I guess because my 59th birthday is a month away, my thoughts are plugged into this thread presently.
As I read through our posts, I am struck by some common themes around being comfortable with things like living alone, not needing to be in a relationship (but, possibly considering one if there is a match), not thinking that being with someone means living together, being much more connected to our own desires and values and an unwillingness to give these up for someone else. Just seems there is a commonality about self-awareness and self-love & self-respect among us. I know that although I have been fortunate in my life to have 2 positive, long-term relationships with extraordinary women, that there are many things I simply will not allow in my life at this age in terms of a relationship. I know I am grateful for my life even when there is hardship. LOL.. and I know I am not as patient as I once was! And I sure do have to stretch before dance, too! I certainly feel I have the capacity and personal attributes needed to sustain a relationship, but find I am not even willing to date someone that does not have my top non-negotiables. Why waste time on what I know will not work? Yes, time has become a very different concept to me at this time in my life. Sure, I miss many things about being with someone special and as full-retirement is indeed approaches, would like to have a partner to share intimacy (in its various forms) with and travel with. I also know that I just can't do drama anymore and would be happy going it alone with my good friends in my life as well as family. Some can travel too, so what the hell! Sex would be great, but, I have to stretch before that, too... Geezuzzzzz... I can't believe you said that, Dude!

...that now is not the time to get cocky or careless. That I don't know everything. That there is no advantage to staying stuck in a rut. I realize I need to stay active and engaged, or the aging process will become a quick, downhill ride.

Sometimes a good smack is EXACTLY what some people needed when they were younger.

That when someone show's you their true color's believe them...
That everyone comes into your life for a purpose or a season... And its a blessing for either That when someone tells you that they love you, listen to what they are saying but its better to watch what they do. For actions speak far louder than words.. That my adopted dad said growing up "believe half of what you hear and all that you see" That if you sit back and listen and watch body language you can learn alot about someone That if you cant respect yourself then others wont Not to plan your life. Cause what God has planned will happen anyway... That when you truly love someone you truly want their happiness even if that road leads to someone else That if you cant trust someone with basic human value's chances are you wont be able to trust them at all...... |

To let things go...
To choose my battles carefully... That significant others come and go but true friends are always there That your true friends will always be there for you... And will tell you the real truth. Even when you dont wanna hear it To forgive those that have wronged me in the past. Not for them but for my well being. To love deeper and harder when I love. To love someone as I do myself |

The older I get, the more I realize...
That I can't please every one all the time. It's time consuming & exhausting ~ and honestly not possible. That I have to love myself more than anyone else. That I can't always control what happens around me... but I can control how I react to it. That sometimes people suck... and that's ok. |
