39½
June 28 was my official "half-birthday", making this missive more than a few days late.
I wanted to take the opportunity, as I've done semi-annually in the past (see 37½ and 38), to present a glimpse into the state of affairs of my life as it presently stands.
Me at thirty-nine point fiveUntil recently, I worked at a nearby Internet marketing company; however, things began to deteriorate at the office with more people departing for greener pastures. I decided to take up a standing offer and work for a similar group in Delray Beach.
This has afforded me the opportunity of commuting via light rail—and presenting me with the opportunity of doing more writing. (This missive was constructed partially during a stop and power failure on the Tri-Rail).
Michael H. and I are "no more," at least as a couple, but we continue to maintain an amicable cohabitation in our canalside ranch-style home in beautiful, peaceful Palm Aire Village, Fort Lauderdale. It seemed that his incarceration and our extended separation was more than our already strained relationship could bear.
However, it happened, Michael and I both agreed it was better to develop a charitable friendship than to continue fostering resentments and frustrations trying to rekindle a romance that had passed its time.
As quickly as one door slides to a close, another one opens and allows the passage of a crisp, cool, fresh ocean breeze. Suddenly someone reenter into my life. Mike D., who, although I've known him for over ten years, has only now awakened some part of me that I didn't even know existed. He returned to Fort Lauderdale In January, and almost immediately, my life has been irrevocably transformed.
For once in my life I can finally say I am taking care of my needs, putting myself and my mental, physical and spiritual health first, above everything else.
More to come.
