That's most excellent dayhiker! I am trying to think in terms of how other people view me somewhat. What I mean is for example, I'm going to that wedding. I am not comfortable with my figure, but it is what it is and I know other people will not be the least bit concerned with my figure so I quit dwelling on it, and I'm just going to go and be me!
Funny I was watching one of the "little" people shows. The Roloffs (I can't recall the name of the show) but for some reason it struck me that we cannot all be who or what we want to be. Like they cannot be tall and lean, and not everyone can be a supermodel or have that figure. And while they can't change who they are, they still exercise and live their lives. The guy has to walk with crutches and was having some serious pain on the show. So I have to accept I can't be who I want to be either. I can still strive to be the best ME I can be.
And then after I was reading this morning I was writing in my journal, and for some reason I was just so thankful that someday soon, we will not have to "strive" anymore. And what I mean by that is the kind of striving that makes us feel like we are on the treadmill and can't get off. It will be glorious and I can't wait!
As far as physical appearances go,my friend thinks that he is too fat to attract any woman. I said," M.....I am not going to buy that lie! On my singles's cruise,we are all in our late forties,fifthies,and some were in thier sixties. At the introduction party.all of us,within about 5 minutes,did not pay any attention to the outside of us. All of the women did not look like Barbie,and all of us men did not look like Ken.There was a guy who was bald,and he
weighed more than you. The women loved him.Why?,because he was a ......gentleman.We all asked the question ,"Why can't we find friendly and accepting singles, like our group,at home?"
Speaking for myself,I can have just a good of a time at a local dance,as I can have on a cruise ship. But,on a cruise,more people are enjoying themselves. One,lady,that I was dancing with on the eight and final night,told me,"S........I wished that I had met you earlier." I told her,"Well, I have been on this ship for eight nights,just like .....you."
Well today, eighteen days later,she e-mailed me telling me how much she enjoyed cruising with me. The best thing is that she also lives in...........California.
So,I am getting a new heart also. Just because a lady tells me that she is not interested in me,it
does not mean that I am ugly. And,if she
is attracted to me,I just hope that she is not.......married.
