What are your plans for this upcoming weekend?
Since I'm doing the FF three days later, I'll answer in past tense: I was out of town with my boyfriend. We had a great time with friends and family. The weather was gorgeous!
Trust Again
A good friend of mine, who I seem to have parallel break-up stories with, asked me a question that haunts most divorcés: How and when do you trust someone again? I gave her the first answer that came to my mind, and I think it was a good one. I told her there is no time line or instruction booklet, it just happens. And when does it happen? That depends on how open you are, but it also depends on the other person. Trust is something people offer you, something you feel comfortable with giving and receiving, not something you program yourself to do.
I told my friend that in my case I'm with someone who makes me feel like I'm his whole world; when he looks at me, I feel there is nothing else going on around him, as if time stops, and that's an amazing feeling. I trust him with blind eyes and I also respect him. Although it is true that we do not need anyone else to make us happy, when it comes to relationships both people have to work really hard on making each other feel truly appreciated. There is no room for taking anyone for granted, and that allows us to trust.
Trust happens when it's supposed to happen. We'll feel ready one day, but also someone else comes along that makes us feel it is time to open up to love again. And doubt doesn't make part of the equation; you either love someone or you don't. When you're sure about what you feel and have no doubt about it, then that's probably when you're trusting someone again. Or that's how I see it.
Funneee!
"Lose the accent, Mary Poppins!" -- LMAO! So, nobody left last night. Fantastic! I haven't seen this week's show, but there's DVR for that, right? I did however see the results and then the footage of contestants being visited by Bono. My boyfriend jumped off the sofa when I screamed... Yes, I screamed. That's the effect Bono has on me.
Wonderful words
"I say everyone woman should stand naked in front of their mirror, and have another one handy so they can see their backside. I say look and Love it. Love what God has given it. Then think about getting healthy. Not thin. Not firmer or toned. Healthy. Let’s all get off the self-hating diet wheel. Lets stop offending our bodies. Stop the ungratefulness. Stop the ingratitude. Look and Love. Look and SEE. See what an amazing thing God has given us."
Amen to that! Thank you, Sherry, for the link.
