We All Love...

Sometimes you have a bad day at work, and  then, everything starts to feel bad, and you can no longer keep up a strong front.

"I'm no spring chicken.  I thought I'd own my own home by now. Why don't I have a significant savings? What if I wind up alone and a ward of the state when I am old, without a hand to hold, or even my cats to comfort me? I am such a good person with a big heart, why am I still alone?"

And then I heard a song that made me remember feelings I thought I had forgotten, so then...I sobbed the entire drive home.





After my good cry...I came home. To an apartment that I love, and pets that I adore. I had friends to talk to, and a family that would listen to my endless tales about times gone by.



Mr. Magoo shows off his only front tooth alot. I also captured his one good eye in this shot. 


It's ok to still hurt. It only means I am still not ready to move on. Which is OK. We all have our own demons to face before we find our pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

I have not yet become bitter about love. I still love it and all that it represents. I still feel optimistic that I am going to have that amazing feeling again. I just refuse to settle for someone. I want "the one". I have plenty of prospects, and dates, and guys that like me, but really....it means nothing to me. I want so much more than that. I could settle down, but I refuse to "settle". None of them light my fire.

"Everyone says love hurts, but this is not true. Loneliness hurts. Rejection hurts. Losing someone hurts. Envy hurts. Everyone gets these things confused with love. But in reality love is the only thing in this world that covers up all the pain and makes someone feel wonderful again" -Greg Braden

I find Pink's acrobatic performances so mesmerizing and I love that song. It speaks to me too.

All things will happen when they're meant to happen. I met my husband when he was 48, never married, and we knew immediatly that we'd met the right person. I, on the other hand lived through 2 bad marriages before I met him. So, we all take different paths, but most of us get there eventually.

In the meantime, love your live and your babies. It will happen if you want it to.

I LOVE that song. And it makes me cry and I have no idea why.

But I've gotta say, never ever settle. Things will happen naturally.
