I did miss having strong, smart, witty men around me
That sure in the hell wasn't FT or his friends ! 
They include me in their plans and it's been fun. Usually one calls his wife and another calls his GF. One has been trying to set me up with his Dad. If Dad is as cool as his son, maybe some day but he's a rancher! I swore when I was younger no farmer types EVER, I never wanted to be tied to animals and land. I was raised on a farm so I know first hand. Might have to change my opinion.
They are just a great group.
NB isn't perfect but I seem to smile and laugh easier than I have in years. I see the "old" me coming back.

It's my life now, my choices, my mistakes to make and my victories to celebrate. His choices made me free of liars and betrayers in my life. That is priceless.

So, do you two step? You either need to learn or brush up cause one of these days you and I are gonna go two step pin and show those women that us "old ladies" know how to boot scoot!! I miss two step pin so much and it would be so much fun to have you with me when I dust off my Justin's and Rocky Mountain jeans

It's been 35 yrs but I have a feeling I will be again very soon. I have a country music friend now and I know L does dance so...maybe sooner than later. He was raised in TN and TX . He's not even embarrassed being seen with an older lady so I know he would be ready to go dance anytime I am.
I'm back living in the country and near a small town. I missed this more than I thought. Who knew ??
There's a neighbor(divorced too) that is taking me riding horses. I haven't for 20 yrs since FT and I had to get rid of ours. He rides at the beach so will going in two weeks.I only rode in the mountains so something new.

I know !! Only lived in CA for 32 yrs and never rode on the beach.
And company will be good too. 
He's a very sweet man but he lives too close to me ! 
Way too close !! He can see see my bedroom lights on from his bedroom...yikes ! He sees me drive by and will ask if I want to go into town with him because he hasn't seen me drive that direction during the day. He would like more than riding horse on the beach but I'm not ready to give up my freedom. He comes over when I'm sitting outside in the evening watching our awesome sunsets over the Monterey Bay when it's not fogged in.
I don't know.... 
Just want have fun right now and work.

That what I have been doing recently and definitely living in the moment.It feels great after 30 yrs of FT.The dark cloud has lifted and no where is sight. The lifting in the last couple years has been like peeling the layers of an onion.

gma.....your post put a big grin on my face. You go girl!!!
Sometimes the hardest part of finally seeing through someone is accepting what you see...
God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to
change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me.
