About Me

Just here for chat. Not into cybersex or guys that wanna know how big my dick is. Married for 16 years then I found out about men and how much fun they are. Met a great guy after the divorce and we're having a great time in a rare monogamous relationship.
                                                                                            


Every once in a while, I come across tidbits on the web that resonate with me. I think I'll try sharing them here and update them from time to time. Feel free to email me if you feel compelled to comment.
                                                               


This one struck me because I think the power to be happy or sad lies within each of us.  It's from DailyOM and titled: Finding Unqualified Happiness


If Only 


Since most of our experiences are rooted in cause and effect, we naturally want to justify our contentment. We envision grand circumstances, stating that if only we could achieve this goal or obtain that possession, we would finally be in a position to attain happiness. As a result, satisfaction is always just out of reach and the very notion of grabbing hold of it seems like nothing more than a pipe dream. But the truth is that sincere contentment and fulfillment are never wholly the result of external events or situations. Though life's joyful moments can ignite the spark of contentment within us, that spark is fueled by serenity long established in our souls. When we forget this, it is easy to become stuck in "if only" patterns of thought. If we concentrate on the natural serenity that exists within us, however, we can move forward unimpeded by disappointment. 

The circumstances you live through each day have the potential to bring both joy and despair into your life. Relying on the reactions they awaken within you to create an emotional foundation means living on a roller coaster of feeling whose course is determined by chance. Though you may yearn for the object of your desire-be it a new job, financial health, a partner, or some other symbol of success-you have within you the power to be happy without it. Letting go of your "if only" thinking patterns can be as easy as recognizing that inward emptiness cannot be dispelled with outer world solutions.
