I have every reason in the world to be happy. All the toublesome stuff that was plaguing me is resolved. My son is a happy boy, I have a new car (even though I cant seem to give away the old one) I am healthy except for this nagging itchy feeling in my ear canal and this sniffly nose I have had for a few days, I am not broke, I quit my dumb job at RadioShack (dont ask) I feel creative again, my dreams are vivid and entertaining, I cook better every day, yet I am not as happy as I should be. Is it because I am not married? Is it time I found someone to settle down with I mean after all I am 46? But I am 46 with an 8 year old boy that lives with me full time, in fact it is time with him that no matter what he brings me endless joy - but endless joy is not the same as being happy.

You've got yourself a handsome boy there doggybloggy.
I think the right person can make all the difference in life. You're 46 with an 8 year old; that's not a bad thing. I'm sure there are lots of women out there thinking the same thing, "I'm -- years old with a child. Who's gonna want me."
thanks freebird....
Your boy is beautiful!
It's nice to read that you recognize the joy your boy brings! It's sad, many people don't.
You seem to have many good attributes going for you. A good woman will come along when you least expect it.
And no, hell didn't freeze over.
thanks michelle, I felt funny putting my own picture up but.....
Finally a picture! Hey, doggy, you're good looking guy.
I know this sounds corny, but have you thought about online dating? I know, I know, it sounds crazy, but you'd be amazed at how many people you come across that way in a relatively short period of time. It's how I met John. There are some weirdos but you get to where you can tell who they are and weed them out. You're a good looking guy and great father. It's a sad truth, but many men would not have taken on raising a child alone. Many women (mature ones) would find this a plus. By mature I don't mean old, I mean not big into the party scene.
Anyway, just a thought... :-)
Well freebird...it is a thought...remember I live in NYC home of all the nut jobs to begin with so the online nut jobs must be really special
They don't say it's a numbers game for nothing. You just have to find ONE. Worked for me.
Lord, that is a good looking boy!
Your post reminds me of a talk I had with my oldest son tonight. He thinks I should be out looking for Mr. Right instead of just dating for the sake of dating.
Seems I told him once, long ago that people are made for pairing up. That it is unnatural not to be part of a couple. He threw that in my face tonight.
I left the conversation feeling down. As if I had failed and failed miserably because I'm not part of a couple.
I thought I was quite satisfied with my life and then he had to go and spoil it for me!
cathy do you have a blog?
It took a while for me to put my picture up, too.
marraige ain't all it's cracked up to be. unless you're in the right one...which 50% (and i'd say more than that) aren't.
but i have those feelings too. got it all yet somethings missing? I, personally, think it's not winning the lottery but that's just me.
Sometimes I think happiness is a state of mind. Other people can help make it more clear...but they can also let you down...and make it seem further away. Wow...is that as depressing as I think it is?
Dog...you are a great guy..and you would make anyone happy...I am glad you found your happiness!
