Miss Me Yet?

Yardwork, spring cleaning, purging the closest of clothes too large for me (yay), a computer meltdown (boo).  All things that have kept me from writing. Well, those things and the fact that I just haven't been inspired.

5 months after my world seemed to end, I'm still very hurt and angry. I've let go of the idea of Wyatt and I ever being friends.  Friendship is what HE wants.  Once again, thinking only of himself and not of me. He says that he always wants me in his life.  He had that and he let it go.  "Too bad, you blew it." Now he has someone else in his life and that is ok. They are two of a kind and deserve whatever "happiness" they create.

I, in the meantime, will continue doing what I need to to heal myself. I'm not ready for another relationship, but at least the idea of it doesn't make me ill anymore.

So, now for the next phase of this blog. I've lived with evil (and yes I do still define his actions as evil, maybe not intentional, but evil none the less).  Now is the time to learn to trust again. 

I look forward to making the most of this summer in my little mountain paradise. Hopefully, it will be inspirational.

NEXT TIME: "Dating in the New Millenium"

So What Else is New?

So, here we go again.  Another high profile couple brought down by lies and infidelity.  My 80 year old mother called and asked me, "Why can't men keep their pants on?"  I found it funny that she was actually shocked by the ex-governator's actions.

Cheating is nothing new that's for sure.  Historically, taking a mistress has been perfectly acceptable and in many cultures still is.  What seems to have changed are the way we have gone from despising "adulterers" to rewarding them.  Hundreds of years ago "unlawful fornicators" faced public humiliation.  Now what do we do?  We give them media attention.  Hester Prynne wore a scarlet letter .... Monica Lewinsky got a cameo on Saturday Night Live.

Will women come crawling out of the woodwork like they did with Tiger Woods?  I'm sure many will come looking for their 15 minutes of fame, and unfortunately society will give it to them.  Meanwhile, what about the family damaged by the selfish actions of two people (or more)?  It's hard enough to deal with the consequences of infidelity as a civilian much less as someone who is constantly in the public eye.

I hope that the media gives the family the privacy they need and  the public doesn't give attention to fame seeking floozies.  Like pigs flying and hell freezing over.... it's highly unlikely.
