How do you see yourself?
Oh, there's the mostly obvious.
Male
Female
Race
Height
Weight
Ethnicity
I see myself as a small-town girl who made one very influential decision that has shaped my life for the near entirety of it.
I'm average in looks, way above average in smarts. After my last official IQ test, the score was 189.
WHOA!!!!!
Although I'm a polyglot 5, learning languages is easy for me. Though I do have to apply myself a little, just a little! It's my bread & cream cheese, my needlework obsession enabler, my puppy kibble, my...............
I think you get the gist.
Recently, my blog stats have shown that my dear readers, that means you. YES YOU! My readers are from 70 countries! Seventy!
Hoollee smokes!
Never would I ever have thought that my writing, my musings of a creative sort would interest anyone that much.
Ah guess ah was wronngg.
Some of them might be scammers who are data mining.
Yeah, buddy, just try! If you enjoy wasting your time.
Having helped over 200 people to see through the stunts that scammers pull, I won't say no one can scam me. I can only say that they would have to work so hard to do it. It would probably take 6 teams a whole year.
One aspect of my life that would make it difficult is that I will NEVER hand over money to anyone I don't personally know & love unless I'm face to face with them in real life. In the flesh or no biscuit. Even then. I will only give, never lend.
No zoom meeting or skype or face time. Nope.
Plus, since I worked so much to be in a mindset of being happy being single & celibate since 2012, there is nothing any romance scammer could offer me that I would ever want.
Having my dream career, making enough cheddar to provide for myself, helps. Being just as happy in my own company as I would be if I had a romantic relationship is also a big help. Having PJ as company is such great joy for me. He is so smart, so sweet, so playful, loves me no matter what. Every day he changes just a little.
He constantly amazes me.
Some people have told me that the appeal of my blog is that I'm so sincere. That I'm very open without over sharing. I'll leave the over sharing to Val! Ha ha!
Maybe it's because I'm genuine as well as genuinely happy in a world where so many seek it, yet it eludes them.
Who I present myself as being in this blog is who I am in real life. During fauxvid lockdown, I gained weight that I'm still struggling to lose. Thanks to PJ, I have lost half of it. I cancelled my gym membership permanently. PJ keeps me very active. One hour at the dog park every day. He runs the length of the fenced in area. Sometimes I run it with him. Most of the time I walk it! A minimum of 10 times from the front gate to the back fence, sometimes even 20.
I'm on the Doberman Fitness Program.
Things that I love are:
Needlework (of course!)
Traveling (PJ goes where I go)
Chocolate
(My birthday is on July 14, decadent chocolate cake? YASSSS!)
Flowers from Hawai'i (Only the ones with a strong scent)
Star Trek - Anything to do with Star Trek!
The moon, it fascinates me!
Yoga
Meditation
The taste of cilantro - it gives me deja vu vibes - weird, huh?
Pet Peeves:
Wishy washy people
People who make promises you know they don't intend to keep
People who sound a horn instead of saying hello or coming to my door to get me. How lazy can a person be? Please don't answer.
People who are tech addicted, won't put their phone down.
Animal abuse
Child abuse
Any abuse of any living creature except house flies!
House flies
Cops who abuse their authority
Being transparent, it took a lot of work to get to this emotional - spiritual - psychological state of bliss. I struggled, tried then failed, made mistakes, also made some very good choices along the way. I'm grateful to the guy who broke my heart in August 2012. Having my heard broken so severely, it created my resolve to never let it happen again. Because I did allow it, I won't allow it ever again.
It's a choice.
This brings me to a note of gratitude. I'm grateful to the people all over the world who read my blog, who message me or don't message me. People who comment or don't comment. I write because it gives me pleasure. Although it does garner a bit of attention, I have never been one who wants or needs a lot of attention.
My social media is devoid of endless selfies of me making duckface for the camera. Never have videoed myself doing cool stuff or endless pictures of what I have for a meal or snack. It would get far more attention than I'm comfortable with. My youngest child keeps in close regular touch with me which I love. My other 3adult children have FB, Instagram, LinkedIn. I'm sure they were unaware that I know. That's fine for them.
It's very rare that I see them in person or even get a call or a card. Poring over their Instagram would hurt too much.
Being content to write, share photos of PJ & my needlework is enough for me. Enough for now.
Getting to this state of being took a lot of work. It was far from easy, yet it was so worth it.
