What's New - Sunday!
It took a long time to get a job, I was off work for a year. I never even thought about applying at this company cause I didn't think I had the qualifications and was too old....boy of boy was I surpised.....I applied on a whim......and it is paying off......
yep.....there are jobs out there....sometimes we just have to wait on them.....

Good Morning Laureen and Everyone.........
Laureen....I checked out your pics.....you look stunning!! Congrats on all the well deserved WOWS!!
As for me I am doing okay. I went out last night with the man I met Friday night. He is very nice but there isn't the tinest spark there....you know what I mean. We danced and laughed and had fun(was also with a group of my friends).
He asked to come over afterwards. I reminded him I don't do one night stands. He said he respected me for that. We sat around and talked and cuddled/kissed alittle. It just didn't work for me. I hope we can be friends....he said he wants more. I know it isn't going anywhere. Guess I need to let him know my decision on that. Maybe I just need to give it alittle more time......what do you think???
Today is a R & R day.......I need to decide if I am going to Alabama to that wedding on Thursday. Part of me wants to go and part of me is saying don't go for whatever reason.....I am not sure what that is all about. I just have this nagging feeling that I need to stay home. It is the strangest feeling.
I hope everyone has a fun and relaxing Sunday. Prayers to those in need.
Love and hugs to all......connie d

Aloha beautiful Connie....
Well, the little psychologist in me is jumping up and down shouting in my ear.....you must say something to Connie about a couple of things.
First.....if you didn't feel any chemistry with this man, I hope you will spare him and yourself the time and the feelings that can grow (on his part). It's not easy to tell someone you didn't feel a romantic connection, but I know you'll let him down gently. But I don't think it would be wise to continue with him, except as friends.......I think you know that in your heart of hearts.
And...the other thing that rang my bell strongly was the feeling you had NOT to go to the wedding in Alabama. What you describe is a STRONG instinct to stay home. My experience has taught me to listen to that kind of body/heart/mind message because there is usually a reason, and often I don't know what it is for some time. Part of this whole WLS journey I believe is learning to listen to our bodies, and to trust our feelings.
I hope that didn't come off as preachy or "know-it-all". I simply reacted to MY feelings about what you wrote. You are so special, so loveable, and I love that you are part of this little family. Sending you a big Aloha hug.
Aloha nui loa,

Karen....you are a wonderful friend. I value your opinion.
I went to speak with Duwayne, a very good friend of mine today. We came to the same conclusion about Dick as you did. I am ending it now. I am not the kind of peorson to lead anyone on and certainly not wanting to intentionally hurt them. It is for the best. Dick is calling later so I will let him know my decision then. He is nice but I can't go there with him.
As for my feelings about the trip ....they are getting stronger.....there is something that doesn't feel quite right. I will be paying careful attention to them the next couple days. I do seem to have a hightened awareness since surgery about alot of different things.....strange!!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!
Hugs, connie d

Connie,
I totally agree with Karen on this one, trust your instincts, because whenever I went against my own in the past, it surely was not pretty!

My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen

I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

As soon as I read what you posted I had to answer you. After I am done I will go on and read what everyone said and see if I am nuts. You know that is a possibility!
About your man friend. I feel that you need to be up front and honest with him from the very beginning. I feel that you owe him at least that. It isn't fair to play with people's feelings. He deserves to know that you have no feelings other than friendship toward him. I think I would stress to him though that you would like to be friends with him if he would like that. There is nothing wrong with having a friendship with him. But you need to be honest with him and not lead him down the pee patch as my old family nurse use to say. She was a sweetie.
About the wedding. I am one that goes very strongly on feelings. I think that God gives them to us. It is in your gut and I have come to believe that He puts them there. I would go with your gut instinct. I really hope that you do.
Know that I love you and keep you in prayers. Let us know what happens. You know we love to live vicariously through each other. Especially those of us like me who have no life. haha

It's not what you gather, but what you scatter
that tells what kind of life you have lived.
