Then you have to decide whether or not you want to pursue it further. Are you staying with him because he's the only option right now, or because you truly like him and want to see if it goes deeper? If the former, there are other fish in the sea and you should free yourself up for them. If the latter, stay and see what happens.
Yes, like it or not. Every thing you do sends out vibrations through the Universe, and we are all affected by it in some way. As one other, liakos I believe, said here, micro and macro level...we might not see it immediately, but it's there.
Btw, welcome liakos...I haven't seen you around before.
Here on CS, I definitely feel we're connected by our posts. Yesterday as we all joined in to surround Sweet Owen with our love and the laughter she needed to distract her, or even when a thread gets nasty and we all get upset, and some log off and don't return for a few days. You can't say it didn't affect you in some way...it did.
I have acquaintances on here that I enjoy laughing and joking with, and I have true friends who I also IM and call on the phone, or email privately. Maybe we're not in touch every day, but they're still people I consider friends, and that I would welcome into my home...and that's not true of everyone on here.
I do believe we're all connected. First, because we're divine spiritual beings in human form, and we all originated from the same Source. Second, because as humans, what each of us does affects each other whether we like it or not. If I don't recycle, but rather put my plastic containers in the trash to go to a landfill, you might not think that to be a big deal. How does it affect you? However, my negligence adds to many others' and we have a landfill issue that pollutes the Earth for generations.
You might want to ignore the connectivity we all share as we inhabit this tiny planet, but it's there on both the spirit and the human levels. I might not like everyone I share this planet with, but that doesn't mean that their actions don't affect me in any way.
Eh...there are some really great people on here, SF...I'm blessed to know a wonderful amount of awesome people through here, and to be able to call them friends. But thank you, my friend...you're one of them.
I have to admit I haven't had any fresh ideas lately myself for threads. But I've enjoyed your links tonight, LF...you're in a humorous mood tonight, I see.
God is just a part of it all, and is in my awareness at all times. It doesn't need to be above anything else, since it's part of everything and everyone.
Until they're adults, my kids will come first, a partner second, my parents next, then friends and myself...depending on the situation. If one of those has an emergency need, then they will take priority for that time being.
Everything else comes after the people in my life.
OK, I have to ask the question of why she's in another relationship when she loves you this way?
All I can say is that whatever happens, I wish you happiness, my friend.
And in a way, I do understand. For reasons of lack of compatibility, I seek a relationship with someone else when there is someone I love dearly. We will never work because I've grown into a different person, and I have specific needs in a mate that rule this man out, despite our feelings for each other. And thereby, I've decided to move on rather than see if he will eventually heal enough to give us a chance. I'm honest about who I am, and despite great love, not willing to settle for less than what I need. I love him just the way he is, but the way he is doesn't work for me for a long term relationship. And I can't ask him to change who he is to be with me, that wouldn't be fair. Nor can I go back to the person I used to be in order to be with him...that wouldn't be fair either.
It sucks, but so goes life. It will hurt him when I'm finally in a relationship with another, and that will hurt me, too. Again, so goes life.
Heck, at 45 I'm not into dating someone that young...can't imagine someone old enough to be his grandmother is...but best of luck. To each their own, after all.
I chat with friends, do my chores, and hang out in the evenings with my dogs. Occasionally I go out to the VFW for a pop (soda, whatever you call it there), or to my favorite spiritual place/healing center for activities there. I study my textbooks, and on the weekends that I have my sons, I enjoy my time with them.
Yes, I'd like to find someone special to look forward to spending time with, and doing all of the things you mentioned, but in the meantime I'm enjoying my life the way it is too.
Yeah, tell me about it...I'm raising two sons, with a younger one who tends to need stitches all too often, and usually only from being with me.
One stitched ear, staple in the back of his head, and a thumb he almost decided he didn't need one day.
To top it off, he thinks it's funny to watch me turn pale and woozy by showing me the wound repeatedly. I've discovered that amongst the few things that make my stomach weak is the sight of my son's blood.
So far, the weather doesn't quite know what to do...it looks like it's going to rain, then doesn't. I need one more dry day to make me comfortable with finishing the attack on the jungle. Tomorrow is supposed to be dry, so hopefully I can do it tomorrow afternoon...though part of me wonders if I should try to do it today after all, even though we had a slight bit of rain early this morning.
Not that a concussion is great, but it's better than many of the other possibilities. I'll still keep him in my prayers...he's not quite out of the woods yet. 24 hours will tell better. But thankfully, kids are tough.
RE: We are all connected
Ah, but it is our souls which are most connected. And our heart is really an extension of our soul.OK...now, gotta run. See you all later.
