Two Great Loves and Lots of Shoes

Disclaimer: These are not my shoes

While watching my favorite show, Sex and the City, the question came up about great loves and how many you have. The general answer is two. When Carrie realized she had her two great loves, Big and Aidan, she thought she needed to stop. "Here Lies Carrie, She Had Two Great Loves and Lots Of Shoes".

Like I said before I've been in three "serious" relationships (I say "serious" because I'm not sure how "serious" they were about me). I am not sure if any one of those would be one of my two great loves. Although there's a slight possibility one might have been. I'm not sure when you realize someone is a great love. Is it the same for everybody or does an individual make their own rules. Do you get butterflies? Does a great love make you giddy? Do your knees get weak? Your palms sweat? Or is everything normal? How long does it take for you to know it's great love? Do you know after a month, six months, a year, two years? I have had butterflies. I've been giddy. My knees have been weak. It had been short lived. Does that mean it couldn't be a great love? Man, this whole thing is confusing.

I like the simple things in life, like shoes. I love my shoes. I know how I feel about my shoes. I can count on my shoes. My shoes have always been there for me when I need them. I don't have to question the way I feel about them. When I bring a shoe into my life I know I can depend on it. It goes into my closet, where it belongs and stays there until I need it. When I need that shoe, it's there (now sometimes there is some digging involved to find it, some shoes are so shy). My shoes do not get jealous of each other. My sliver Toms don't tell me I'm spending too much time with my flip flops. Forget the crazy cat lady, I believe I will be the crazy shoe lady.

Let's get some things straight

First thing's first, don't think I will type something every day, I won't. Secondly, apparently some folks think I am not happy. That is totally not the case. I know I did at one point in my post last night refer to this point in my life as a "season of sadness". I did not mean necessarily mean I am sad and you should feel sorry for me (or offer up your advice on finding a man). This year has sucked. And it has nothing to do with a man. I am content as I am. It took me 30 years to like myself and the person I am and I will not start feeling sorry for myself again. Yes, there are times it would be nice to have a man. It would be nice to have a relationship, someone to spend time with, and someone to share life with. However, I know what I want. I know what I don't. And I know what I will not settle for. I will not settle for less than what I want or less than what I deserve. I would rather be alone and unha...

Last year during a book study at school we were reading The Energy Bus by Jon Gordon. One of our assignments during our study was to pick one word for our year which is also based on a book, My One Word by Mike Ashcraft and Rachel Olsen. Long story short, instead of making a resolution for the New Year. You pick a word. If you go here you can read about that. Basically, here is a simple three step introduction. Step One: Determine the kind of person you want to be. Step Two: Identify the characteristics of that person. Step Three: Pick a word. Last year, I picked the word consistent. I felt that I did a good job being consistent. I started thinking about what word I wanted to use for 2019. I have been thinking for a few weeks. I have still been thinking about the person I want to be this year, and for every year for that matter. I have thought about those characteristics of that person. And today, on th...
