Dating.....

It's so different dating as you get older.I've tried the singles lines and internet. I've met a couple of nice men.Most are in to big of a hurry to rush into a relationship. There should be time to get to know one another, to find out likes and dislikes. Maybe older men are to afraid of being alone, since most I've talked to were married twenty to thirty years. There will be no rushing into anything for me. I like my life basically as is, it would just be nice to have someone occassionally to go see a movie with , go dancing , or to just have a good conversation. Life can be lonely in the later years when the children have left home and all you have to keep you company is a cat.

My son is coming home this weekend, since it's Father's Day. I don't get to see him as much as I'd like. He's a very busy young man and has a full life, with work,friends and school. Actually he's teaching a college class this summer for a short time.I'm very proud of my son. No mother could ask for a better son, I'm very blessed. He's going to teach English to french students in France for ten months. He leaves the last of August and like everytime he leaves the country I'll be sad.But during the Christmas holidays I'm going to go to France to visit him. That will be amazing and a little scary, since I've never been out of the states. I can't wait! Paris at Christmas wow!

I had a wonderful experience last night.I went to go see Joel Olsteen at the Alltel arena. It was an amazing spiritual event. I have both of his books , which I received for Christmas from my boss.I was able to get one of them autographed before seeing him last night. The Lord has given Joel the ability to be a wonderful motivational speaker. I would encourage anyone if they get the chance to go see him . And to read his books or listen to his cd's, it will hit home no matter who you are or your circumstances.

mistake or not ?

Well I broke up with my boyfriend on Friday night. I don't really have a good reason. He's a nice guy and we had a lot in common. I felt relief and sad all at once? You'd think a 55 year old woman would know what she wants. Sometimes I don't mind being alone (with my cat,margo) but I do have lonely times too. Maybe I'm to picky or looking for something I once had, who knows. Anyway now my sister is mothering me and she's the young one!

Getting Started.......

I heard about this from my son and thought I'd give it a try.I've always enjoyed keeping a journal so this should be fun. I've found that keeping a journal can be very relaxing and entertaining when gone back through at a later date.
