The pressures of financial success often comes at too high a price, I too don't miss that life, yet there is always a cost still to meet when you turn your back on that. Overall, it appears you have reached a good balance where you are, something which is priceless!Shrinkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18401403773851253351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4713908623268184440.post-52947340956524495562011-03-05T09:44:34.531-06:002011-03-05T09:44:34.531-06:00I'd far rather be alone than lonely with someo...I'd far rather be alone than lonely with someone.secret agent womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03763879283931347382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4713908623268184440.post-81907973259741838272011-03-04T21:23:27.434-06:002011-03-04T21:23:27.434-06:00Looking in the mirror and liking who I see is some...Looking in the mirror and liking who I see is something that I can do now.

Not a nice feeling at all. Hard to work through at times.<br /><br />I've been reading back here on all I've missed. I know I read the 'Keeping Warm' one and tried to comment but it never took. I had said it reminded me of how my Mom always said "God takes care of drunks and fools". And my Mom always insisted that my grandfather (her Dad) was NOT an alcoholic, he was 'just a drunk'! And she many, many similar stories about him such as you posted!<br /><br />I agree with your 'Love' post, very insightful. And your 'Connected' post too. <br />And I believe that Ray was thrown into my path because I never in a million years would have chosen this man, he just 'wasn't my type'. I can take no credit for choosing wisely, he was a Gift from Heaven.<br /><br />And I agree with your sentiments about kids and role models, and I feel so sad for latch-key kids, or children shuffled from nanny to nanny and daycare to daycare. I think for too many of us, our wants have become our needs. And our children suffer.<br /><br />The Ladybug Ode was sweet, and I love ladybugs! And so do my grandchildren!<br /><br />Nice catching up here with you.<br />All the best,<br />EileenEileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679894230965874631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4713908623268184440.post-15362899180243305862011-03-02T11:30:38.846-06:002011-03-02T11:30:38.846-06:00I'm smiling at you, Techno!I'm smiling at you, Techno!Maude Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03669688074743095866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4713908623268184440.post-69190123178521260102011-03-02T10:39:45.664-06:002011-03-02T10:39:45.664-06:00I wish everyone could find what you have.
