Chapter 11: Dark Side of the Moon
"I was not expecting that. That was seriously twisted!" The bartender poured a round of shots and the three prepared to drink. As they raised the glasses to their lips, the lights flickered and a ninja appeared, drinking out of the vampire's shot glass with a striped swirly straw. The lights flickered again and the ninja was gone, along with the alcohol in the glasses, the bow that was in Ryssa's hair, and a bottle of ketchup that was sitting on the counter.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" the vampire screamed as he desperately licked the empty glass. The lights flickered a third time and the glass disappeared, replaced by a large onion with a permanent marker sketch of a cartoonish angry face.
"I'm allergic to GARLIC, you jackasses!" The vampire screamed, searching the room for the scoundrels.
Ninjas from the legendary Troll Clan had recently started operating in the area, setting up an invisible dojo somewhere between the 10th and 11th floor of a local office building for a guillotine and french cuisine company. If you had enemies who you hated, but you believed hiring assassins was unethical, you could hire the Troll Clan to relentlessly bother your target in a passive-aggressive manner for a set period of time.
"I see you!" The vampire bluffed, glaring across the bar.
"Dammit!" A ninja disguised as a chair, a ninja disguised as a lamp, two ninjas disguised as coat racks, and at least seven disguised as decorative sphinxes abandoned their hiding spots, scurried around the room frantically and then vanished out through the windows.
"So what happened next? Did the Bacon Strip kill the dragon?"
"All I'll say is that he did try."
"Khvarikx, you die tonight!"
Sir Bacon Strip walked through the barrier, drawing his deceased sword, Atialysis, for the last time. His foe was a mighty and ruthless dragon, but it was badly injured from the constant summoning of minions. The wounds had all healed, leaving grotesque scars and patches where scales could no longer grow back. Of course, the most notable disfigurement was the mangled stub where the left wing should be.
"So you're the breakfast that has been causing me all this trouble?" the dragon inquired rhetorically (theoretically).
Bacon nodded.
"For once, I am not sure if I can win this fight," the dragon commented flatly. Bacon was unsure if Khvarikx was being sarcastic and it disturbed him greatly.
"I have a question for you, Khvarikx Hvitr. By what foul curse did you bind yourself into such an impractical form?"
The dragon slowly circled around the bacon strip in a wide spiral path, taking deliberate, calculated steps.
"I did the hokey-pokey and ripped the tag off an enchanted mattress in front of a mirror."
The dragon growled in annoyance, "Don't play games with me, lunchmeat." He tightened his circular pattern, drawing closer to the bacon strip. "Am I going to have to smack the dick out of your mouth?" A boiling hiss rose from his throat.
Bacon flipped to the right as a jet of pitch-black flame erupted from the dragon's mouth and scorched the earth. It was so dark it seemed to suck the very light out of the world around it.
"Ha! Dumbass! I'm a breakfast food, not a luncheon snack."
"You're the idiot! I eat bacon all day! I put bacon on sandwiches, tortilla wraps, salads, sundae ice cream, I don't even give a *fireball*! Everything!" The dragon roared angrily.
"I'm so hungry right now, I could eat all of those at the same time!" He swung his claws pouncing, narrowly missing Bacon as he jumped out of reach. "I'm going to clone you a thousand times and then a thousand more until I have enough of you to make BLT sandwiches for the rest of my life!" Khvarikx cornered Bacon against the walls of the barrier. "I'm going to grind you to pieces and then snort you like a line of crushed unicorn horns!" Bacon zipped up and slashed at the dragon's neck, but Khvarikx easily batted him away, bouncing him off the barrier in a flash of sparks and searing pain.
Khvarikx turned to face the bacon strip with a toothy grin. "Did I forget to mention that this is a trap? My bad."
Bacon shook his head. He had come too far to let his younger self beat him again. After so many empty years, he had finally discovered the value of friendship with Arukoru and Atialysis only to lose them because of this evil emperor. He had killed thousand of dragons as both a dragon lord and a humble bacon strip. There was no way he could fail now. He took a deep breath and charged, his sword held back, ready to behead his enemy.
Khvarikx swung his right hand down and across, attempting to catch the Bacon strip and grind him to dust on the stone floor. Bacon spun and swung up, slicing off the dragon's fingers and most of his hand. Khvarikx's eyes widened with shock and he desparately swung with the other hand. Too fast, bacon plunged the sword into the tendons under the dragon's left shoulder, disabling the arm. He ducked under the dragon and wrenched the sword, completely dislocating the shoulder. As he followed through, he whipped his blade through the dragon's knee, dismembering the leg. Suddenly, without the two limbs supporting his weight, the dragon staggered and caught himself with his remaining wing. He hobbled, trying to turn around and reaquire his target. Bacon gave the dragon no time to recover and counter, hacking through the dragon's abdomen, spilling out intestines, precious stones, blood, and lava. Unrelenting, he rose up and drove the sword into the creature's neck.
Then, all was still and quiet. A gentle spray of boiling crimson pulsed from the wound in Khvarikx's neck, coating the ground in a sticky mess. Bacon hovered in front of the dragon as it struggled to stay conscious and alive.
"Is this still a trap, Khvarikx Blakkr?" Bacon asked with a cocky grin.
The dragon took a few choking breaths and gagged up blood. It tried to wipe the blood away from its mouth with its mangled hand, but only added more and smeared it around. He opened his eyes and smiled, red slime dripping from his teeth. Without a word, he suddenly launched himself through the barrier, vaporizing himself in a horrid blast of sparks accompanied by the sound of nails on chalkboard mixed with steel bandsaws being cut to shreds by slightly stronger steel bandsaws.
The barrier shattered and its fragments collected themselves in a swirling cluster which rose into the night sky. It climbed higher and higher until it left the atmosphere and it was just a tiny glow that disappeared somewhere on the dark side of the moon. The moon looked strangely large that night, but it was always hard to tell due to the fact that the moon was still completely smashed--mainly a few large chunks surrounding a shrapnel/dust cloud.
That's when the moon began to transform.
"Aw, what the hell?" Bacon frowned.
"Was it a giant robot?" Ryssa asked.
"No, the moon is--"
"An alien?"
The vampire stopped and glared, clearly irritated. He raised one hand slowly and took a handful of obscenely oversized rings from his pocket with the other. Without breaking eye contact, he placed each ring on its respective finger, clenched his fist a couple times to adjust them, and then cleared his throat.
"BITCH!" he screamed, solidly backhanding Ryssa with his pimped-out hand.
"WHY YA HITTIN' YOURSELF? WHY YA HITTIN' YOURSELF?" demanded Ryssa, viciously beating the vampire with his own hand which was now missing a couple of its rings.
"I DON'T KNOW!" cried the vampire.
"You're my bitch now! Got it, bitch?" Ryssa smacked him again.
"Bitch, who's my bitch?"
"I am!" sobbed the vampire.
The moon was now turning into giant dragon. Out of all the traps he could've fallen for, Bacon was unfortunate enough to draw this short straw. He dropped his sword and crossed his arms. This was some straight-up bullshit. How do you even fight a moon? Arukoru never taught him anything about how to slay a moon-dragon. It's not like he would know anything about that. He would probably have said something about butter and then changed the subject.
Bacon looked back up at the moon-dragon assembling itself and preparing to enter earth's atmosphere. He could already feel lighter as the gravitational pull drew closer. If his assumptions were correct, Khvarikx Tungl (as he would probably call his new form) could wipe out life on the planet just by stepping on it. Bacon had to admit, it was strategic genius. Dragons were created from small chunks of the moon; it would be easy enough to make a body using all of the lunar rock the same time.
Suddenly, he had a plan. All of the dead dragons from the dragon wars long ago were still buried in the earth. He could use them to build himself a smaller moon-dragon body and then he would actually have a chance. He focused all of his willpower, reaching out to find the corpses of his kin.
Khvarikx Tungl was now almost completely formed and he began to move towards the surface of the planet. His massive body was swallowed by the earth's shadow and without the reflection of the sun or the faint ambient light of distant long-dead stars, the world grew pitch-black.
Bacon held his breath as chunks of fossilized bones crumbled and began to reform around him. As more bones crystalized around him, he grew taller and more elongated. Stubby little wings sprouted from the place where his shoulderblades would be if he wasn't a bacon strip. They exploded into giant curtains stretching over the ground. A tail grew out and whipped around through the dust. His arms and legs thickened and produced razor-sharp talons. His face morphed into a long head with horns and a mouthful of teeth. The last fossil fragments formed around the dead Atialysis, morphing it into a greatsword almost twice as tall as Bacon's new body, which was at least a few hundred miles tall. Khvarikx Bacon was now something that existed and he was ready for blood, guts, and gory glory.
Tungl opened his eyes and two red stars appeared in the night sky, casting an eerie red glow. Bacon readied his impractical, obscenely oversized sword and blasted off towards the moon dragon.
"Like butter," he said to himself as he drew closer to his orbital opponent.
"I WILL DESTROY YOU, BACON STRIP!" Tungl shouted.
"JOKE'S ON YOU, I'M A DRAGON AGAIN!" replied Bacon, picking up speed. "AND BY THE TIME THE SUN RISES AGAIN, I'M GOING TO BE THE ONLY DRAGON LEFT!"
Tungl paused, "Wait, why are we fighting?"
Bacon slowed and stopped in front of Tungl who was lazily drifting through the emptiness of the earth's exosphere on the edge of outer space. "I don't know. I was trying to save humanity at first, then I guess I was trying to save them again in a different way while also trying to become a dragon again, then your minion killed my two closest allies, so it became a revenge thing."
"So you're trying to kill me because I killed your salamander and your sword?"
"They were my friends!"
"Friendship is an illusionary construct created by the humans to prevent the strong from slaughtering and enslaving the weak." Tungl argued, entertained by Bacon's emotional response. He was also sickened. Bacon was acting like the original dragons, spreading their flowery gospel of peace and serenity.
"No! Friendship is why we exist! We were created to be companions to the humans, not to rule them as tyrants!" Bacon wasn't sure if he was arguing because he believed it, or if he just didn't want to lose the argument with himself.
"So you're going to kill me and then aimlessly roam the earth as what, a spirit guide for the lost souls that encounter you?"
"No! Obviously I'm going to rule the world, but in a more benevolent and just way than the way you're running things right now. Humans were meant to be the primary species, not us. We're not even real creatures! We were manufactured as empty mechanical shells. Our souls can't pass on to any afterlives or even undergo reincarnation!"
"That means we should have the right of way here in this life. When they die, they get more chances in other worlds. Eventually, you and I will both have our dates with fate. Whatever grim reaper dragon who collects the souls of dragons will come for us. I'm sure it will be a pain and a bitch-ton of paperwork for him/her due to the fact that he will have to collect our collective soul in two separate pieces (assuming there isn't any more time travel). I digress. When that happens, it can be humanity's turn to prosper and thrive."
"We were never supposed to have a turn! Dragons were a gift to them!"
"Yes. We were a gift too and they didn't even want us because we were different. You remember that first day! You remember how our own kind turned their backs on us just to save their own hides!"
The baby dragon poked his claws out through the side of his egg and pulled down, scattering chunks of the rocky shell. A ray of light pierced the darkness blinding the hatchling. The light focused as his eyes adjusted. The opening revealed a large number of pale bipedal creatures wearing vivid colors matching the larger scaly creatures perched above them: some on a rock ledge, some in thick pines trees, and some in the shallow waters of a nearby stream. The baby dragon could sense that they were all waiting on him to hatch out of his shell and he was excited to meet his new friends.
He snapped his wings outwards, pulverizing the walls of his shell with a delighted croak. Just like that, the mood of the onlookers turned on a dime.
"What is that ugly black thing?"
"That's no dragon!"
"It's some kind of monster! Look at its freaky eyes!"
The grandest and most beautiful of all the dragons crashed down from his perch in the treetops, his tail trailing behind him and scattering pine needles into the breeze. He was bright pink with highlights of neon green, orange, and navy blue. His eyes seemed as if they were almost certainly forged by whatever offspring came about when the best silversmith and the best goldsmith in all the land got together at a smithing convention and smashed in a hotel room. His voice was like a gentle breeze carrying the voices of angels singing in a faraway land, but his words were icy and cold.
"Creature, by the power vested in me by myself, I name you Khvarikx, the Spawn of Tribulation. I do not know how you came to be, but I believe you are a test for these people to demonstrate their ability to discern between good and evil, then to subsequently eradicate the latter."
Baby Khvarikx cocked his head and cooed in worried confusion as the people drew swords, spears, and daggers from their respective sheaths, scabbards, and holsters. Realizing the peril he was in, he pulled himself out of his cracked eggshell and flopped on the ground, struggling to stand. He did not even know how to walk, but yet he had to run for his life. As he dug his claws into the ground and desperately flapped his wings to build momentum, he could hear the people around him declaring that his attempt to flee was admission of guilt. They began to hurl spears and rocks at him, their hearts set on proving their holiness to themselves.
Bacon was visibly shaken by the old memory. He didn't blame the humans though. They were pawns in the game too. The goddess Aevynha and her sister Xijan Ol were sick and twisted. He would kill them eventually, but first he needed to free humanity from the more immediate problem. The two cosmic calamities stared at eachother in mild agitation as they circled each other. Khvarikx Bacon was significantly less cosmic, being about a tenth of the size of Khvarikx Tungl. He knew it would be a tough fight. It would probably last at least three or four chapters before a victor was elected by the hands of fate.
"Let me tell you something, 'Sir' Bacon Strip," Tungl prodded, emphasizing "Sir" with a mocking smirk. "I know why you're fighting me."
"Why?" Bacon didn't actually want to know why, but he asked anyways.
"We're dragons, dumbass! We don't make rational decisions, we just dick around with whatever entertains us until it kills us hard enough to keep us dead."
"What are you saying?"
"We do things on a whim. You probably started your whole quest to save the world from me because you were bored, no matter what logic you used, or what you thought you thought."
Bacon shuddered. He knew Tungl was right.
Tungl pressed on. "You had no one left to bow before your might, no one left for you to lord over. No one weaker than you to make you feel strong. No one left to kill!"
"I have someone to kill right now."
"You wish."
Bacon roared, charged, and so began the greatest battle that the universe had ever known. Tungl clapped his hands together with a ferocious growl, obliterating Bacon and ending the battle just as fast as it started. Tungl grumbled as his rocky arms cracked under the force and began to separate. The broken, shattered pieces floated away through the vacuum of space and he lazily watched with mild interest. He reached out with what was left of his now jagged, stubby arms and drew the particles of the moon back to his body. This moon form was weak and brittle; he would have to strengthen it before moving on. He pondered how to do that as he gazed at the earth resting peacefully below him. He really didn't need humans or anything else on the planet, other than the gold hidden beneath the surface. He could destroy the planet and salvage the gold inside to fortify his armor. Then he could farm other planets throughout the universe until he found a worthy foe. He twirled through empty space and looked to the sun. If he learned how to devour stars and add them to his body he could grow even larger and more powerful. He grinned at the thought.
Then he heard a voice.
"This is awkward." The voice sounded exactly like his own, but it was not his own.
He spun around hissing angrily.
"Where are you?" Tungl demanded.
The voice chuckled. "Let me give you a hint." Tungl smacked himself in the face.
"OW!" Tungl and the voice shouted in unison.
"Are you kidding me?" Tungl growled in frustration.
"This is your fault! I had you beat until you went all supermoon on me!"
"I was toying with you!"
"I hacked you to pieces!"
"Because I let you!"
Tungl hit himself again.
"OW!" They shouted.
"Stop it!" demanded Tungl.
"Make me!" countered the voice.
The vampire sat back in his chair and lit a cigarette.
"The dragon argued with his other self for hours, neither--"
He stopped and growled at his cigarette which had somehow extinguished itself. He re-lit it and continued.
"Neither self could overpower the other. As far as--" The cigarette went out again.
He shook his head and swallowed it.
"As far as will-power and mental strength goes, the two were equals. Eventually, they realized this and they settled on a plan. They decided to call a temporary truce and return to earth as humans. The younger/black/emperor/moon dragon would go down to earth first while the older/white/bacon dragon would stay and repair the moon to stabilize the earth's tides and gravitational fields. He'd come down later when he had finished. The two would find each other on earth someday and fight to the death in fragile, mortal bodies."
"Is that the end? So they're just wandering the earth trying to find and kill each other?" Ryssa asked, perplexed.
The vampire nodded, sipping on his drink. He leaned forward and placed the drink on the bar. Then, he reached into his jacket and spoke.
"It's the end of the story I'm telling, but the story itself isn't over quite yet. See, the black dragon came down a few hundred years ago as the world's very first vampire." A button popped inside the vampire's jacket. "The other came down a couple decades ago..."
A blade flashed under the dim lights of the room and Ryssa tried to scream, but she only produced a gargling croak which sprayed a mist of violet blood from her open mouth. The vampire placed his pale, clawed hand on her head and used it as leverage to pull his blade out of the side of her neck. He turned, crazed eyes fixed on the shocked man holding an empty glass and a bottle of rum.
"The other came down as a bartender!" The vampire slammed his empty hand down, digging his claws into the bar and pulling himself over. As the vampire tackled the man, he hissed and buried the knife deep in the bartender's chest.

She has seven or eight tattoos, depending on whom you ask, including a reference to "King Lear" ("We will all laugh at gilded butterflies") in gothic calligraphy on her upper back that stylistically mirrors a tattoo on Jolie's upper back. Like Jolie, Fox told journalists that she was bisexual, that the actress Olivia Wilde was "so sexy she makes me want to strangle a mountain ox with my bare hands." Fox emphasized the outrageous, especially in her first big cover article for GQ, in which she embroidered her love affair with the stripper Nikita, defined herself as a man in a sexy woman's body and announced her thoughts on Angelina. "I don't even consider her human," she said.

Dear Abby: I'm 15 and my brother is 19. He still lives at home and recently acquired a water cooler - the kind you see in doctors' offices. He has it sitting in the dining room and, frankly, I hate it! It's unsightly and unnecessary.
My parents allow it to stay there. They have never cared much about how their house looks. Is there any way I can convince them to remove the water cooler? - Wants a Normal House
Dear Wants a Normal House: Ideally, a water cooler would be placed in a kitchen. However, if there isn't room for it in your parents' kitchen, and meals are shared in the dining room, that's the logical place for it. I can't see why the water cooler would embarrass you. Most people's homes don't resemble the layouts you see in magazines.
Dear Abby: I have been dating my boyfriend for three years. We get along well, but he has the most annoying habit of gnawing his fingernails. I find it repulsive and embarrassing when we're out in public.
I have asked him repeatedly to stop. He said he has done it all his life and I should stop nagging. I know most people have habits, and this is more of an addiction. What can I say to make him stop? - Biting Off Too Much in S. Carolina
Dear Biting: Nail-biting is typically related to stress and anxiety. There are ways to stop, and he should talk about it with his doctor. Beyond suggesting that he make an appointment, nothing you can say will "make" your boyfriend change his behavior.
Dear Abby: I am 20 years old and have been in a relationship since I was 15. I never had a childhood. At 14 I became an adult and never got to experience any teenage freedom. I realize now that I'm not ready to settle down with anyone, but I know he is.
I think I'm ready to experience life as a separate individual, but I don't know how to tell him. He always said this would happen, but I denied it. Now I realize he was right.
I don't know how to start the conversation. Please help me. - Not Ready to Settle Down
Dear Not Ready: A way to start the conversation would be to say: "We need to talk, and I need to be honest with you.
You were right when you said this wouldn't last - and I was immature and inexperienced when I said you were wrong."

the only thing I've had to contribute to UP in a while... a rarely seen angle of Uptown
Help Stop Excessive 'Soft Commenting' in Topics!I may be totally out of line and off base, and I welcome anyone to 'check' me, but I feel I must bring this up. I have been a little annoyed/discouraged from coming to the forums lately as I am finding topic after topic to be flooded with post after post of soft-commenting. These comments contain no information, updates, nor throw up any real questions for discussion/debate or anything that really contributes/builds on the subject matter of each topic. I see a lot of personal statements and 'back and forth' conversations between forum members in a topic which really should be in a PM or even an IM, just page after page of it or a lot of comments about 'I like this' or 'I think that if *insert general thing* is so then this other *obvious general correlation* is so'. Maybe I'm just a super dick this week, but i appreciated being able to following a topic with relevant information, updates, and debates without a bunch of comments posted just for commenting sake. Look, I do my best to search topics and not repost or re-share things that have already been shared or discussed in depth, because I know my fellow forum members don't want to see a new update to a topic, First Ward Park for example, only for me to say 'I like turtles and think there should be a turtle pond.' When the current discussion and last comment is about Dixie's Tavern building use. I just think we should ask ourselves before we post excessively, is this really contributing anything or sparking a conversation that hasn't already been hashed out already 5-10 pages back. I obviously take this too seriously. Rant over.
Dimensional Place (Common Market South End site)I didn't see it mentioned (my eyes might be getting worse though), but does anyone know if the adjacent buildings/land on Camden (Charlotte Post & Phat Burrito) are in play as well?
Streetcar got some love on MNF
I feel like like I had a hand in all this.. I know I didn't of course... but extremely similar approach from my post in December 2013 regarding what Norfolk VA did w/ $3M in a year on their 'AM-Shack'. If it wasn't for all the track work our shack could be done by the end of 2016.
From what I've gathered during various neighborhood conversations, it was inevitable. Supposedly Gains Brown has no choice but to either sell, or get pushed-out without much, if any, compensation. I can't confirm but, I heard that's what happened with the Trolly Museum; I was told he once owned that building as well but, he got pushed out by whatever 'immanent domain' laws/policies/regs exercised to do so. Regardless, $$$/Development has a louder voice than the current 'renters' who make up the majority of the residents in the South End special tax zone. It's not like Dilworth, or even Wilmore, where single-family property owners make up the consensus whose property tax dollars give them influence/voice towards guiding development in their neighborhoods. Like it or not, Southend is steadily becoming more of an extension/assimilation of uptown vs. an independent, community-guided, neighborhood. Just the change I've seen living here for the past 5 years is incredible, completely different feel/vibe than when I first moved to SE.
Ally Charlotte Center (f/k/a Tryon Place) - 26 floors - 427'Not sure if this has been shared, but this is the best rendering I've come across so far of both Crescent projects' impact on the city scape. wow.... just wow
I saw that Blue Line Capacity Extension construction is underway at 485 Station today. It appears they are extending platform to the north on southbound track and extending platform to the south on the northbound track.
It's a shame that re-storing, retro-fitting and expanding on the old Seaboard Air Line Railroad Passenger Station is not currently a viable alternative. The Blue Line extension passes so close that you could create a station/platform right at Alpha Mill with and extended pedestrian walkway to N College to allow easy transfer between Amtrak and LRT line. I supposed it could be feasible to build something with promise and even act as an anchor catalyst to the N-Tryon if it were possible to purchased all the land surrounding the existing station north of 12th St to the existing ROW, and west from the Blue Line Extension to Graham St.
I swear when I was riding the train this morning I saw 2 newly built Elevator shafts on the west side of Fountains @ Southend. They appeared to be constructed between Foster Ave and the CATS facility. Did I miss an announcement of a new midlevel apt or Office project back in that area? Does anyone have any info or a link? I'll Bcycle down there this weekend to take a look and some pics if it actually 'is' anything..
I saw a Siemens commercial on CNBC yesterday featuring Light Rail Vehicle Manufacturing in USA and has quite a few shots of our beloved S70s in Uptown. Check it out HERE
CATS Long Term Transit Plan - Silver, Red, Airport Lines$200k towards Gateway... That will get 1/2 a report written by an outside consulting firm with redundant/repetitive information that we've all read and gone over for the past 3 years. IMO, it would be better utilized by re-allocating it to the Cedar yard streetcar project. (Of course that can't and won't happen)
Scaleybark Station Area ProjectsQuick observation while on LRT, an excavator has been working on site for the past 2 weeks in the northwest corner along Dewitt Lane.
Not a mid rise project buuuuuut.... Tryon has the painted dotted outlines for the new on-street 'Twilight Parking' spaces that will soon be a reality for South End nightly visitors, 6pm-7am I believe. Also, Slate Billiards is opening up next to Oak room thus completing occupancy in that building.

I googled the word stress. "Stress is a measure of force per unit area within a body, tension is an external stress tending to pull an object apart." Now we're getting somewhere. It's definitely why my shoulder muscles feel like they're being pulled up into my neck.
Those of us who have mastered the art of hiding stress because we want to be easygoing and laid-back ultimately pay the price internally. I wonder if those folks who rant and rave and throw mini-temper tantrums feel better afterward – I have to believe they don't – mostly because fits like that take a lot of energy.
Although I haven't figured out how to stop stress from attacking my body parts, I do practice finding moments of joy – as I like to call them – that keep me from losing my mind and screaming like a mad woman when life gets overwhelming.
I haven't always been easygoing, and I remember the turning point in my life when I decided it was up to me to find the balance in life. I was a young, single parent of two, struggling to meet the monthly bills and carrying around a chip on my shoulder, bigger than a boulder.
My mom was a character-builder, although I'm sure she never knew it. She'd come by and check on us, often times bringing a care package of food or a new outfit for the girls. Spending most of my time and energy feeling sorry for myself, I overlooked the things in life that seemed trivial, when actually they could have made the big picture so much brighter.
During a crying jag, I told Mom how unhappy and miserable I was even though I knew she wasn't very tolerant of pity parties or whining. Mom wasn't much for lectures, shouting matches or sympathy, unless the situation was out of your control, like if you were sick or hurt.
I don't remember ever hearing her raise her voice or even look mad – although I bet her shoulder muscles hurt too. As she was heading out the door to leave me to waller in my own miseries she said, "No one is happy all the time. It's up to you to find moments of joy – the more you capture those moments, the better off you'll be."
I eventually learned how to heed her advice, and it didn't take long to realize laughing felt a lot better than crying, and I became an expert at finding "moments of joy," or faking it until you make it.
Just today, I savored the smell of the coming rain as I drove with my windows down.
Guess there must be something to the old saying of "taking the time to stop and smell the roses," although trying to pick them can be a little tough with shoulder muscles that are wound too tight.

How To Reconcile With Husband After Separation: My Husband Says He's Not Ready For A Reconciliation
If you are having a separation in marriage this is probably a very stressful time for you. Something you need to know is that it is possible to get back together and fix your marriage. The first thing you must do is get a hold of your emotions and take care of yourself.
It is understandable to feel panic with the loss of control you are experiencing. Before the breakup life may not have been ideal but you knew what to expect, now your world is full of unknowns. It makes sense that out of desperation you would do anything to bring back some sense of normalcy back to your life, but you have to resist.
If you contact your ex out of desperation you will drive them further away. You need to relax and take a break from the relationship. Don't contact your ex or try to see them. The separation is way too fresh-you might do or say the wrong things in this state.
Give yourself about a month to let things cool down. It might seem like an impossibly long time, but you need to give yourself time to think clearly about what has gone wrong in the marriage. After the time is up, you can start to have real communications with your spouse.
While this cooling off period will help you, it is also the first step in repairing your marriage. You need to give your spouse a chance to start to miss you, this period of time is when that can happen.
Thinking about regaining the status of "Happily Married"? It is possible, and is not difficult if you think it is not. But exactly how you do so? If you would like the source most couples used to revive their relationship, strengthened their marriage, regain trust and love in the marriage and not giving up then visit this Helpful Site.
To learn how to save your marriage even if alone at first, then check out this plan of actions that is 100% guaranteed. Over 60,000 couples were able to save their marriages by doing the very same series of steps that you could be doing. If they saved their marriages then you can too! Click Here to see how it's done...
After a break up or separation the thought that is most likely on your mind is how to get your husband back. It is possible for that to happen. There are steps you need to follow and the following are a good start.
You need to be patient, you can go back to him promising him that you'll change your ways or do anything he wants so you can get back together. You want to keep your contact with him to a minimum. A little hello or a friendly wave are fine. Just don't things that will drive him away from you. The key is to draw him back to you, get him attracted to you again.
It is very important right after a break up to not pester him. Don't call or text him a bunch. Let some time pass, you can even let him know that you are okay with the break up.
As time progresses you can start talking to him a little more, but keep it light and not too involved. Also it is fine for him to see that he is not the most important person in your life. If you're both at a party and you're talking and some of your friends show up, stop the conversation with him and go talk to your friends. Of course, be nice, but the message will be clear.
If he calls you, don't answer the phone and don't return the call for a few hours or the next day, telling him that you have been real busy. You want him to wonder what you have been doing, create a sense of mystery and jealousy.
Are you tired of living in a relationship in which you feel neglected? Many married people find themselves feeling alone and rejected by their spouse. If you feel taken for granted, there's a way to change that now.
To learn more about how to transform your marriage so your spouse loves and adores you more than they ever has before, visit this helpful site.
Do you have an emotionally distant husband? Does he often "check out" on you or refuse to talk to you? Or maybe he just doesn't know how to connect emotionally? This is a common problem that many women face in their marriages. It might seem as if your husband doesn't care about you or that he isn't interested in you. Sometimes, you may feel like your suffocating under the emotional neglect. Some women even go so far as to say it feels as if their husbands hate them because of this problem.
What can you do if you find yourself in this kind of situation? Is he really uninterested, or is it that he just doesn't know how to relate in an emotional way? If so, how can you help him to come out of his protective shell without pushing him away? If I may, I would like to offer a man's perspective on this important issue.
The Problem - Why Husbands Are Emotionally Distant
There are many reasons why husbands can be emotionally distant. We men often find it very difficult to open up emotionally to our wives. In most cases it has nothing to do with whether we are interested in our wives or not. In fact, we want nothing more than to be the best husbands we can be. And that's exactly where the problem lies. We're afraid to fail.
It is a scary thing for a man to expose himself emotionally. What if he looks foolish? What if he looks weak? What if he looks like he doesn't have it all together? What if his wife judges him, or worse, openly criticizes him?
This is scary stuff for a man. Seriously.
Not to mention that most of us just haven't had much practice in this area. Most men have very few close relationships with other people that we can share this type of stuff with. We internalize our thoughts and emotions and mostly try to find logical ways of dealing with things. Sharing our dreams, desires, fears and conflicts is unnecessary, maybe even counterproductive.
Find out how to get your spouse to go crazy head over heels for you and desire you in a way you have never experienced! You will be amazed at how good it feels to have your spouse's attention and affection again - Learn more here
To make the problem worse, men are wired differently than women are. You've probably heard that women are multitaskers and men aren't. Not only do men find it hard to do more than one or two things at a time, but we also find it difficult to hold onto more than a few thoughts in our heads.
If you're a woman, you probably have about 100 things going on in your head at one time. You're worried about your kids, you're thinking about your friend who is having relationship problems, you have a running to do list going, and you have several other hopes, dreams, fears, and concerns all bouncing around in there at the same time.
As a man, I'm usually only thinking about one thing at a time. Usually, if it's the task I'm currently engaged in. If I'm doing something that doesn't require much attention then I can think about something else at the same time too. This is why my wife can ask me what I'm thinking about and I can often say "nothing" with complete honesty.
There are plenty of other reasons why I might be emotionally distant from my wife as well. Maybe I'm tired and have had a long day. Maybe I'm irritated because she said something I didn't like, so I withdraw. Maybe I'm irritated with something that has nothing to do with her. Maybe I'm worried about work or bills or something else. None of these things mean I don't like my wife or am not interested in her.
The Solution - What To Do When Your Emotional Needs Aren't Being Met
So here you are left with this gaping need for love, affection, and intimacy on an emotional level. Your husband isn't meeting this need, either because he's ill-equipped or he's in a bad season in his life. How do you, as a women, get your emotional needs fulfilled?
The first thing you should do is stop looking to your husband to meet all of your needs. That isn't his job. That's not the purpose of marriage.
Only God can satisfy your deepest needs and desires. It is only when you look to God first that you can have your needs satisfied. Don't believe me? Look at scripture:
"Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart."(Psalm 37:4 NIV)
When you look to Him first and foremost as the ultimate fulfiller of your desires you will be satisfied. If you try to get your emotional needs met by your husband, your kids, other relationships, or some romance novel you will find that it just doesn't work.
Discover one of the most destructive things you're probably doing to your marriage right now that is destroying your chances of saving it. Learn the key tips to make your spouse turn towards you instead of turning away - Learn more here
That being said, having emotional distance between you and your husband is not part of God's design for marriage. So how do you help him open up his heart to you?
Have you ever tried to tell your husband how much you need him to open up to you? If so, this is the wrong move. You're actually pushing him further away by doing this. Why? Let me illustrate.
Your husband thrives on respect. It is the primary thing he needs from you. You need to feel loved, cherished, desired and attractive. Your husband, on the other hand, needs to feel important, accomplished, capable and needed.
If you tell him "I feel like you don't love me," you are communicating a need to him. He doesn't see it that way, though. He feels as if you are calling him a failure. He's not a good enough husband. And he withdraws even further into his protective shell. He shuts down and shuts up.
So what can you do to fix this situation? You need love. You thrive with it and you wilt without it. The solution?
Give him respect.
Do your best to make him feel like he is the best husband and father in the world without putting the pressure on him to perform. You will find that with some time, he will begin to open up more and more to you. He will start sharing on his own, without needing to be poked and prodded and, dare I say it, nagged.
"But it's not fair," you may be thinking, "why should I have to be the one to do all the work? Shouldn't he put in the effort to meet my needs?"
Yes, he should. In a perfect world, you wouldn't have to worry about it. He'd give you all of the love you need and you would give him all the respect he needs. But this isn't a perfect world. We live in a fallen world, and both you and your husband are fallen, fallible people.
If you want more love from your husband, give him respect. You can complain about it or you can do it with a cheerful heart and see the results for yourself.
Couples can love one another and yet find themselves drifting apart and headed for a divorce. There are steps you can take, with or without the aid of your spouse to get your marriage back into the loving place it once was.

When it comes to understanding men and how we feel about touching, I couldn't give you a straight answer. Some guys like it, some guys don't. All I can tell you is that we like it more than it is made to seem. For some reason, the general consensus out there is that because women are more sensual, they are more tactile and touchy-feely. Us guys love a bit of touching now and then. It just depends on the time and place.
We like to be touched, that shouldn't be a secret to you. What really gets guys going though is the touching that happens in public, discreetly. I know that's what gets me going, anyway.
Just the other night, my wife and I were out at a casino, having dinner with our mates. Under the table, my girlfriend just did one thing: she put her hand on my leg. Nothing more, nothing less (I swear!). I couldn't help but feel a flush of warmth towards her.
Same casino, a year prior: we were still in the "honeymoon stage" of our relationship and instead of putting her hand on my leg, she hung her leg off mine instead, again underneath the table and again, while we were out with friends, eating.
Do you ever feel like the only way to resolve a conflict is by slamming the door and walking away? Or by punishing your partner? It doesn't have to be this way. Find out incredibly powerful strategies for resolving your marriage conflicts in a more constructive and less emotionally stressful way - Find out here
There was this one time we were out at a friend's engagement party. She led me out to the balcony where she saw someone she used to know from school. She was holding my one hand with both of hers and stood partially behind me. While she was talking to her friends, she rested her cheek against my shoulder.
I don't know, it's just little things like that that make me feel like she's the one, you know? Maybe it's just me, but it's not all about the sex. To me, that sort of casual touching shows affection.
Us guys really dig a girl who will make the first move, especially if they usually aren't the type to. There is nothing better than having the girl's hand slide neatly into yours when you're out in public. I know that seems rather simplistic, but that's the truth. We do tend to get desensitized to it over time, but for the guys who are really into touching, it will always give us a buzz.
Understanding men and why we like touching comes back down to a few simple ideas. We like it because it gets us closer to you. We use it to show affection. However, sometimes the woman might have to make the first move. If we do, it might not turn out the way that we want it to.

Proponents of a campaign to expand access to medical marijuana in Utah say they met with representatives of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on this issue.
Christine Stenquist with Together for Responsible Use and Cannabis Education (TRUCE) said she had had several meetings with Church representatives.
"They play very close to the chest," Stenquist said. "They took the information, but they did not tell us which way to go."
A church spokesman said they have no official position on this measure. The church has demanded more research on the medical use of marijuana. In 2016, when Utah's legislature passed two competing bills to legalize medical cannabis, the church supported the tighter proposal. None of the bills exceeded the legislature.
Stenquist said in her meetings with church officials that they voiced concerns about members and financial support for electoral initiatives.
"We raised these concerns, which is a very down-to-earth grassroots movement," she said.
"I think her concern was that it was a recovery," Stenquist said. "The language in the electoral initiative does not point to it and does not give anyone reason to believe that."
Recent polls show that two-thirds of active Mormons support the legalization of medical marijuana, but the church could influence voters if they violate the initiative
Gov. Gary Herbert said on Thursday that he opposes the electoral decision in favor of new laws that legalize medical cannabis only for terminally ill patients.
The Utah Patients Coalition is the group that conducts the election initiative. Campaign director DJ Schanz said he had "two or three" private meetings with church officials.
"I hope that we will continue to work with the LDS Church in a way that we were," Stenquist said, adding that she is being talked to active church members who prefer medical marijuana to opioids and other medicines against chronic diseases.
To reach a poll, groups must collect more than 1
The Utah Patients Coalition has submitted more than 150,000 signatures to the office of the Lieutenant Governor for review, and Schanz is confident that the question will be raised at the vote in November.
"We will continue to collect Signed until the last minute" until April 15, "said Schanz.

text: Guest csevers Posted May 26, 2007 Hello all, I've been out of the loop for some time and want to get back into MSFS. My question for everyone is what do you consider the essential addons to FS9 to make it shine? Alternately, at this point in the life cycle would I be better off picking up FSX? My machine is an Athlon X2 4200 with 2 gigs of ram and a 7900GT video card. I'm mostly interested in what sort of environmental and scenery addons I should get, however if anyone has some good smaller commuter aircraft advice I'd love to hear those as well. I think I have the PMDG 737 kicking around on a backup DVD somewhere and perhaps a couple other smaller planes from Flight1. I have had Ground Environment Pro and Active Sky recommended, are those the standard ones or should I be looking at something else?Thanks!Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is there a trans bubble?
A friend of mine told me recently that in a relative's class of 25 children, five of them are officially identified as trans. That means 20% of the children are on their way to hormone therapy and gender re-assignment.
I was astounded and asked what was going on. He said: 'It's like gender identities have become more rigid. In the old days you could be a tom-boy. Now, if you're a girl and you're not an incredibly girly girl like Arianna Grande, then you're trans.'
I have no desire at all to police people's life-choices. If a person wants to change gender identity, and it makes them happier, I am all for it. Trans-gender people have been subjected to abuse and violence for millennia, and deserve our respect, protection and love.
What concerns me is that our culture's extraordinary focus on trans issues may be something of a bubble, and this bubble may persuade some teenagers that the answers to all their problems may be gender transition. Their parents and counsellors may then rush to affirm their decision and write it in stone with irreversible medical procedures.
And they may be wrong.
Around 0.6% of the population identifies as trans, yet you would never guess that from all the articles, the media controversies, the books and films about transitioning over the last five years or so.
Why such intense focus on this issue?
The trans movement, if that's the right word, or the trans discussion, is part of a broader western obsession with questions of gender, sexuality and identity. That's a product of the Sexual Revolution and the Culture Wars of the 1960s, but it actually goes deeper than that. It goes through the expressive individualism of Romanticism – in which the ultimate authority is the 'authentic self'. And it goes all the way back to Christianity, and its powerfully emotional myth of being born again.
The original version goes something like this:
You start off alienated and unhappy in your fallen society. You wonder 'is this all life is? Am I more than this?' Then you meet a rag-tag group of outsider Christians who seem surprisingly happy and fulfilled. They make you feel loved and accepted in a way your family and society never did. You search your heart and wonder, could I be a Christian too? Your parents are naturally horrified at the suggestion. Isn't this just a phase? But you brave the stigma of coming out, take the leap of faith and are born again. You discover the Real You, and are celebrated in your new loving family, then you fight with your new brothers and sisters for the New Jerusalem, against the demonic enemies who oppose you.
Sound familiar?
We may have left Christianity behind in Europe, but we never left this basic mythic narrative. You saw it in Romanticism: once we throw off the shackles of kings and priests and let freedom reign, we will finally find the Authentic Me and live in a redeemed world without suffering. You saw it in Marxism: throw off the false consciousness of capitalism and become a New Man or New Woman. After the revolution, when all the demon capitalists are dead, we will all be free in a world without suffering.
You saw it in the Civil Rights movement: I have a dream one day my people will be free. You saw it in feminism: throw off patriarchy, discover the Real You, and be loved by your circle of sisters. You saw it in the gay rights movement: one day I will throw off the false self imposed on me by straight culture and be recognized as the real fabulous Me, celebrated and loved by my gay community. It's sold to us by self-help as well – do you feel sad, confused, limited? Try our new 12-step programme and you will finally feel fulfilled, unshackled, the Real You. Tony Robbins can fit the whole mythical journey into a 10-minute interaction.
Our favourite trope, repeated in endless movies, is the deeply Christian story of the awkward outsider who finally discovers the Real Me, and then, in the emotional climax of the movie, they reveal their new, authentic, fabulous self to the public, through a speech, a song, a dance or something. At first the public isn't sure how to react, then they react with wild applause. The new authentic identity of the hero is dramatically affirmed. The ugly duckling is recognized as a swan. It's why we love Queer Eye: 'I used to be sad and lonely, now I'm a fierce queen!'
Watch the trailer – do you see how Christian this is? It could be straight from an Alpha course. Except now there's no God who sees you and loves you. Instead, that part is played by other people. The Public has become the ultimate Judging Panel, especially in the age of reality TV and social media.
The modern trans movement – unlike the civil rights or the feminism movements of the 60s and 70s – is very much an online, social media movement. It's in some ways a Selfie culture. In thousands of trans videos on YouTube, you see montages of people's transitions, as told through endless selfies. Snapchat lets you turn yourself into a unicorn or a puppy with a touch of your phone, so why not a man or a woman? As long as the public applauds the New You. Like every selfie, it all depends on the number of likes you get.
In some ways this is a wonderful myth. That anguished search for the Real Me and the Promised Land has animated our culture over the last 2000 years and genuinely improved people's lives – it's freed us from absolute monarchy, from oppressive religious structures, from oppressive patriarchy and heteronormality. All that is GOOD.
But it's also slightly dangerous.
It's dangerous in that it makes a promise that when you discover the Real You and your True Family, all suffering, conflict and dis-ease will vanish. That's a deeply seductive promise. I fell for it when I briefly transitioned to become an evangelical Christian, for a year or so. Jesus has such an amazing plan for my life, I was told. Come and join your new Christian family, and you will smile all the time.
After various attempts at magical solutions, I now accept that some mental suffering is a fact of life and we should be suspicious of any narrative that says it can dispel all suffering with a conversion, a revolution or an operation.
Certain versions of this myth can be particularly dangerous, because it's difficult to come back. I can become a teenage evangelical and then decide it's not for me. I can come out as gay and then decide I'm not entirely. I can become a Marxist or an Islamist revolutionary and then decide I'm not really (unless I go to Syria like poor Shamima Begum). Every teenager should be allowed to play with their identity and discover who they want to be. But we should be careful of immediately affirming their choices and making them permanent through hormone therapy and surgery, because that ink is permanent.
The Atlantic had an excellent cover story last year, looking at the difficulties for teenagers and parents when they decide they're trans. It included coverage of a group known as 'detransitioners', who felt uncomfortable in their bodies and gender identities as teenagers, then dived into the online trans world and decided they were trans. Their parents and counsellors, trying to do the right thing, immediately affirmed their decision and leapt into action with hormone therapy and transition surgery. But then the new men or new women discovered life post-transition wasn't the paradise they imagined. The article says:
Many of these so-called detransitioners argue that their dysphoria was caused not by a deep-seated mismatch between their gender identity and their body but rather by mental-health problems, trauma, societal misogyny, or some combination of these and other factors. They say they were nudged toward the physical interventions of hormones or surgery by peer pressure or by clinicians who overlooked other potential explanations for their distress.
The magazine interviews Max Robinson, who decided she was a boy when she went through puberty. She was assigned hormone therapy at 16 and had a double mastectomy at 17. But her life as a trans man did not make her happier.
After her surgery, Max moved from her native California to Portland and threw herself into the trans scene there. It wasn't a happy home. The clarity of identity she was seeking—and that she'd felt, temporarily, after starting hormones and undergoing surgery—never fully set in. Her discomfort didn't go away. Today, Max identifies as a woman. She believes that she misinterpreted her sexual orientation, as well as the effects of the misogyny and trauma she had experienced as a young person, as being about gender identity. Because of the hormone therapy, she still has facial hair and is frequently mistaken for male as a result, but she has learned to live with this: "My sense of self isn't entirely dependent on how other people see me."
That's a very interesting last sentence. Max has shifted from a sense of identity based on how she looks – a selfie identity which depends on your recognition – to a more intrinsic sense of self (the two aren't mutually exclusive, of course. One of the first modern Stoics I interviewed was a trans woman named Sophia – check out her blog here).
Another detransitioner is Carey Callahan, who was assured she would stop suffering from gender dysphoria after transitioning. Jerusalem is near! But she didn't.
Carey said she met people who appeared to be grappling with severe trauma and mental illness, but were fixated on their next transition milestone, convinced that was the moment when they would get better. "I knew a lot of people committed to that narrative who didn't seem to be doing well," she recalled. 'I saw and knew so many people who were cutting themselves, starving themselves, never leaving their apartments. That made me doubt the narrative that if you make it all the way to medical transition, then it's probably going to work out well for you.' Carey's time at the clinic made her realize that testosterone hadn't made her feel better in a sustained way either. She detransitioned, moved to Ohio, and is now calling for a more careful approach to treating gender dysphoria than what many detransitioners say they experienced themselves.
Earlier this year I met a radical queer called Rhodri. I was curious about Queer Theory, so asked Rhodri to explain it to me. He told me he didn't identify as gay or straight, but queer. Queer means you're suspicious of authoritarian structures that limit the fluidity of identity. That includes alternative subcultures like the gay scene. He said: 'Alternative subcultures can be even more conformist and intolerant to deviance than mainstream cultures. You have to fit the 'gay identity', or you're stigmatized.'
It struck me that there's something very Tibetan Buddhist about this Queer celebration of identity-fluidity. If you ask a Tibetan Buddhist who you really are, who is the Real You, they will say we are Empty Luminous Mind. This Mind is beyond binaries –beyond male and female, beyond Asian or Western, beyond Christian and Buddhist, beyond Black, White and Yellow, beyond human and non-human, beyond nirvana and samsara, beyond form and emptiness, beyond death and birth. It is all these things, in glittering fluidity. And it's always here, within you. It doesn't depend on the recognition of your society.
If suffering comes from ego-attachment or ego-aversion, then we need to find a middle way between hating yourself because you're a woman / gay / black / short / fat / working-class or whatever, and becoming overly-attached to your relative identity and seeing it as the answer to all of your problems.
At the relative level, your blackness, your femaleness, your gayness, your Britishness, your shortness, your fatness, your you-ness, is worthy of respect, love and protection from attack. But maybe we should hold it a little lightly as well. It's not all of me. It's not my essence. It's not the only thing about me, or even the most valuable thing. There's something much, much greater, and that's where we all meet.

Exactly Exactly How One Word Assisted Me Personally to Rely On Like Once Again
Exactly Exactly How One Word Assisted Me Personally to Rely On Like Once Again
For me personally, all of it starts around my birthday celebration. The anxiety this is certainly.
Whenever September 16 appears in the calendar and I also realize I've gone yet another 12 months with no a relationship—meaning I'll (most likely) be investing another birthday, Halloween, Thanksgiving, xmas, and New Year's simply by my lonesome—I begin to get panicky. It is maybe not that We don't have wonderful family and friends to commemorate with (i actually do, really much so), it is more that my birthday celebration functions as a yearly reminder for the only piece to my life's puzzle personally i think like I'm nevertheless missing: you to definitely invest it with.
There clearly wasn't someone to send me plants (or, ahem, have birthday celebration sex with), nobody to argue with about where we'll invest Thanksgiving, or introduce to my loved ones https://bestbrides.org/russian-brides/ russian brides for marriage. Some will say that being solitary and having to determine your breaks on the own terms is a blessing. But after four several years of doing exactly that, I'd say I'm ready to begin making those plans (even when it indicates arguing and compromising) and developing life with another individual.
I'm solitary, yes. I've been, yes, for a tremendously very long time. We can't recall the final time We ended up being also near to dropping in love with some body, and like someone else who's by themselves, We skip being held and adored. But rather of centering on the long haul (which as a Virgo, I have a propensity to complete), I've chose to alter my perspective.
In 2015, as my 27th birthday celebration arrived and went, along side all those breaks We dragged myself to blow sans some body, I made a decision that if I happened to be likely to have a happier 2016, it wouldn't take place because We came across some body wonderful, but because We made a selection to consider differently about my relationships. And much more importantly, about my way of them and how we allow them to define – or not define – my self-worth.
Just exactly exactly How? We selected 'Joy' as my term of the season. It's a small use a resolution, in the place of making a big modification, We select a word that guides my choices, my ideas and my motives. By centering on the little – but impactful – joys I experience daily, we free myself from worrying all about nine months from now when I'll turn 28, perhaps simply by my lonesome. Or if I'll return house when it comes to vacations and spend time with my moms and dads for a fortnight, without that amazing boyfriend. Or if I'll get another New Year's without sharing a kiss with anybody (aside from my dog).
By firmly taking that stress away from myself, I've unearthed that – in just per week – we currently feel lighter.
We currently, somehow, do have more hope in love than I experienced prior to. By realizing simply how much joy surrounds me, I'm in a position to also note that being solitary for four years does not make me personally less loved or less worthy of locating a great love. Rather, it is provided me additional time to appreciate that who I have always been, what I'm made from, and what I'm deserving of once i will be really for the reason that relationship.
All the dates, all the years being single, all the disappointments, and holidays spent alone – the real lesson isn't in how to find love because at the end of the day. Or just how difficult I've worked to meet up with the person that is right. Or exactly how courageous I've been never to be satisfied with simply any such thing while waiting around for something extremely unique.
The course is learning where to find joy. Because while a delighted, healthier relationship certainly will be joyful, it won't be everything. Plus some times, I'll have actually to take into consideration the joy once again when it is lost over several years of being together, over kiddies, within the studies that wedding and challenge that is aging with.
But also for now, seeing and relishing the joy of some really good old conversations with friends is reassuring. The joy of finally nailing a yoga headstand is empowering. The joy of seeing the movie movie stars in the sky, also while residing among all the bright lights of the latest York, is inspiring. And realizing that, all things considered with this time wondering whenever I'd finally find love, perhaps choosing the joy in life ended up being the things I needed all along.

5568 Nepal Street, Denver
Kenna Real Estate has extensive experience with short sales in the Denver Metro Area. A short sale refers to the situation where a lender is willing to accept less than what is owed on the home loan. Short of a foreclosure a short sale allows the seller to get out of the mortgage, usually in the instance of financial hardship. This type of "short sale" or "short payoff" may also be referred to as a "pre-foreclosure".
When a seller is in hardship for a few months, the bank may consider a short sale instead of foreclosure proceedings. Establishing this financial hardship may require specific documentation from the seller. This type of real estate transaction can be tricky with various financial instruments, documents, and arrangements being put in place. For short sales in Denver, it makes sense to work with the professionals at Kenna Real Estate. The team at Kenna includes experienced real estate agents, dedicated service professionals, and specialists with many years of experience with short sale transactions.
Each lender, bank, and financial institution establishes its own criteria for accepting a short sale. This type of transaction may be driven by market forces in the Denver Metro Area, the lender's own financial position, or any number of economic factors. Generally, a short sale mitigates risk for the lender and pre-empts foreclosure. The lender may be looking to; liquidate their portfolio, walk away from a specific property, re-organize their debt, or totally shift direction in terms of their internal corporate strategy. Depending on the lender's position, there may be more or less room to negotiate and this is where Kenna can help.
On the other hand, for homebuyers that are patient and willing to wait for the right deal, a short sale can be a fantastic opportunity to own a home at a discounted price. Your dedicated Kenna realtor can guide you through the pre-qualification process and put you in position to take advantage of the next short sale opportunity. Kenna maintains an extensive network of lenders, specialists, and service professionals and can help you successfully navigate the world of short sales.
