Ok folks, I have made a decision to stop using this journal. There is a lot of negative emotion tied to this one. Since I am starting a new life I have decided to create a new journal that will hopefully reflect a more positive attitude. This may seem foolish, but it is something that I just feel I need to do. I am also going to pare my new friend' ( Read more... )

Last night I went back and read my journal entries for the last couple of months. Before the first of June I had not revealed too much about my personal life. It seems that since that day I have done pretty much nothing else. The pity party stops today. Sorry about all of the whining. It has been a difficult time in my life, but I am beginning to ( Read more... )

I’m sitting here watching a good ole Alabama thunderstorm and reflecting on the past week. I know that it sounds like a cliché by my life has really been a roller coaster lately. Spent some time with my family. Got a lot of things taken care of (washed car, did laundry, paid bills, cooked and cleaned). Then Monday everything hit me and it was a ( Read more... )

I have finally recovered from a major computer crash! I thought that I had lost everything. With some help from my daughter and tech support I have managed to recover almost all of it. I missed all of you in LJ land. I know that I may not comment very much, but I really enjoy keeping up with all of my friend’s journals ( Read more... )

Vacation is over and it’s back to work tomorrow. I’ve been off for almost two weeks and it has been great. Most of it was spent lying on the beach in Florida. I really needed the ocean. Nothing seems to recharge my batteries like time at the beach does. The weather was mostly beautiful and the time spent with the family was wonderful. There were ( Read more... )

Pretty easy day at work today although it poured down rain all day. I am heading out for Mississippi in the morning for a couple of days. Hope the rain lets up.

I’m Going to pick up my new Daniel Moore signature edition print from my favorite art dealer in Oxford. Danny is one of my favorite artist to deal with. He’s a really nice guy as well as ( Read more... )

Laundry day! Whoopee! Really its not that bad. The laundry room here at the apartments is right next to the pool, so I put two loads in, then laid out by the pool. Moved them to the dryer and laid by the pool some more. Came back and did the hang up and fold thing. That Downy Wrinkle Releaser has to be the greatest invention of the 21st century. So ( Read more... )

Well she’s been gone almost a month. I am slowly putting my life back together. My brain tells me that I am better off without her, but my heart is still putting up a fight. The brain is starting to win. Thank God that I have a close family to support me. My daughter is my rock. Don’t know what I would do without her. Mom and Dad are always there ( Read more... )

I don’t usually post anything here of a deeply personal nature, but tonight I just feel the need to express what I am going through. After nine years together, seven of them married my wife and I are going our separate ways. It’s hard to believe that something that started out as almost a fairy tale love story could end like this. How we got to ( Read more... )
