Gardener, if in your travels you ever get to upstate New York, would you like to meet me for lunch?
I can appreciate how you feel about marriage. I figure it this way, marriage is a commitment from the heart, not a piece of paper. Regardless of that "binding" (can you mentally see me rolling my eyes?????) contract or not, it is very easy to walk away.
I have to say, now, back on topic, my goals have been achieved. When I first left El Paso, I vowed that I would find a job that I enjoyed (check), made enough money to live comfortably (check), find an apartment (check), get the Tween in school and settled (check), and get back on my feet, i.e. being able to pay my own bills (check, check).
With these goals accomplished, I have decided to take a rest. The only thing, right now, I want to remember is to cherish every day with the Tween because she is growing up so fast, and to maintain the relationships I have managed to build with D24 and D23. Oh oh a goal...find cute little DB names for my other daughters. Okay, ummmm D23 is the DQ (Drama Queen) and D24 is TC (Tough Cookie).
See...another goal accomplished....
Im still standin better than I ever did looking like a true survivor feeling like a little kid Im still standin after all this time and Im picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind..
