Would You Choose Me, If You Could?
It’s no surprise that relationships of any sort take work; however, when they take effort to accept what you know you deserve more – what, are you really involved in? Are you selling yourself short? Some would immediately say yes, yet, to only make their own sacrificial choices. Remember, cast…
Missed Moment or Moment Missed
Last night I spent a great deal of time speaking with a very handsome man. I had wondered if he had interest or if he was seeking conversation with someone other than his travel mate. We spoke of past relationships, where we are now, the B-52’s and photography. It was…
MIMNCA
2 Different states, 2 potential countries… where will we meet up? Will it be blissful? Will it be what we’ve both tempered to dream of? Questions asked; however, far too early to answer. Is this the beginning of the love story to end all others? Will she see in him,…
Waiting…. Tempering Expectations – Excited
It’s very easy to ‘say’ you’re thinking rationally; however, the uncontrollable excitement cannot be easily controlled. We all want to be able to give someone a true chance by not over-thinking too much, dreaming up scenarios and creating a vision of what it all will be like, yet, when you’ve…
Our Story Begins…..
It’s much too soon to be using the word ‘our’ with much more meaning than it involving 2 ; however, against better judgment I’m going to begin ‘Our Story’. We have yet to meet in person, yet, through various forms of communication we’ve established a strong baseline. There’s a bit…
First, Second, First, Second – Yes, No, Yes, No – STOP!
Relationships are as unique as the people in them. There are some that make complete sense as to why you’re in them and others that indicate you must have a whole box of screws loose to even remotely have your toe dipped in. Which are the most prevalent? The latter….
As I Say
I love the word audacity; however, rarely have the chance to use it in general talk. Luckily, I have a situation in which to write about it. “It is the way it is, there’s no changing it.” “This is what you signed up for…” “Make the elephant feel comfortable, clear space and…
Isn’t It All Temporary?
Recently someone told me that our relationship was ‘temporary’. I had to do everything I could to remain calm; however, after I had that not always taken ‘time-to-think’…. I realized how true that was. Life has a way of showing us just how ‘expendable’ we are. We all know that…
Chattanooga, TN
I’m still furious that the flags were NOT lowered and when I am furious – I write, here’s another CountryClaire original. I did not know these heroes and just recently learned their names For they never sought the glory nor hungered for this fame Each name represents a tragedy that…
Chance, Choice or Fate
Most fairy tales are just that, tales; however, true love does exist, yet, it rarely entails singing birds, dwarfs or potions. It starts when a man and a woman happen upon one another in this populated packed portal. Here’s where our story begins… similar to most love stories, this did not…
Queen
You were a queen! Your memories reveal that you were a powerful and enchanting queen in your past life! You were seductive, romantic, strong, determined, and a true lover of the arts. You were admired by your kingdom and relentlessly pursued by the all the men (and even the ladies!)…
Future Missed
With the entire December album of George Winston playing in the background I write this. Thanksgiving being the first song. The holiday itself is about sharing, time with family and taking your stomach to task. As I listen to George display his talent, I wonder about my ‘special purpose’ as…
By My Side
All too often people write about the misses of life, the opportunities that have passed or how they never opened the door meant for them. Society is more interested in the demise of another versus the stories of triumph, success or reached goals. It’s such a very sad thing that…
The Girl, Not A Girl
Any girl is ‘a girl‘; however, ‘the girl’ is the goal I have. Recently, I said this to someone. Not that I was expecting him to just up and love me; however, the situation caused me to say something. I’ve been a girl in many situations; however, I have yet…
Perception
It Can’t Be Done
She asked that he walk away He said; it can’t be done He asked that she stay She said; it can’t be done Can their love go astray It Can’t Be Done Anything worth anything comes with challenges; however, when forced to evaluate risk versus reward, the person who has…
Day 13 of 365
You passed. You are good and Loving You’ve probably heard it a thousand times (or maybe a little less) but there’s no harm in telling the truth like it is. You have the kind of love inside you that is fueled by purity and honesty. You rarely hold grudges and don’t…
Day 11 of 365
No sigh guy. During a brief closer cohabiting period there were a lot of deep breaths – a lot! Short of wondering if there was a gasping issue all I could ascertain was that someone was just a bit antsy about the extra footsteps in the hallway. Lots of sighs…to…
Day 10 of 365
Things are getting back to normal! Calls, calls, calls and more calls; however, this is what we/he’s been waiting for. Normally, I feel a titch guilty when the phone rings and I know he has to brave the elements, whereas I get to stay snug as a bug; however, after more…
