thoughts

i wasn't really thinking about blogging today. but i was thinking about this past weekend, and some of the things that happened. nothing that i would call an epiphany, but definitely insights into how i've been feeling.
you know, the whole "my heart is broken" thing :)
it's not that i'm past it, and i'll probly have a few drunken nights wallowing in it again. ( like 2 weeks ago last friday, lol )
but, i think i'm having some clarity, and alot of acceptance now.
not that it is important to anyone but me.

friday and saturday were desperately lonely for me.
and before i met her, i wasn't what i would call lonely.

alone yes, but i had settled into a routine, with my kids, and other stuff of my life. i was a bit cluttered, and my abode reflected that, and still does. but the first 2 days of the weekend, i was seeking someone to distract me from my loneliness, and i texted and called quite a few people.
and nobody, absolutely nobody, was available. few even answered.
it was like my phone and email were blocked. lol, dang universe.

so, after those 2 days, i kinda looked at myself, and thought "that's enough".
time to accept what the universe was showing me, once again.
"be comfortably alone, and know that you are not truly alone"
loneliness is thinking you are missing something, that you have an empty spot inside.
some people fill that with "stuff", drugs, religion, sex, whatever... but, i haven't. well, occasionally, but not too often, and it's not my "pattern". ( don't get me wrong, i DO obsess. my monkeymind goes bananas pretty often )

sunday was fantastic, got to play futsal with friends from the soccer club.
gave my old sambas to a kid, so he'd have "soccer shoes" for next week.
then us oldmen went to the mancave and had a couple beers.
then, since it was my "cheat day", i went and had blueberry pancakes.
( and continued cheating most of the rest of the day )

end result: not healed, but healing...
and i think my head's back in the "right" place for me.
i can accept that she doesn't want me in her life, and i can still love her.
and i know that whatever the universe has planned for me, is a good thing.
cuz i've always believed that things happen for a reason.

other women will match my "shortlist", and fate will place our feet to meet.
intelligent, well-read, athletic, spiritual not religious, and truthful.
likes movies and a great BLT, lol.

and i started "decluttering", which was my new goal, 5 minutes a day!
