Monogamy

[Faithfulservant]

Anita I am sorry

Namaste Anita, in our prayers...

Monogamy....once committed I'm a monogamous kinda guy.

In 20+ years of marriage I was often tempted, right there in your face kinda stuff...but it really didn't interest me to break a trust in that way.

I was lookin forward to growin old together...however my spouse decide that till death vow wasn't really binding I suppose...she said she moved on because I was unreliable and she was afraid I'd be an eccentric old geezer...I say she got out just in the nick of time. She had me replaced prior to taking off though...good sense on her part.

Her family had lots of divorce in it, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles etc. Mine had none....divorce wasn't in my vocabulary....it is now...and unfortunately it is in my children's as well.

Geese I understand mate for life....in humans it seems to me we grow and change...and some of us just don't have the wherewithal to see the commitment through along with the changes. In my limited analysis most of those that work through the turmoil and the tough times end up quite content in those aging years...and often those that split up decades later see the folly in their decisions.

Hi Chris

This morning I read a post by Mark on one of my threads, he had a serious insight into life. I feel so honoured I got to 'meet' him before he left. He was a point of light in a dark world.

I have lupus which I have under control for the most part, a few flairs here and then nothing major and I had a drs. appointment yesterday. The dr. was concerned about some joint swelling and a small butterfly rash I have on my face and he asked me if I was being stressed out over something so I told him what was going on in my life and he told me how stress could cause problems with lupus and suggested yoga for relaxation. When I left his office i was upset so I stopped by my daughters with a new baby. Hailey, my new grandbaby does belly time which she is placed on her belly on a blanket on the floor. I felt for this little one as she struggled and all a sudden she flipped over unto her back and the expression on her face was priceless. Such shock in it and then this kind of smile crossed her face. Somehow this small moment lifted my spirits. After holding her for awhile, talking and cooing I felt renewed. When I got home I heard laughter coming from the bedroom and as I crept to the bedroom I say Gary and my two grandsons sitting on the floor playing this computer game just having a ball. I went into the kitchen a made some stir fry for dinner, we ate at a noisy table, made sundaes for desert and when I woke up my rash was gone, Gary had left for work and the two boys woke up in good moods. I grab on to the good times with a vengeance right now. I am trying not to dwell on the bad things. I am not waiting nor hoping for a miracle just some serenity.

Now that depends, if you have bipolar then some days you wake up and wow, isn't the world a great place and others you wake up and wish you didn't have to.

It's a funny old world.

Loved the baby rolling over on it's back story, just shows you what is truly important in this life - oh yeah, that would be new life then.
