Today marks the 6 year anniversary of me having met a person I’ve been looking for for a very long time. One of those people that stay in your heart forever. I met the woman that eventually became my wife.
We have had an amazing journey since then. My wife had a little 7 year old [...]

@Paul_Holgorsen I guess you are talking about Swiss Chocolate? If I don’t have it it does indeed effect everything else in my life ;-) in reply to Paul_Holgorsen #

White is supposedly the hot color for cars. I still feel like getting a roll of red tape out & put red crosses on them. That’s just me ;-) #
@MegzyTred This is something I’d go for as well. For most cars it is silver, grey or black 4 me. I am a little particular in [...]

Since I was very young I envied people dancing and thought: “I wish I could do that”. I saw chemistry, joy, laughter & romance.
Every time I watched an old Fred Astaire or Gene Kelly movie I felt the urge to do something but ended up sitting in my chair – not signing up for a [...]

I am [...]

Ivan Lins said that he watched a lot of Disney as [...]

I can mainly think of two ways to throw life away:

Consciously, by taking action and leave the planet at once
Subconsciously by not living life to its fullest

Thoughts on option #2

I have many moments of loneliness. First there are conscious times of loneliness – created by choice.
Taking trips by myself
The benefit of traveling alone is that I get to decide exactly what I want to do. I am able to make connections with strangers without any restrictions of others impatiently waiting [...]

Our love affair has lasted since I began listening to music.
It has always been my favorite band and always will be. Nothing in life is for certain but I don’t see that ever changing.
