Getting Real

Why is it so hard to get real and ask for what we want in a new relationship? Our feet are off of the ground and it's as close to magical as a kid at Christmas. We're in the glow of the new and floating around in the love bubble. No one wants to have it "pop" or go away.  Seems like getting real would just be a damper and  cause it all to come to an end. But, eventually, get real we must if the relationship has any chance of lasting.  


What's hardest to talk about gets put on the back burner. First it simmers then when it's beginning to boil over we have to pay attention. Our self is talking to us and we can no longer deny it for the sake of holding on to the new. Maybe we're avoiding 'cause we know it can't last if we get real and we don't want to give up the fantasy just yet.


Bite the bullet. There's no pretending. Take a risk and  talk what it is you want in the relationship.  It's the fear of taking off our mask, and being loved (or not) for who we are at our core that is at stake here. holdyourspace If you have to pretend or stuff it, you are denying the truth of who you are, and for what?  To thine own self be true. Don't settle and don't hide. The rewards are great. You deserve all the good life has for you.

Computer Malady

My computer is infected.  I haven't been able to access my email or write on my blog. It went haywire with infection warnings and I'm holding my space as best I can without access!  I 'm going through  log on withdrawals! I can use my phone, but it's just not the same as good ol' blue. I've been at a loss and realize how much I use it. I'll sit down and start to log on and sadly remember it's demise. I'm borrowing a computer to post this entry.  I guess I've been lucky. This is the first time I've had a computer down. The problem is, I'm not sure how to solve it. I'm sure I'll be able to enlist some help and hopefully, with some luck, my computer can be resurrected.

Happy Mothers Day!

To every Mother out there, Have a Happy and Very Special Day! To daughters and sons, give your Mom a BIG hug. There will come a day when she won't be there to hug and you'll have to remember how it felt. Trust me, those are very precious hugs and may need to last you a lifetime. I miss my Mom. Hug yours.
