Time for a Change?

Hello ya'll!

Let me see...Where to begin, where to begin...

I have this overwhelming since of "thankfulness" lately...I have been taking inventory these past few weeks...Both physically and mentally...I have cleaned out my house and gotten rid of alot of stuff...No need for extra CRAP...esp. since Robb is coming home very soon and we will need all the space we can get between my things and his, I'm sure...I have consolodated all my things (clothes and shoes) into one closet, except for a closet I kept my "summer" shoes in and all my purses and extra perfume...

On a personal level, the inventory I have come up with is amazing...I have done some housekeeping with some friendships, believe it or not...It actually is ok, too...Honestly, I think I deserve props on this one. I think everyone I had stale friendships with, those friendships you keep out of duty--I think those people are relieved too...They must be...Surely if they needed anything, I would help them out in any way I could...

Here is the deal. I have several people who have just blown me away with their friendships lately. These people have gone above and beyond to help me. I didn't really realize that we were that close, either. Honestly. I mean, yes, I knew we were close, I just have never had friends like this before--ever! Things they have done for me, I never would have thought to even ask others for the same. Their offering of support and love and just their re-assurance is just amazing. I do believe it when Mother tells me, God put them in your life. I am grateful for that...

I am thinking I need to change the name of my blog. Robb comes home in a few weeks and we will begin our lives together. He told me in a conversation a couple of months ago my "man issues" are over. You have no idea how happy I am...I can't say it enough!!! I could not ever have asked for a kinder, sweeter guy...He makes me so happy. He is coming home just in time, too! It's getting cold! I need a snuggle buddy! Haha...What is it...10 days???

Anyway...I hope you all are doing well...Love some of you!

MORE random thoughts...

Hey there! Wow! It's been forever since I have written on this blog! I was just inspired by an OLD friend...one of my very first friends I still keep in touch with...Well, we keep in touch lately...we didn't always...People, places, circumstances, and such kept us wrapped up in our own lives...It's just been in the last few months we have gotten back in touch with each other...As much as this person pisses me off on a regular basis, and despite the fact I drive this person into orbit almost daily by my blatant smart ass mouth, I think we are still good friends (thankfully)...

This person can take my personality...This person can stand up to me when needed...We use each other constantly...I haven't laid eyes on this person since like...Hmmm...I would say early 90's??...Pretty sure that was it...LMAO! My special term of endearment for this person: "jack ass"...LMAO!

So, let's get right to it...I have realized in the last couple of months, things aren't really what they seem...Old friendships I thought would never be shattered are non-existant...People you thought you knew, oh well, you didn't...Funny, it's kind of like, out with the old, in with the new, and VERY much appreciative to have a couple of second chances with a few...Honestly...I know that sounds callous, and heartless, but, if you surround yourself with people you no longer have anything in common with, it's bound to come to pass--the end of old relationships...yes, that's very sad, but true...Not to say if these people needed anything, I wouldn't be there...I would...I would come to their rescue, but as far as to spend alot of time trying to revive old friendships that have long since staled, what's the purpose?

It is like you are walking thru a house, and one by one, you turn on light switch and you finally see...YOU HAVE NOTHING IN COMMON WITH THESE PEOPLE!!! And, who the hell knows...I might just be the last to know...LMAO!!

One last thought...don't be passive...don't get in the habit of using avoidance as your main tool in coping with certain situations...take problems, people, and issues head-on!! AND lastly...before you ask questions, make sure you are prepared for the answer...no matter what it is...Before you ask advice, ask yourself...DO I REALLY WANT THIS ADVICE??? If you can't accept the answer, or if you don't want the advice, keep your damn mouth shut!! DAMN! Just think PEOPLE!!!

My last thoughts: I am devoting my time/energy to nurturing those friendships worth salvaging, new friendships, and to free myself up for new love, like oh, the love I have for Robb...
