Who Woulda Thunk It????
Current mood: Content
Category: Life

For those you who are more accustomed to my "railing rants";this blog entry may come off as a bit mushy & sappy. Well this one is supposed to be that way.
There I was,a 51 year old widower of almost 4 years,settling into a life of living alone. Wondering deep down , if after the roller-coaster ride of highs & lows of my last long term relationship, if I had the energy & patience to even attemp another one. Over the previous 4 years,I had met and dated a few wonderful ladies whose company I really enjoyed,but for one reason or another,taking the "next big step" just wasn't "in the cards". So by now I had learned to appreciate coming home from work and finding everything right were I left it. I had learned to deal with the emptiness that goes with living alone by having my friends at the City Pool Room only a few blocks away. When I felt like I needed some human interaction other than work;I'd head up to the CPR for Happy Hour,quaff down a few cold brews & bullshit with my friends. It wasn't the life I had had dreamed of for a man in his early 50's,but hey,It was OK.
Then when I least expected it....Bam! Cupid jumped out of the bushes and shot me square in the ass!
I had run up on a lady,here on My Space, that I had made friends with in person, about 3 years earlier. At that time,we never dated, but I knew there was something special about her. But alas, our paths in life lead in different directions at the time.
I thought to myself,why not ask her out for drinks. The worst she could do was turn me down & when you're over 50,rejection ain't no big thing. So the die was cast. I asked her out,we went out and talked and drank and something inside both of us just clicked. That was back in June of this year and now we are living together and loving it! I am happier than I can ever remember. Having My Sweetness,Kim,her two beautiful daughters April & Amanda(17&19 respectively)& our four-legged "Little Black Child",Pebbles become a part of my life has rejuvenated me and brought me to a very happy place in my life. Are there some major adjustments to deal with?....Yes. Are they worth it?....You're damn skippy they are!!!!
So for anybody out there, who is at the point where they are about to give up on finding "True Love";I say just hang in there and when you least expect it, that "Old Love Bug" might just jump up and bite YOU right on the ass. Hey,If it can happen to an old fart like me....Anything is possible!!!!
Peace & Love to All,
