Blah, blah, blah.....................
I am in a really funky mood this week. Nothing seems to help. I just feel blah. Maybe going out with my girlfriend to a bridal show will get me in a better mood. My best friend, here in Tennessee, is getting married in July of this year. Sunday we are going to a bridal show at the Expo Center in Knoxville. I can't wait. I love to look at all the beautiful dresses. She is not going to have a very big wedding, but whatever she's having.................I get to help! Yes, that will lift my spirits. I'm so excited for her and a little worried too because I think their courtship should be a little longer(it has been less than a year). But, if she's happy then I'm happy and if anything ever does happen, I will be there to help with that too!

Hi Michelle,
ReplyDeleteEverybody's got a right to get the blues sometimes. It might be just the alignment of the planets! It might be the unemployment! Just remember you are not alone in that category. Have fun at the bridal show.
Hi Michelle, you sound a bit like me. I was married for 25 years to my second husband and have 4 grown children. I have been divorced for 5 years now and am still having trouble with being single and alone. He decided he prefered a younger woman, in her twenties then. I think she may be 30 something now, he is 63. So it was a hurt to my ego and caused a severe depression. I am better now, but still angry and hurt. The divorce wasn't plesant and we don't talk. He and I only share one of the four and she is 30 this year. It has been hard on her. I am 59 now, and have no intention to ever marry again. I don't date and never allow my friends to fix me up. I was laid off my my job a year ago and have not been working since. I did get a large package and get my unemployment, but sure would like to get a job. I think I would feel better about myself if I was working and had a purpose. Most of the time I feel like I am standing on the ledge. Good luck in your new beginnings.
ReplyDeletePeggy,
ReplyDeleteI can absolutely feel where you are coming from. I hated being single and really hated dating. I'm going to tell you something someone told me once, "You may be lonely, but you are never alone". I found this to be true because I had friends and family that were there for me (and still are) whenever I needed them to be. Of course I did not ask for much. I just swam around in my own misery most of the time. But, it did make me feel better to know that if I needed them, that one would be available. I have really gotten used to being single. Perhaps I even like it better, but sometimes I still feel lonely. It takes a long time to heal (at least for me) from a divorce after you put 2 1/2 decades into it. So, whenever you are feeling low............just remember, "You are not alone"!
No matter what the size of your friends wedding, she will need lots of help. I had an extremely small one, only about 10 guests, and there was an enormous amount of arragements that had to be made. I did it all by myself (except financially, I had some help there, but not much). I'm sur eyour friend will be very thankful that she has you to rely on for this big day.
ReplyDeleteSounds like maybe your boyfriend may have settling down on the brain if he made the comment that he likes you there when he gets home. Who knows, maybe "shacking up" is in your near furture! Good luck with everything.
