I must need something else to do). But it has been a year sense I had a diet pepsi. It is amazing how much somethings can change in a year. I tried to drink another DP. I didn't like it at all. I did find an energy drink that I REALLY like and it gives me the kick I need to make it through the afternoon.
The other amazing thing of losing 120 lbs in a year is how much more energy I have, being able to shop at places that I haven't been able to buy clothes for, also it seems as if my life is going in a much more positive direction. So life is GOOD.
Hey Paws, I confess that I listen to Barry and have gone to see him in concert 3 times. I confess that when I don't feel like dealing with work I call in "sick". I confess that I have some insecurities that are hard to get over. I confess that I don't balance my check book and don't really care as long as I am close and don't over draw. I confess that I have made some not so good choices but I am learning to live with them. I also confess that I am envious of other people who I think are better looking then I am. I also confess that I feel like I should be in a different place in my life then what I am. I guess all of these things make us human even if we listen to Barry from time to time. D.
I am taking the blanket and a good book and going to the beach. My son will dig in the sand and we will listen to the ocean. But I may go before then and stay at my favorite little hotel. Dawn
I learned a lot when I was married but I learned more after I was divoriced. About my marriage and about myself. I would get married again but I will be pretty selective when the time comes.
If I have the time and the roads are good I go to the beach. My favorite is to go to Lincoln City and spend the night at my favorite hotel. Turn the fire place on, take a hot shower (do the girly pampering things) open the sliding glass doors and listen to the ocean crash. The problem last time I did that was that I fell asleep before 7:15 pm. It was great and am trying to figure out when I will have the time and funds to do so again. But if I can I usually resort to a long, hot bubble bath.
I was pretty young and had relationships with them for a very long time. I am not sure about the now thing am still waiting for a second date with someone.
As for other types of relationships I think you can have a connection with another person that can be instant and very meaningful.
I have had long term friendships that I felt instantly connected to. It is unreal when it happens and beautiful. I think our hearts can sometimes tell when there is someone special in your presense.
I think and you might not like it but if you are looking for someone to light the candle someone else has already lit then you have not blown out the first one and are not ready to lit a different candle. And trying to compare another person to the one you are trying to replace is not fair to her or you because it will never be the same. I think you have to be willing to remember the love you had but not let it influence the next one. It isn't fair keep living with what if's and if only. You can only live in the moment. And the only thing you can control is the present moment.
I tend to trust untel I have reason not to. However; I am gaurded with how much or what I trust. I can say my relationship exsperience in terms of male/female on more then a friendship level is limited partly because I think I trusted or beleave in what I wanted to beleave about my exhusband. Some lessons are learned the hard way. But that doesn't mean I can not trust another person again enough to have a "L" word relationship.
My PSY teacher said that it is true that men need to say half as many words as women and it isn't all because we have to repeat ourselfs but sounds close to me.
Paws, I live about an hour from Portland. I could spend the day wondering around any given part of Portland or Seattle and entertain myself quite well. The town I live in is pretty small and there is not that much to do. I do not find myself being able to entertain myself that well here. I can only go to walmart so many times and enjoy it. D.
I do beleave in Karma but not so sure about it in the love area. I beleave that we should treat each other the way we want to be treated. That doing a good deed here will be repayed in other forms. Sometime we just don't see what it is that we are ment to see. I also beleave in bad karma too. What goes around comes around as the saying goes.
No kidding we have a strange sense of what entertainment is in the good old U.S. The best thing is my sister and I decided that my 2 older sisters could be on Springer easy. But neither of us should be on that one.
My sister and I were talking today about who's talk show could we be on. I think I could be on Montel Williams very easy. We agreed he was not as trashing as Maurie Povitch or Jerry Springer. Anyone else had the thought they have seen shows that they could be on like this?

Have a great day and keep writting the music.
