Oh jac, I've never been able to squeeze this body into a bikini. But I'm not shy about shoving a handful of the porridge down your knickers when you're not looking, because that's what I do.....
I will be attending a shindig with approx.100 people, champagne at midnight, music, dancing, the whole shebang...in a slinky new red dress and hobbling around with a broken toe.
Getting involved in something that we are passionate about is indeed rewarding. I'm sure that while helping maintain the towpaths, you are forming such wonderful friendships and connections. This is fulfilling.
Last Saturday I sat for the last time on a committee I've been a part of for 2 years. I've turned the reins over to someone quite wonderful. I'm providing mentorship only as long as she feels she needs it. Knowing when and how to pull back will hopefully be an easy transition. Another commitment is something I jumped into about a year ago when I realized that a nonprofit that offers a haven to those "outcasts" of the area was weeks away from closing its doors due to the pandemic shutdown. Income was not coming in to pay the rent. I knew I could turn things around and pulled from my 20 years of nonprofit building experience. It is now running smoothly, is more successful and offering more opportunities and activities than before, and the team leading it forward are fantastic young and bright individuals. I stepped down over this last weekend. The last thing is a convention this coming weekend where my part is a fundraiser for a local charity. After this weekend, I'm not sure how my life will look.
I've been spread ueber thin with volunteer commitments on top of the normal work week. As of this last weekend, I have stepped down from my positions on two of those commitments and will simply be offering a helpful hand where needed going forward. I am intentionally re-shifting my focus back to me and looking towards dating again. I hope you have been well also Bod.
And then there is you Truest who has been through thick and thin in your life, and you still manage to come on here and try to lighten the forums with your cheekiness. It is noticed.
She does get to the heart of the matter and evokes emotional responses from some on this site. It isn't always easy to see ourselves through others' eyes. Take that which resonates to heart, leave the rest behind. She has my full respect and admiration and she brings out the Protector Mother in me.
I am a believer that like attracts like. We receive and attract what we put out there. So if "nice" is missing from our lives, we need to look inside ourselves and evaluate why we ourselves aren't attracting "nice".
