I have a damn cool life!

I was laying in bed this morning thinking about some of the things I have done in my life in order to post a game at the LL board on iVillage. It made me realize what a cool life I have lived so far and how much fun is yet to come.

I have posted in the past about how things have been hard in my life because of my mother's attitude towards me, but I realize that it actually made me a stronger person, and while not everything about my childhood was great, it wasn't half bad either. Your perspective definately changes as you grow older.

Yet the best is certainly Yet to Be! I have this incredible woman in my life now who makes me happier then I ever thought possible. We have had the last week to ourselves as her kids are off at grandma's for spring break and we got a chance to reconnect emotionally and physically and its been amazing! I use to shake my head and think it was all a lie when I would read about people being in Love and some of the things you were suppose to feel and do, but trust me, when you find the right person, its all true! Hehehe

Moonshadows is about the reflections of my life, but right now the sun is bright in my life, there isnt a shadow to be found. *grin

Haven't Blogged in forever.........

Yes, for those of you who still check this thing on occassion, LOL, I am finally blogging. Its not that I haven't wanted to, its just finding the time to do anything these days has been a challenge. All in all its been wonderful though, so I like to think of it as a good thing that I havent had time to blog.

My Son was here for a week in Feb. It was really cool. He is taller then I am now(barely hehe) but I am definately begining to see a young man. Its sort of amazing when I think about it. I just hope he finds something to focus on in his life. Right now he is so dispassionate about everything, but such is the life of a teenager right?

Arrrrrghhhhhhh, here I am finally having time to blog and I have writers block! I guess really more what it is, is its hormone time again and I am trying to keep the negative feelings in check. I really am trying to get a handle on this, though I think sometimes K doesnt think so. But 2 different doctors and I have discussed how it really doesnt make sense to go on daily drugs that may make me a zombie the rest of the month, just so I don't get so down in the dumps 2 days out of the month. I know I can do this. I come soo close each month and then usually blow it over one little thing that just hits me the wrong way. An old friend of mine who is bipolar, told me her trick is to watch for triggers and then avoid them if you can. I tried warning K this month, that it would be a hard weekend... may I can do better in April. I just hate that I take it out on K, thats not fair. Men can just ignore you when you go balistic, hehe, but your soulmate is much more intune with your feelings. We did promise that we aren't going to let our hormones come between us. That is helping alot. Knowing that she understands.

Well, I tried not to be a negative as I have in the past when I'm like this. Fortunately the 2 days are over know and I can feel myself coming out of it already. Its amazing how our bodies work sometimes. I am going to do my best to make this a good week for us. I am loving my Life now and want to enjoy every minute of it. I just have to remind myself that the bad days are part of the Ying Yang balance that is central to my life. And if I can strike a balance of 28 or 29 good days to 2 bad days every month, thats a pretty good deal!
