I think my slowing up resolution came a tiny bit too late. Yes. I lost her. And I remember again why it is that no matter how much I want a family again someday (wife, kids), I am definitely not the biggest fan of the serious dating thing. The highs, well the highs are great, but the lows, especially that final low. Well, let's just say it hurts. A lot. Life goes on though, and hopefully from this will come a friendship. A very special friendship.
Remember that saying, "If you love something, set it free . . . ." Has that ever worked? I wish it did. Because what I lost today. Well, I don't know how great it was, but I saw a future there.
Anyway. In other, better, happier news. An editor read some of my work and wants to work on my book with me! This is beautiful. I know my ideas are interesting, and worthwhile, but my writing? Sometimes I wonder a little about how commercial, how salable it might be. I sent a sample to this woman awhile back and hadn't heard anything, but today, I received a letter back. A very positive letter, and frankly a step closer to publishing than I had really thought I would take. I am very excited. Imagine, my name on a bookshelf!! Could be a very beautiful thing. Certainly the realization of a goal for me.
I have to start writing more though. And better. Work. What wonderful work though. Just like this journal, sharing a piece of me. The audience might be bigger, and not such a true piece of me, but still . . . .
Wow! What if I got paid for it!! Lol. I can't wait.
Oh, the pics from the weekend. I was going to post them, but I have to wait a day or two. Just have a little trouble with them right now. But, I will post them. Soon. I promise.
I will post the results of the candy bar poll tomorrow night.
And that's it for now. Where's my beer!!!
