My Achilles Heal

  • First off, I apologize to my faithful friends on Xanga, Facebook and WordPress, as what I wrote in my last post was the result of serious misconstruances and misperceptions on my part.  I will not be in the sort of relationship I had thought, with the exciting, creative and highly intelligent woman I last mentioned.  She is very well attended, in that department, and that is all I will say.

    I met the gentleman in her life, some years ago.  I did not connect the two of them until tonight, but they are very much together, albeit laid-back and comfortable with one another’s independent leisure pursuits.  She did not come on to me, or in any way act unfaithfully to him, during our recent introduction.  The lady is just that awesome and just that full of so many wonderful qualities, including being gentle, vivacious and affirming of others, that I found myself totally smitten.  Thankfully, I never let her know just how much so.

    Women, and before them, girls, have always been my Achilles tendon.  This is just a wake-up call for me to be in touch with my own longing and vulnerability.  The upsides are that I am fine, that there is no heartbreak involved, no hurt feelings and no victim.  I still have a friend, in fact probably two.  He’s a nice guy with excellent taste.  I am around, to love another day.  You just won’t see me braying about being in love again, quite so quickly, no matter how awesome the woman is.  That’s a promise, and I fulfill my promises.

    Life goes on, and tomorrow, a very bright sun will shine.  I am still full-on, and all in- with life itself.happy

  1. This is a good thing that you found out and did not put your friendship with this wonderful person in an uncomfortable place.
    If it is meant to be someone will appear.

  2. Well, I’m sorry to hear that, but it’s good you found out early on.

    And like granny said, if it is meant to be, someone will appear.

  3. I’m sorry to hear that as well. You have a great attitude about it. And you know you are ready for love whenever it is able to be fully returned, so that’s a good thing.

    • The whole episode caused me to re-assess my travel plans and put the Canadian segment off until later. That is fortunate, given that I really need to replenish my coffers, during the first three weeks of August, instead of moving about.

  4. I admire you for having such a positive attitude about this, Gary. Life does go on and if you were meant to share your life once again with someone special, she’ll be at your heart’s door knocking before you know it. God Bless! ❤
