Today, I added another dimension to it that involves joint replacement surgeries, but, it just feels like it is time to just deal with this. I have a lot of active years ahead of me (although, life does turn on a dime as I have experienced more than once) and if I need some "bionic" parts to keep active and enjoying life, then, I'm going to just do it!
It's been over 4 years for me since a relationship and although it would be grand to have a sweetie again, I am doing just fine solo. But, I need to get back to dance! Love it and the socializing with those peeps around me.

I have big plans for after my kids are grown and gone. Surprisingly enough, these plans have always been for me "solo"... Its kinda been, if someones around... they can come or they can deal.
I plan on being very active then. Building a Gypsy "vardo" and traveling to Ren Fairs and Medieval Reenactments selling small goods and my fortune selling services. I love to feel free to do what I will and will enjoy the untethered lifestyle.
But for now... I'm content to be where I am. I have the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of children, my own included. That is something I will always enjoy and treasure.
As for someone else. I decided a while ago that I am happy on my own, having someone else in my life is a joy, a blessing, but not a necessity. I do enjoy friends and social situations though, and I am severely lacking in those of late.
