where’s the shame in it?

when did it get so fashionable to be ok with being lonely? isn’t it a natural human desire to have a mate and partner? therefore natural to feel loneliness when with out one........

right....?

wrong.

people seem to think us who can’t seem...for one reason or other....find our mate....that we should just be doing fine....not a care in the world. somehow there’s something wrong with you if your not ok with that.....if you are actaully lonely. ?

what are you complaining about? .......meanwhile those people have a human body to crawl into bed with at night...not just 4 legged furry one.

it makes no sense to me and i’m not gonna feel ashamed b/c i feel loneliness. i don’t need your pity....but i would like to say...yes....i want a mate...i want to feel love. fuck, doesn’t everyone??? (i'm such a romantic ;) hehe.

:)

sometimes you just have to break down and cry.....

that’s all....you just do.

sometimes all the best intentions and positive thoughts....go to shit...and that’s just all you can do.

momentary lapses are ok

still working on the positive thinking thing. it’s working pretty well....so far. i had a little lapse in jacob today...but it was momentary. even the little bit of rain in the last few days hasn’t dampened my spirits!

how long am i suppose to keep it up again? oh ya....all my life!? oh boy. ok that might be a tricky. lol

apparently at some point it's suppose to feel natural...reprogramming the brain.

the power of positive thinking....

i’ve been thinking about this alot lately...and today a film ani, rob and i saw today called “you can heal your life”...reminded me of that.

i’ve been scanning threw old blog posts to figure out were my negative thinking started to become more of a pattern for me....or more importantly what changes i have i made lately ....in last few weeks in fact.... to make myself feel happier and like vancouver alot better.

1. the sun..it’s been much more sunny....which enables me to be positive much more easily. i've noticed a pattern where i hate vancouver in the winter...like it in the summer.

2. excersice....going to the gym and dancing more....makes me feel better about myself and gives me more energy...which in turn makes me feel more positive about things.

3. possibility of change.....making things happen and having ideas on how to change things i’m not happy with in my life. the art auction was one thing that kinda woke me up to realize i have the potential for many things in this life.


:)

something....

i feel like all weekend i was waiting around for something to happen. something....not sure what...that never did. just one of those weekends i suppose.

a least ani and rob negotiations went well....they seem to work things out.....

odd weekend...so far

saturday night and i’m sitting at home watching iron chef having a glass or wine...instead of dancing in portland. it’s ok...somethings are just more important i guess.

rob and ani broke up friday....plus i never did find anyone to carpool with....so i decided to stay home and take care of ani. like she has done many times for me.

she stayed over late night and we had some gal time. right now she’s over talking to rob...hopefully they work it all out. if not...guess i have a roomy for a bit. that’s ok...she’s a great cook! hehe ;)




the other day i told you that i got a gift of a vintage harness for charlie....well today i noticed that there was this odd brass piece with on one end a little screw. couldn’t figure out what it might be. so i showed ani and she said, "it opens....i bet a dog info is inside...."

so we opened it up and indeed there was. i guess the harness use to belong to a little doggie named “pepi” ...i think that's kinda cool.

portland bound....or not?

trying to get to portland this weekend for the lindy exchange......but i’m having trouble finding someone to car pool with. so between the cost of the gas and driving for 5hrs alone after a 12hr day...not sure if it’s gonna happen.

i’ll be bummed if it doesn’t....only happens every second year and been looking forward to it....

i’ll keep ya posted.

perfect day of freedom

wanted to make today a relaxing day...and did.

here she is modelling the lovely vintage harness grant gave her....it fits her perfectly! :)

pink champagne..margaritas and collaborative lasagne



last night i had my little art auction dinner party celebration...i invited the people that helped me most with the art sale and also helped me out in my few broke months! it was really a nice party. the ani/jojo collaborative lasagne worked out pretty darn good! although my tummy is complaining from the wheat and dairy feast...not the mention the wine, margaritas and pink champagne!! we poped the vintage bottle that simon got me last year from france...it was very nice...thanks si!

....and thanks to everyone that came to help me celebrate!
