Places I've been

The truth is I've been very few places in my life. Always planned to go but it never really worked out for me. No need for pity on that point - I don't feel cheated about it. Just completely unfulfilled. Not a bad thing - just the truth. Besides, the rest has been pretty OK.

More about me

Today is 2 days after Christmas 2009.  I decided to join this community a couple weeks ago because I wanted an avenue to talk and communicate with other people.  I don't quite know how to introduce myself to people I will possible never meet face to face but I look at it as a challenge.  I am the mother of 3 grown children (at least they think they are - sometimes I agree) and other than work and my mom and sisters and brothers, I really don't have very much outside activity except work.  I have very strong political views but really no one to discuss them with.  Although I'm more than impressed and satisfied with our new president, I don't really consider myself either republican or democrat. For me, it's not about the party so much as it's about what needs to be done to correct the problems of the american people - not financial people, not big business, not anyone else or any thing else.  I thought that's what the consititution meant when it says 'We the people'.  Yes, I know it's not what was actually going on.  They were not being inclusive but they wrote it down that way so that's what I keep wanting to see.    

My husband and I have been physically separated for over 2 almost 3 years.  We have the kind of differences that keep us apart but not loving each other.  We love each other but can't figure out how to be happy in the same house or, for that matter, in the same space for more than a couple days because of our differences.  I will admit that I'm very lonely but my choices are not acceptable.  Either I go back into a relationship that I know will be the same as before or I start over with someone else.  Neither is good for me.  If I could change and accept the stuff that he wants to do, I'd take him back in a minute.  And my husband sees nothing wrong with the way he behaves so I could not expect him to change.   And absolutely, I wouldn't know how to start over. 

My children are 30 (male), 21 and 18.  The girls are in college and doing well.  My son has had some set backs and the girls are still rebelling.  But this is the first Christmas we've spent together in over 10 years - all of us together.  It was great!  Even the fact that I have NO MONEY to buy anything didn't ruin it for me.  And that's saying something since I haven't had a truly happy holiday in a very long time even with money to spend.

 My extended family is a mixed bag as is everyone's.  At least the ones I know.  My mom is still with us and I've all except 2 of my siblings still living. We have miscellaneous issues throughout but we are maturing into an actual family quite nicely.  Yes, it's a little scary but if you knew from where we came you'd understand better. 

I have strong feelings about our criminal justice (just-us) system  and about health care and about how congress is set up 'not' to work and about the planet that's not being taken care of and about God and religious beliefs and about mothers and their children and about working in these here united states and about.... so many other things.  I would like to hear other's opinions and be able to write/say what I believe in an environment that is open and respectful. 

So anyway, I love movies - old movies are the best back to but not including silent movies.  I'm watching Here Comes Mr Jordan right now and enjoying it greatly!  I'm a reader.  I crochet and I'm about to teach myself to knit.  I'm not a physically active person - I work in an office at a computer - I do walk to and from the bus stop.  A diet buddy would be a great idea for me I think - someone not too far away - someone close to my age.  I never thought that before but I want to make this change for the rest of my life.  Eating heathily and more activity so that I can live a better life. 

The other thing I'd like is to find something that I can do for others.  Something not for me.  I've been thinking about it for some time but haven't taken any action.  This is a new year - a new decade.  I need something to occupy my time that's not about me.   I like the idea of 'paying it forward' but I can't find the thing to do.  I give money to homeless people, I help people cross the street and I do other things like that but it's not enough.  That's my goal for this year 2010. 

Well, that it.  It's enough for now.  Hope it's not too much...
