Greetings and salutations! Something a little less heavy as a subject matter, and a bit more buoyant! Yes, pun intended. I love the water, and I love to swim. Some of my fondest memories concern the water. When I was very, very small, I can remember my dad taking us to the local pool (which... Continue Reading →
Fear.
Salutations! Fear. It can be a good thing, and a bad thing. A dose of fear is healthy. It prevents us from doing stupid, risky, and bad things that will put us in danger. It can prevent us from making fools of ourselves. If the fear is reasonable, and justified, then that's not too bad.... Continue Reading →
Lessons from the couch
So I went to see a professional to deal with the emotional turmoil that I've been going through, and to get some clarity about the stuff I've been going through. I learned that it's ok to have needs and to get them filled and not to feel guilty about that. In my own way I... Continue Reading →

Believe it…or not!
Question. Do you believe in psychics? Fortune tellers? People who can predict the future? As much as I'd like to give a clear cut answer, I'm going to firmly answer "NO, but." No, I don't believe people can predict the future in the way shown in the movies, or on those psychic hotlines. I do... Continue Reading →
Will we make each other happy? Damn the lists!
I know I've gone on about lists, and qualities that my perfect person should have. And there's nothing inherently wrong with that. However...at the end of the day, will he make me happy? Will I be happy spending time with him? Will time fly when we're in each other's company? Can we burst into fits... Continue Reading →
Didn’t we almost have it all?
I was listening to Whitney Houston singing this song, and I admit it did make me feel nostalgic. Regrets, nostalgia, happy memories, etc, are all a part of life, aren't they not? As well as speculating on what life could be, or could have been. I try not to indulge in regrets, but being human,... Continue Reading →
Charming the morning dew right off the honeysuckle…
I was having a discussion with a friend of mine about politics, and politicians, and the conversation inevitably lead toward "charm", or charisma, and more to the point...if I had one or the other. I'm going to drag some words into this post by people more erudite than I. Oscar Wilde said "All charming people,... Continue Reading →
Third Wheel, Doctor Who, and Relationships too…
Third wheel: "a person hanging out with two people (usually a couple) that are in a sense leaving him/her out. Called the third wheel because... "Having any odd number of wheels on an object generally messes it up." I had the occasion (unfortunately) to be put into a situation where I was made a third... Continue Reading →
How I would love you…
So, the continuation...lots of things I want in a partner explained in the previous post, but don't get me wrong: I realize that things are give and take. I would be remiss if I didn't mention what I'd give my special someone. I would be a rock for you. You would have my undying support... Continue Reading →
