blonde poker forum

would have just added to the old thread, but guess this belongs in the lounge now......

Anyway, not wishing to only update when things are bad, I thought I’d say a few words about where I am now.  I’ve been in my new place now for a couple of months.  It’s not the smartest flat in the world, but I feel really settled here and it already feels like home.  My daughter is here with me every other week, and she has adapted amazingly – she really is a superstar.  On the weeks I don’t have her, it goes without saying that I miss her tremendously, but I am also relishing the time spent in my own company, which only reinforces to me that going my own way was 100% the right decision for me.

Also, as some of you are no doubt aware, although it was certainly not in my plans (but who does plan these things?) I’ve been seeing someone new for the last 10 weeks or so.  It sounds a silly thing to be saying at my age and this early on in the relationship, but I am head over heels in love, and feel like a teenager again.  I honestly never thought someone else could make me feel this way, and it’s something I’ve not experienced before, which also confirms to me that things before just weren’t as they should have been.  To be honest, I always thought the concept of ‘Mr Right’, and ‘you’ll know when you meet him’ was a load of old cobblers, but I’ve now had to change my cynical outlook in that respect ;D  Things are moving necessarily slowly due to distance and, most importantly, not wanting to embroil my little girl in any further changes at present, but I’ve got a great feeling that my future is going to be incredibly happy.

I really feel like I’ve come out the other side now – thanks to everyone who was there when I was going through the rough times – it really meant a lot, and I owe a few people a drink at the next blonde bash.  For anyone else going through anything similar (and I know there are one of two of you who contacted me by PM), I just want to say that, however difficult and daunting things seem, please be true to yourself and you can be happy.

Onwards and upwards, and looking forward to a great 2008 (with a big smile on my face :D)

It's always nice when a tragic tale turns the corner. Very happy for you and I hope the new road is very straight and makes you very happy.
