Continuing On

March 4, 2013

I have returned from spending two weeks at home in Vegas with my family and friends.  Vacation time at the beginning, sandwiching in work in the middle and vacation time at the end.

My sweet sister was married to her sweetheart.  It wasn't the first time for either of them at the "rodeo" we call marriage, but it was the first time I got to see my sister marry.  So beautiful, so charming, so radiant...yes, I'm prejudiced towards her.  Princess was the maid of honor...and I was the pack mule at the end of the ceremony/reception bringing gifts back to her home (just teasing Buffy).

I did some work meetings in the middle, and as the time wore down, Princess and I drove to Anaheim, CA to spend some time with some friends...yes Mickey and Minnie, and some friends we'd made 25 years ago.  We had a blast seeing old friends and talking like we'd just parted ways about two days ago, and Princess and I got along in spite of the pending divorce...still not final yet.

I can truly say without guile that I'm the luckiest man in the world.  A great and loving family, Audrey (passed), Rich, Christy, Bert, Russell, and Dad and Susan (Mom passed in 2008).  And throw in Princess and her parents and I'm beyond the moon and stars blessed.

My road hasn't been easy over the past 2.5 almost three years, but I'm happy.  She's happy.  And it shows.  Princess has lost well over 30 lbs exercising and dieting...she's catching up to my 40 lbs weight loss, and we are still good friends.  She's an amazing person, so all you straight guys...go look her up and don't be afraid to dance with her and get to know the most wonderful, awe inspiring amazing woman on the planet.  Princess.

Time....where does it go?!  I remember as a child how long it took to drive from Henderson to Las Vegas and complaining and whining.  Fast Forward, and I can click along at a good pace in my car, on foot or on bicycle...and also through life.

I started this blog to keep track of my Complex Life post divorce from my wife and accepting my sexual identity as a gay man.  I haven't been very good at writing down my thoughts and my expectations for my life.  Instead, I have relied on social media which for some reason has turned nasty over the past 4-8 years.  Today, I took a break from Facebook to see how I could live without it.  I still have instagram which I can control better and I like posting pictures better than writing posts only to be judged by my "friends".  Here, I can control who gets to post comments, so I don't have to tolerate a lot of negativity.

With Time, it is precious!  I'll come back and record more (now that I've recovered my password, getting in should be so much easier).

Peace and Love to Everyone,

James
