Happy 7th. Anniversary My Love...Where Are You...???

Humph! I had to celebrate our 7th. Anniversary - Alone! My Lovee had made plans to visit family in Alberta, and deliver a classic 1962 Buick LeSabre for a friend at the same time. At least he was with me to celebrate Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year) with my Family. That was, to me, more important. We exchanged cards the night before he left - and, just to make him feel REALLY GUILTY (good Jew that I am), I surprised him with a bouqet of Roses. We didn't even take a photograph, as I usually do, to add to my Tribe Profile. I am using a romantic pic. instead. So, on the night of our Anniversary, I heated up a gourmet Swanson's Turkey Dinner with all the fixin's, and had a nice large glass of white wine. So there!!!

My Dreams of Romance Never Ends

I am an "Endless Romantic", I warned my Lover when we were "just Boyfriends". He is 13 years my senior, and came from a very different relationship before I met him. Me? I love the "Big White Wedding" (I had one once - to a lady - oops)... the party, the pomp and circumstance. I just love a happy reason to celebrate Life for Good Reasons - and what better reason than to share your Heart completely with someone else, with no hesitation, no fear, and no appologies? I am a lucky Man, I know that.

Finally -> Fireworks Between Men...!!!

Finally! "Fireworks", - i.e. - Love - between Men, is "Out of the Closet", and featured in Katy Perry's video "Firework". She is referring to a Beautiful Sense of Power, Strength and Belief in Oneself. I was absolutely shocked to see two men engage in a kiss, and it just gave me shivers, happiness, pride, and relief. Maybe, just maybe, Progress is being made in our World after all: Love between two people - ANY 2 people - is a Beautiful Thing.!!!

Our 6th. Anniversary

We celebrate another year together. Wow, time goes by faster as I grow older. 6 years now we've been together. I guess he'll keep me! I have not been an easy Man to Live with, but, and easy Man to Love - yes. Go ask him yourself! (chuckle). He puts up with me. Well, I "put up with him", too. No-one is "perfect" - there is no Perfect Partner. But, my Lover is the closest I think I will meet, so I have NOTHING to complain about!!!

Spiritual, in Body, Mind and Soul

Just a short entry here. This image is how I have grown into myself, as a full adult, a Man, a Gay Man, and all the Labels that can and do apply to me. Whatever. I am bolder and stronger than I have ever been, for myself. But I'm "done" growing yet. One is never "done", as my very wise 95-year old Grandmother says to me. To quote her, she says to me: "You never stop learning". How very true.

Just a Proud Country Man

I'm just a Proud Man living in the Country...now. I left the Big City 6 years ago, because I was finding it hard to develop and mature, with all the Gay Discractions that the city has to offer... (" the Circus is always Open"). Moving away from it all helped me focus where and whom I want to be in Life, both for myself, and with my Partner. I visit the city once in a while, for the GLBT commaraderie, and, that is now enough for me.

Another Happy Year Has Passed

Our Fifth Anniversary has just passed. My partner and I are13 years apart, but it does not seem like that. We have so much in common; our values. However, we love to talk with each other and share ideas and concepts about Life. I never knew I could find someone who cares for me so much, and sees me for my "True Colours", as Cyndi Lauper sings. More, later....

I Want To Be Here, Right Now....

This image above is where I want to be Right Now. A place of calmness, serenity, quiet and peacefulnes. Some things about me just don't change when I am frustrated with Life (or when I feel I have lost control again of some basic things).... and, although I now understand why I tear myself to shreads by default, still have trouble looking into the mirror just to trim my beard. At least I have a supportive partner, whom insists that he will not "throw me out". That, is True Love.

Another Birthday and New Begining.....

So I just turned 41. Well, this Birthday party, I have grown up a bit. No over-doing it with the eye-makeup, nor drinking just a wee bit too much, (like last year), sluring my words at my own party. This past year, I have continued on my road to Self-Improvement, by (1) not doing things that hurt myself, and, (2) learning the difference between lbeing Responsible and being Obessed with Worry. REMEMBER THIS: Count Your Blessings. That is so helpful, when you are feeling like a "Loser". I have a Man who loves me to no end, a nice car, a lovely home, a loving family, loving friends, and, now, a cat! Sure, I'm still a "starving artist", but I am "Rich" in so many other areas. I must stop complaining to myself about how I have not met my own unreasonable expectations. The only Perfect People with Perfect Lives are those found on television. (O.K. - now blow out the candles before the fire brigade shows up!)

Rediscovering Spirituality

At this time in my life, I now have a clear head to rediscover my Spirituality. That would surprise many according to my profile here, but this is true. Recently my partner asked me "Does G-d speak to you?" I was silent for a full minute. Before I could even answer him, I thought "I'm going to Hell, because, no, I do not think so" - all this secretly in my head. Well, I'd like to believe that he does, I have been so preoccupied and frazzled in Life in general, for many reasons, that I have not had a clear head to LISTEN to him. I am working on changing that now, so, let's see what happens...
