I had a talk with my honey this morning on the phone, and shortly after that a talk with my boss. From my viewpoint, both went well, but time will tell.<\/p>\n
I have figured out that I am a very special person. I have a lot of widely-varied skills, and they don’t mesh together well. I have a lot of interests, also seemingly not fitting together, including skills others don’t seem to have. I also have some, er, interesting deficiencies, including some deterioration of skills I thought I had and, apparently, missing skills that come easily to others. I don’t have one all-consuming fire within me for any one thing or any obvious groupings of things. It’s hard to find the perfect anything (relationship, job, hangout, whatever), in fact I would say impossible. So I have long since been looking for what would be enough for me.<\/p>\n
My current sweetie is enough for me. More than enough. The best honey ever. At times, I seem to be less than enough, or even “other”, for her. We can work on that, for as long as she wants to.<\/p>\n
My current job uses more of my skills than any position I have ever had. Sometimes I am finding that my skill level is not as high as it used to be, or as high as I thought it was, but my boss says I am a very valuable employee, we just have to figure out better ways to communicate and I need to be taking more notes in our discussions. I thought my memory was better than that, but I could be wrong, so I’ll just take the best notes I can and stop whining. She, too, is willing to work on it, and so am I.<\/p>\n
One thing I am not is a quitter. So long as there is any chance of any reasonable level of success, I don’t go running out the door or ending things. Hurts a lot sometimes. I can live through that.<\/p>\n
I hope Sunshine reads and understands that 3rd paragraph. I love you with all my heart, honey, and don’t want to lose you, but I also don’t want to hold onto you so tightly you want<\/em> to get away. We will work on anything we can, and maybe someday I will be enough for you.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Hugs,<\/p>\n Me<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I had a talk with my honey this morning on the phone, and shortly after that a talk with my boss.
