Well it's Sunday and it's a very hot day (90's) way to early for this kind of weather, and my ac is not working, brought out the fans, wanted to just sit in front of them and not move, but well that has not happened!!!  Too much to do to get ready for workweek, wash clothes, try and clean house, but i think today, I am going to play "hooky" and go to the mall instead, invite my daughter for dinner and forget about the hot house until I get back..

I will get back to you on the cost of either fixing my ac or getting a new one.. either way,  it is going to cost money, but as I sit here typing in this hot house, in front of my fans,  one good thing about this,  I think I've lost weight LOL...

Well enjoy your week dear O50's, as I am "melting" away....

I have been away for a few days, and I am so confused by what appears to be very negative "feelings".  I join 50's because I have felt like someone a bit lost and drifting with the tide but never taking a chance to stop and see what is out there.  I was in a marriage that I thought I would be forever, I have seen "hatred" in my ex's eyes, becuase of his demons towards me, but I overcame all the self-doubt and loss of self-esteem, and now I love the "woman" I have become.    Is there not enough "hatred", ill-well in this world that we do not need it in this lovely site?  We are all looking for something or someone, otherwise we would not be here,  if you harbor "nastiness", then please move on, I have not met any of the people in this site, but crazy as it seems, they have touched me with their kindess and friendship!    We are all adults who have had our share of happiness, saddness, love and lost, and we come together to share of thoughts and life stories with the other wonderful people on this site.  I for one plan on staying!!!!  Sweet50Plus

Someone once asked "Do you believe in mircles"?  The answer would depend if you have had mircles in your life!  Not the Virgin Mary kind, but the simple lilttle ones that come into our life when we least expect them or "ask" for them.  I guess that I am here writing about them would answer yes for me.  I have three of them walking around this earth and I thank God everyday for my children!  But there have been others too, I remember about 10 years ago, I had not seen my parents in about 4 years, and it was taking a toll on me,  you see they lived in Arizona and I lived in New Jersey, and money was tight, but funny thing I pray that I could see my Mom and Dad, I can't tell you when I had my dream, but I had a very strange dream, one where the colors were so vivid I can still see them,  bright, wonderful light, I was in my parents home, actually in their bedroom and I was holding this beautiful baby, I also saw a table with a white cloth on it, I walked over to it, and I remember that I only saw beautiful arms and hands and I didn't or couldn't look up to see their faces, but here is the truly strange part,  they were showing me 4 different sets of numbers.  I remember waking up the next day and feeling light and happy, now I didn't play the  numbers for about 2 weeks, but I did play them, and I won $4000!!!!!  Even now, I get goosebumps thinking about that moment when I found out I had won, and I am sitting here typing this and crying, strange huh, anyway,  yes you guessed it,  I purchased  airlines tickets for my 3 kids and me and we went to see my Mom and Dad.  I know some of you don't believe me or in miracles, but, just think of someone you love, their smile, or the fact that you are ALIVE, is a miracle!!!!  We all have been touched by something more, we just sometimes get to busy to notice the beauty of life or something more!!!  So take a deep breath and smile!!!!

Thank you to all the wonderful, strong women who have shared their wisdom with me!  Life is full of twists and turns, and what we think will be, sometimes is only "smoke and mirrors".  I maybe scared of where my next steps will lead me, but at least I know they will be directed by ME.   

So thank you for sharing your thoughts and words of encouragement with a "stranger" who you have made to feel like a "friend".  I feel people come into our life, either in person or online when we need them, and we learn from them and from their experiences.

If someone specials comes into my life soon or not, is not important, because I feel I need to get to know me first!  Too much pain and sadness that has to heal before I can give of myself to someone else,  BUT, when that special person does come into my life,  LOOK OUT! :) I have alot to make up for LOL

So Thank You/Gracias.......Sweet

What happens next?  My husband was my best friend, believed in "forever", but forever is only saved for a children fairytale....  Married for 30 something years, spent the last 12 living in two separate bedrooms, thinking was it me, did I do something to cause him to stop loving me, until one day I realized, it was not me!!! He has issues that  I will never understand, but life goes on, "I" raised 3 wonderful, successful children, sooooo not what?    I have a passion, a feeling of something more than just working and living alone, I was never a drinker so the "bar" scene was never for me, so the question is what happens next?  I feel restless, I need to look  for the end of the rainbow and find my "pot of gold", life is too short to wait!  I guess the "what happens next" is really up to me and the wonderful people the come into my life!
