With Valentine’s Day 15 days away, I have decided to have a Love & Relationship series for the next two weeks. At the beginning of February last year I opened up my blog focus to include relationships, starting the topic expansion off with a similar series.
It will be interesting for me to write on the topic next month, comparing it to my thoughts a year ago. I was in a relationship with someone who was not a good match for me on many levels. I was several months out of a destructive relationship and was still healing from that experience. I had been separated for over two years and was awaiting my court date to finalize the divorce. I was in a very different place emotionally than I am right now.
My Thoughts a Year Ago
- I had a list of qualities I was looking for in a man. It was a good exercise, which continued to be edited in the last year.
- I opined on the thought of remarriage.
- I wrote about successful relationships I see around me.
- I wrote I wasn’t sure love was forever on Valentine’s Day, which led to a 24 hour breakup with the guy who ultimately wasn’t a good match anyway. We really shouldn’t have put it back together, but it ended again, permanently, one week later.
This year I will write about my thoughts on Love & Relationships with another year of dating experience post-separation (and now divorce). I am not an expert, just someone who is an observer of my own feelings and the world around me. Come visit to agree or vehemently disagree; both will be welcome. Share your insight, offer up words of encouragement, and join the dialog.
Wednesday the 1st starts the 14 day series. I hope you will be here to read and share your thoughts. There will be Love & Relationship book reviews, my thoughts on relationships a year later, a guest writer, a relationship blog review, and more.
And, what I know this time around, is that I am with a man who won’t whine about my thoughts on my blog, but embrace this is who I am and where I am in my life at this moment. His feelings will remain the same regardless of what I write.
For that reason, I am off to a good start in this relationship series and in my life.
What a great idea! I was here for the first time around, interested to see how you feel on things this year. I’ll be reading!
Yes, you were around a year ago–both on my blog and privately. Love you for your continued support! So happy we met.
I am looking forward to this, I think you have good thoughts on lots of confusing feelings and topics and I will be waiting each day to see where you take me with your words. 🙂
Thanks Kir!
Looking forward to it!
I am glad you will be here these next two weeks!
I look forward to reading the posts. I personally hate the holiday, but I have been in your shoes. Though I’m still single, I know how feelings on relationships can change over time. I’m glad you are in a better place and relationship now.
Thanks! Glad you will be here these next two weeks. I bashed the holiday last Feb 14th, which led to the guy I was seeing to break it off temporarily with me. It will be an interesting two weeks.
I’m pretty sure that one or two of the very first posts I ever ran across of yours were from that set of posts a year ago. I’m looking forward to hearing your revised perspective.
Well then I am really excited for you to join in these next two weeks. I guess we could say we are having our own private anniversary! One year of knowing each other on my blog!
Enjoying your thoughts as always and looking forward to the next couple of weeks especially. David
Thanks! It should be a fun two weeks for me to reflect over the last year, see where I am now, and write about it. Love the two books I will be reviewing and other sites I will be sharing. Should be a great couple of weeks here. That’s my plan, at least.
I am curious to see where you will go with this. Looking forward to it.
Thanks! I look forward to you being here these next two weeks.
