2012 What can I say? I have no complaints nor do I have any regrets. The past year was a very productive and happy year for me. I got a chance to meet some very nice people while also finally coming to a realization about the friendship of others.
I have learned this year that I have really grown and changed as I have gotten older. The things that would have set me off so very easily in the past, I have learned to let go of. This year I got a chance to spend more time with my grandchildren. I took the summer off from school to enjoy the summer. althuogh I didn't get a chance to do much traveling I did make one trip happen. I went to meet a man that I absolutely adore. He was everything that I imagined he would be the perfect southern gentleman. My visit with him was as comfortable with him as if we actually lived in the same city. Just an easy breezy weekend.
Well here we are over a year later celebrated one year in November and it's just getting better, although we don't talk everyday because of our schedules it's nothing for either of us to send the other a thoughtful message.
2012 also afforded me the opportunity to meet someone who took a chance and drove to Cleveland to spend Thanksgiving with me and my family. My daughter told me I must be special for someone to travel on Thanksgiving to see me. My response was with a laugh I am! He fit right in with my family and we had a nice time for the 2 days he was here. I can safely say I appreciate that he took time to come see me.
I never thought I would be okay with a long distance relationship but it is working right now, because for me absence does make the heart grow fonder. If not for anything else I have 2 great places to visit Chicago and Maryland both are beautiful.
I guess after all these years my cousin was right about dating older men, the conversation is different and they have their own life and success, and it actually gives us something to talk about. The 2 of these guys are very different and it is those diffences that I like, although Maryland is the man that I adore, Chicago understood when I told him that I was seeing someone that lived in another state. I am looking forward to spending time with both of them in 2013, who knows what this year will bring but for me I see positive things happening and continued happiness. The new year started out great I went out for the first time in 9 years, I got a chance to dress up and look cute, and I must say I was looking great, 30 days of squats and they paid off, I got a chance to enjoy the company of a very nice young man who was very attentive.
So like I said at the top of this post 2012 has been good me and I hopt to meet more interesting people and not lose touch with anymore friends that I thought were close. Being in a relationship should not change your friendships with those who have been in your corner when no one else was.
I am wishing everyone a very HAPPY NEW YEAR and much happiness, and may the new year bring each and every one of my friends old and new the love and happiness that you all deserve.
IF LOVE FOUND ME IT WILL SURELY FIND YOU.... LEDESI.....
TIL NEXT TIME
