Hopeless romantic

Can a hopeless romantic be married and happy? I am beginning to think not. I think we have this ideal in our heads and when reality crashes in we feel betrayed and hurt by the one who was supposed to be our ideal! By the time we recover it is to late to save what ever there was of the marriage. When both are hopeless romantics and both have different views well it just becomes hopeless. Specially when one is not willing to see that there is a problem.

Acceptance

How do you take yourself from the feeling of not being wanted and being depressed to acceptance. anyone with suggestions please pipe in. :)

Right now where I am at I feel that change in a huge way is the only way to escape the feelings I have. So this blag is not going how I wanted, because I first need to get out of this funk (deep dark abyss) and be able to live again.

Life is funny

Life is funny. You make choices that at the time seem the right choice, but then years down the road you wonder "was that the right choice?". It seems that there is always one or two choices that stand out as the turning points, that if you had chosen the other path things would be so much different. And it is hard not to think "What if...." What if I had done that instead of this. Sometimes your decisions come back to haunt you by way of an old friend/lover comes back into your life. You reminisce and realize that both of you look to the "one choice" as being where your lives went downhill and "If only...." If only you could go back in time. But now you are faced with a new choice, do you continue going down the path you are headed or do you veer off and try to capture what once "might" have been with the old.

WOW!

Didn't realize that it has been so long since I posted anything! I have mentioned before that I am not the greatest blogger.

Still reading Gone With the Wind. Though I am almost finished and could probably have it done be the weekend if I devoted the time to it. I am also reading Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult. I have The Elements by Ken Robinson in the line up as soon as I finish GWTW.

I have not been good at the exercise. I am as sporadic with that as i am with blogging, well a little more consistent with exercise. I am in the process of making a check list of daily activity.

I am much better about home-schooling Oblio. He is growing so fast and is is full of curiosity. Lately his favorite thing to do is take things apart. He loves to discover how something works or just how it was put together. He does try and put them back together also, and does very well. As spring approaches, we will be getting outside more and enjoying the desert.

Photography is doing fine. I made a calendar for Oblio. Ordered it through LuLu.com. Nice quality, the only con I have is that the wire binding has gaps that allow the pages to fall off easly. I am going to sew it so that the pages wont fall off.

It is a new year!

I really want to be a better blogger this year :).

Resolutions:
to exercise daily. I have the Wii that I have been enjoying. I have also been hiking a lot. A goal is to be fit enough by Spring Break so that I can hike the Grand Canyon, Rim to Rim. I am also going to enter a 5k run.

To read more. Last year i set a goal to read one book a month, well I am a slow reader and only finished 6. It would probably help if I choose smaller books t0 read ;). Right now I am a bit over half way through Gone with the Wind. A very good book!

My Photography: To continue improving my skills. To get the lights set up and to do shoots. 365 pictures of anything, that is one a day. 52 self portraits, that is one a week. 12 family portraits, that is one a month. Choose 3 groups on flickr and be an active member.

Other things that we will be doing this year.
Home schooling the boy. We have already started with a unit study on the Solar System. He loves it!

When I started this blog it was going to also be about my journey to good house keeping. Things are improving in that area, always need to improve on it.

I am going to aim for posting once a week. Because honestly I am a really bad blogger. :)
