ok, silly, silly me. I'm anxious to receive a call or email from Robert and didn't hear from him all day yesterday, I said to myself, 'Uhhhh ok, Joyce now you really sound like your old teenager'! Oh that woke me up. I calmed down and realized that use to be one of the triggers when I was younger would cause a downer mood in me, causing either a binge with food or drink, and give up. HA, not this time. Not hearing from a guy in a day, lol after the lovely date we had and his past email saying he was 'moonstruck' oh even if it is not going anywhere or if it was just a line, it does not matter. I had fun, I would enjoy seeing him again, but I am not going to push it, what happens will happen. And there is so much more in my life and to my life than just that. It helps me appreciate the other things that bring a smile to my face and embrace them; this morning, thinking about my son coming home from Japan next month; SMILE. Thinking about his new bride coming home to met me in person for the first time from China in September; SMILE. Thinking about my dog this morning so excited to hear me say 'good morning' to her; SMILE. The purring cat on my lap right now; SMILE! Thinking about all my freinds on FS BC; SMILE and thinking about how good I am being to ME; BIG SMILE :-)

It's not silly...it's real! We were created to CARE - to FEEL - and you are just responding to real and genuine emotions inside you. Being a little anxious, excited, a little anticipation of the next time you hear from him...well, it goes with the territory when you have those butterflies with someone new. But redirecting your thoughts to appreciating YOUR life and YOUR world - regardless of when, how or if you hear from him next - is GENUINELY HEALTHY! Good for you, Joyce - you make me SMILE :).
