So glad it is the weekend.
So hope it is a good one.

Yup, me too.
the journey for happiness.
My friend Lee took off on a summer long European journey. He has been keeping a blog filled with amazing pictures from all of his places and I have enjoyed watching his trip.
Today I caught up with his blog when I found this buried within an entry. It was so refreshing to read—a guy who has everything (smarts, looks, dinero, kindness, ambition, humor, etc)…yet who has started to question what/why/who he wants to be and what really will determine his happiness…I think we can all relate to the journey within ourselves where we learn what defines happines within our own lives.
I am so proud of him for this…I can’t even put it into words.
“It was right there, at that moment where it all hit me square in the face…I miss home. WTF am I doing traveling around Europe, by myself, in the middle of summer, when everything I know and have ever known is waiting for me back in the states? Was I running from something? Was I looking for something? Was I looking to just get outta dodge and break free? The questions just kept coming; I had no answers other than a resounding “NO” to every one of them.
Believe me, the last thing I would have ever expected in my life was to wake up one day…40 and single…and in Chisinau?? Am I tired of being alone? That’s one question I’m starting to have to answer with a Yes. Maybe that is what’s eating me and prompted this trip. I was too busy working and living to realize that I was truly alone. I was too busy planning to see the forest for the trees (whatever the hell that means). Didn’t someone once say that life is what happens while you’re busy making other plans? All this is probably going to sound sappy as all hell and I’m sure I’ll hear it from the boys via email, but it just has to be said. Maybe Christopher McCandless was right, although he realized it too late; Happiness is isn’t real unless it is shared.”
day 304.
I feel lonely and I don’t want to feel lonely.
I am 100% + happy. Could always be happier, but I feel like I just want a hug or a kiss…or someone to hold my hand.
And I HATE feeling that way. I love being single, for some reason on Sundays I just get the urge for affection.
The rest of the week flies by and I have a blast with friends, but for some reason on Sunday nights, I just wish I could be tucked in with someone cozy.
Maybe it is because for the first time in a long time there is no one for me to be excited about? Maybe the total emptiness on the dating radar has just left some type of small void that I didn’t realize was there because there typically are prospects?
I have NEVER been one to jump in (In fact I hate this, almost more than anything) to relationships or feel like I need one. And I don’t feel that way, AT ALL.
I just feel like it would be nice on a Sunday to have a kiss goodnight.
Ugh. I need to get over this. Stat.

Hot days and a cool dip in the pool always remind me of this movie.
