My Moment of Zen!

Good Friday Morning My Friends, Wow, I awoke to a slight chill in the air....had to put the big bathrobe on to sit outside and drink my java....is Fall really in the air? But, while sitting outside I was just gazing at our community flower garden that myself and the other ladies in my building take care of....and much to my surprise, there was a beautiful Spider Lilly that had bloomed! None of us even knew there was a Spider Lilly planted there. I just sat and stared....as I was amazed, not just by the beauty of the flower, but, that I had forgotten after the past two weeks of "emotional BS" that I have been through...to "stop and smell the roses"....I had forgotten to "just stop and enjoy the beauty around me". Some of you know that I had NOT my Heart broken,but, more so, my PRIDE...after realizing that I had been in an "intense friendship"for over two months with someone that had not been truthful with his intentions...(and if any of his fr

Being Single and Dating in Your 50's....Oh, the Pitfalls!

Image
When I became single in March of 2006, after ending a 10 year relationship with the man I thought was my "soul mate", dating again was the last thing on my mind! Those 10 years had not been all bad, but a major portion of them had been horrible as I watched a person I loved go through the "throes of drug addiction", and if anyone has experienced a loved one go through addiction, well, then you know how it can also eat away at the spirit and soul of the sober partner. So, I have spent the last 7 years getting to know who Deborah(me) is.....and let me tell you something right here....boy, did I have a lot of learning to do. I had lived for so long all consumed trying to do what ever it took to "help him" that I had forgotten how to help myself!
