I used to know two sisters in my teen-age who had around two years of interval, physically alike, with two opposite natures: one (the older) was rather a high class, elegant person, and her sister more attracted by self-destruction (I hardly caricature). Both had a lot of charm, equaly. (There may be is a relationship between high society and destruction, and charm).
I knew the first one for ages because she practiced the same hobby in the same club in which I was. The little sister appeared one day in my class. It took me a long time though to learn they were from the same family, maybe because they belonged to two apart worlds of my life. And later, as the younger one was at home, the eldest rang the doorbell, to come and fetch her sister. I opened the door and… whouaaa!!!!
I felt strange, stupid, split in two, tiny and captivated. Both because they looked alike and had so different characters. It was impossible for me to bring together two “incompossible” worlds. I just couldn’t, and they laughed a lot (the mermaids!).
Someone said: “we just live in people’s eyes”.

I’m quite sure it is just me, and that I wouldn’t know how to begin! I stay very busy and have many friends, but the notion of romance seems very foreign and somehow impossible. *sigh* Thanks for the kind words.

I am sure I am a slightly different person at work, with my friends and with my children. When you are in a group where they overlap, it’s difficult to know who exactly to be.

My teenage daughter brought her boyfriend to visit and since I knew they were sleeping together, I put them in the same room. She then said it was weird being treated like a long established couple, which in fact they were, after 5 years. I don’t know what she expected — that I treat her like a five year old.

After my marriage broke up when my sons were in their late teens and early twenties my sons loved it when I got a boyfriend because they could see how happy it made me. Are you sure it’s not just you who has reservations…life is for living, go get some!

I know it’s ridiculous, but it just is. *sigh*

Another lovely post.

So many claims on you – and so few of you…

And then I thought, that no longer makes this a blog, right? If you, Petite, feel that you have a duty to your readership to enter posts, then it’s really no longer a personal thing….not that I’m complaining – far from it! Just a sign of how much things have changed for you, I guess…here’s something I often wonder: do you ever think about starting another blog under another nom de plume that would be just for you (or as much as it can be on the Net)?

Hugs to you!

Its a tough country Australia. We did not see a vehicle for over 2 days..and the tracks we are on are covered in rocks, destroying tyres and suspension… Now I am home for a day or two to fuel up, have a shower, and continue the journey.

BUT
I miss my kids ( geez do i!)… never miss a chance to hold tadpoles hand Petite and never deny her dad either.. even on “those’ days… :o)
