Well, I think that was hiatus enough for any. I'm back, after much chiding, mostly by my own conscience. A few friendly reminders from Wisp didn't hurt, either. In any case, the current situation in which I find myself is thus: Life have become exponentially difficult, of late. What with the scam situation, (See Wisp's blog for much clearer details than I could give) the various job applications, trying to make things work when the box only had half the puzzle. So, after much painstaking assembly of what puzzle pieces were contained therein, onlookers yet demand the rest of the puzzle be brought together. With pieces that I don't have. I don't know where to acquire them. It seems like all of the wealthy and successful people in the world all have this book, this manual, of what to do to be that way. Was there some college fraternity that I wasn't aware of that teaches you all the right things? Introduces you into all the right social circles? It almost smacks of aristocracy, the way it's treated by some of it's members.I'll tell you one thing I know for sure. We're all US until money hits the table. Then suddenly there's a THEM. I don't understand the division. At the heart of my life, though, is my strength. My rock. My stability throughout the storm. My wife. The strongest, most beautiful creature I have ever laid eyes on. And she's OK with the fact that the boat that is my life is small. It's easy to turn, maneuverable. It can survive the harshest waves. And after all, the Titanic tanked on it's maiden voyage...

What I've noticed about people who are rich (and made themselves that way, not the inheritors) is that they are either a) extremely good with money and understand it very well or b) care more about money than anything else, including family, friends and God. They usually realize how much more important these latter things are AFTER they have made all their money, and 99.999% of the time AFTER they have lost all of them. You already know what's more important, which means you will be happier then most of them. And some study I read about somewhere said that the majority of people get more and more depressed in correlation to their pay going up, starting around 100,000. Not that I wouldn't mind having that. ;) Anything under that, and you're happier than they are.
No worries, baby. Though this little boat makes the voyage difficult, I wouldn't trade for all the yachts in the Caribbean. We'll weather our storms and now and then we'll come along beautiful reefs and things will be okay for a while. This thing has two oars for a reason, and I'm going to help row us home.
And I never really liked puzzles that much, anyway. ;)
Welcome back :) I am sorry things have seemed so rough for you lately. Sounds cliche' but life isn't meant to be easy. You have something so precious, worth more than all the money anyone could possibly have. People search thier whold lives for a glimps of what you have. You have experienced love. You have an unconditional acceptance from that fabulous creature that takes you no matter what. That, my brother, is worth more than any other thing in the world. So make a matching set of paper pirate hats and sail into a gorgeous sunset in your little boat, breathe deep and take in heaven. ~ always your twin
Ditto on Poet! So glad that you have such a great rock in your life, and don't ever forget the Other that is there to hold Both of you up! You're setting sail on another great leg of the journey now!
