Shoutout to JBubble

hey there,

looks like you're experiencing humanness.
it's not so bad to be wrong about something.
it is bad to beat yourself up over things in the
past.

it was right at some point and you enjoyed it.
now (especially with this recent experience)
you feel it isn't right and that's ok

just give yourself time, feel everything, and
be loving toward yourself.  you are not a fool
by any means.  dust yourself off and give it
another go when you feel ready.

Thank you hon.

I had something fall into my lap. I wasn't looking, in fact, I think I was doing the opposite of looking.

So...I started talking to this thing that fell in my lap and realized that I was ok and that what happened was for the best, just like you girls said. It took me a little bit and it would have taken me a lot longer to realize it without my friends here.

In short, I'm happy. I'm deserve someone who wants me and who thinks I'm just great the way I am, just like my ladies told me. And now I've found that quite unexpectedly.

Your wisdom ladies, all of it, was my saving grace. I'm so grateful.

THANK YOU

yay!

just recognize that it's still early.
remember about the rebound thing.

again, it's awesome if the rebound thing feels good,
but don't underestimate the amount of healing yet
to be done.  *hint* something will happen and you'll
overreact and rebound thing won't have a clue about
how you got there... it'll be a conditioned reaction.

we are in total support of your emotional health and
your lasting happiness.

lots of love,

completely agree AND sometimes what you think might be the rebound thing turns out to be a whole lot more than that!

After my divorce, the very next relationship I got into ended up into almost 3 years and it was one of the best ones I've ever had until now. Don't overestimate the rebound relationships, but make sure you take things slow and don't sink your entire heart into them at first.

taking things slow is critical.

Sometimes the rebound is the rebound.  Been there.  Done that.  Got the tee shirt.  However, sometimes you wake up 16 months after the first time you spoke to the rebound and wonder how you're so lucky enough to be staring at his beautiful face as he wakes up. 

It hasn't always been easy.  He has paid for the mistakes of my past and I have paid for the mistakes of his, but we've made it through every time so far.

Hey girlie...how are you doing this week?

Hey girlie...how are you doing this week?

I'm great. I'm so very happy with what's happening right now that I just can't stand myself. I was adamantly not looking for something and had it just pop up out of nowhere. I know some people will say its too soon and such but we're taking it slow. We've both been hurt so we're not jumping in and instead we're just letting stuff happen naturally. I'm happy, he's happy, we're happy. Its so cute its sickening.

I think that without my friends here I would have missed out on something that could be very cool and I definitely would still be feeling very down about myself and the situation I was in. You all have really helped me out with your advice and support; makes me feel all warm and IZ_ to know that there's such a great support group here.

I'll be going on a little vacation in a week to see this someone, should get to meet Neenjah and her beau while I'm there.

I know I've said it before but I'm gonna say it again. You guys are awesome and thank you so much.

T, you figure it out? 

Hey Dolci, I believe I've got a three day weekend (Fri, Sat, Sun) for July 4th. Will people be around? I could ride up on the bike.

[dolci]

I think there are a fair number of us around - I know Zooom and I are local.

Cut and pasted from my original post....."I'm sure you've also heard the saying "when you're not looking.....".  That happened to me, met a guy online, actually went on a date sort of as a "well, i've got a few minutes after work for a drink" kind of thing, and I wound up marrying him 2 years later.  I knew after 10 minutes that we would be married.  You'll find that person, trust me."

CONGRATULATIONS!!! 
That's me drinkin' some beers at the Suns game (minor league baseball) tonight for ya!! Yippee!!
