3rd time might actually be the charm



I realized something yesterday. Happiness is a long road. One that includes a lot of turns and pauses needed to find our correct location. Yesterday marked my Aunt Vera’s 3rd marriage and for the first time in a long time I saw my aunt truly happy. There she stood in front of friends and family marrying a man she truly loved, her daughter giving her to him to share. For as long as I can remember my aunt Vera has been searching for the perfect love in the process she found 2 men who couldn't really love her the way he needed to and a daughter who would love her for an eternity.

This new man in my aunts life loves her for who she is and as any good match should he loves her not to correct her but to stand beside her as she grows each day.

While at the wedding I also watched my great uncle Harry sit beside his new girlfriend a woman he cares for deeply as was evident from the look of happiness in his eyes which is way we all understood, that at the age of 66 only a few years after losing his wife to a disease that took her memories before her life, he has allowed himself to find love again. It would seem that although his love is one of companionship rather then passion for the two of them have lost there first soulmate it is also a love friendship and perhaps those are the best types for they stay in our lives long after loves of passion leave us.

More then anything else i learned that happiness comes into your life when it comes and who are we to judge or place timelines on when and how a person is allowed to find love. As for me i'm content knowing that for today i have the love of family and friends in my life and that someday i hope i'll find a love that last within us both long after passion has ended.

a night in the dark

So the power company decided to turn my small town off last night from 10pm to 5:30am a full 7 hours of darkness. The time in the dark made this insomniac wonder what people did before TV , radio, computers, and the Internet . Was reading by candlelight all that appealing? Or was this why birthrates were so much higher before electricity Somehow I doubt it the former... In other news my weekend was yep you guessed it uneventful. A couple hours at work on Saturday fallowed by sushi with my family then an evening of dinner drinking and darts in the OC and for a little bonus getting pulled over at midnight after leaving the bar without getting a ticket. Sunday was breakfast at Fullerton and sleeping for the rest of my lazy Sunday one day I'll have a productive weekend but for now... My weekdays are so busy that I think I'm allowed a few lazy days between Friday night and Monday morning. And on that note as it is now officially Monday and our hero sits in an overly crowded tr...

Last day of a journey

Today dear readers marks the last day of my la training. Ill be taking my series 66 tomorrow then assuming a passing grade I head back to the brabch and start the online course my job requires to be a real live stock broker and after all those lovely steps ill be ready. ready for what? I've no idea anymore but right now it just feels good to be so close to finishing one quest in my life and to be starting another. I think if this time in la has taught me anything its that I can do more then I think and that hard work and studying all day is a painful process. What I'm yet to know is if it is worth it... Sadly I don't know what tomorrows results will be a passing score seems posibly and hopefully I will be all done with this madness soon.

Well readers I best get back to the scenery got a air pur...

twas the night before comic con

Twas the night before Comic Con and all through the house a geek girl was giddy and not about a mouse. The car had been gassed up and waiting for its fare, in hopes it would speed up the arrival there. The passes were printed and itinerary reviewed all that remained was waiting for the stupid sun to move. But as minutes felt like  hours she waited in anticipation for 6am to arrive to head out to her favorite destination. But like most yearly traditions that take so long to arrive this evening was dragging at least in her eyes. So instead of sleeping or doing something productive she decided to blog about her insomnia induced nuttiness. With that being complete one thing remains to be said Happy Comic Con to all now time for me to try and get to bed.
