I have all these thoughts and questions that come into my head all the time, not enough of a thought to write a thread about so I thought I'd start off my own personal thoughts here....anyone welcome to comment if they should choose

I've noticed that I get anti male when dealing with the final stages of excepting a breakup. I did so when I ended my marriage and also am feeling that more now after 6 months splitting with my ex...recently my business dealings have shown men to be incompetent and I'm frustrated with them and very short fused lol..a different side of me has been showing recently. Less tolerant and quite direct and to the point...maybe that's just my business head taking direction but I feel it's the "anti male" showing up too..

The reason for you having those thoughts is because you haven't healed completely. The deeper issue is this question, is it that those men are incompetent or are you not willing to compromise or see the other side? If its the latter, this theme may have played out in your last relationship. We have to be honest with ourselves...we may not be willing to admit that we're not as fair or open minded as we'd like to think we are.

Bit of both...bit of unresolved anger but these guys are clearly incompetent or just playing me for a dumb female and making excuses for their fuck ups!!!

And I have no tolerance left for it!

I understand...are you sure that's the case? We both have a Leo moon so I understand where you're coming from. The thing about having that placement is that we tend to be dramatic. We're also are a little controlling. People react to that and respond in kind. Its ironic. The more we try to control, the more we lose it because we are reacting. Don't let those guys provoke your anger. That gives them power and you know that. Simply tell them that if they keep screwing up, they'll be replaced.

Question, what is it about your past relationship that's unresolved?

I don't lose my head at the workers, I just put them in their place sternly...was playing too nice and it wasn't getting me anywhere. One of the pencil pushers trying to get one over me and in turn holding things up further.

Unresolved probably not a good choice in words..my name was tied up in some legal issues which I have had to clear because I left that door open, it smacked me twice... but hopefully now it's done for good! Does make me angry that I trusted him to close it off at the earliest possible and he allowed it to marr my name. Lesson well and truely learnt!!

Doesn't life resemble a roller coaster? The ups and the downs...through the years and as we get older...it's a different outlook in what I call the 3rd stage of life. I've had my youth, raised a family and now living for me. I wouldn't change a thing and appreciate the lessons even through the pain. Good friends and family and many more rides to come!

A psychologist walked around a room while teaching stress management to an audience.
As she raised a glass of water, everyone expected they??d be asked the
—half empty or half full?? question. Instead, with a smile on her face,
she inquired: ??How heavy is this glass of water—

Answers called out ranged from 8 oz. to 20 oz.

She replied, —The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long I hold it.
If I hold it for a minute, it's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour,
I??ll have an ache in my arm. If I hold it for a day, my arm will feel numb
and paralyzed. In each case, the weight of the glass doesn't change,
but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.??

She continued, —The stresses and worries in life are like that glass of water.
Think about them for a while and nothing happens.
Think about them a bit longer and they begin to hurt.
And if you think about them all day long, you will feel paralyzed — incapable of doing anything.??

It's important to remember to let go of your stresses.
As early in the evening as you can, put all your burdens down.
Don't carry them through the evening and into the night.

Remember to put the glass down!

Crushing on this guy atm...haven't done or felt like this in years. Physically attracted and interested in someone and everything they say and the feelings you get and not being able to stop yourself smiling when you are talking to them. Makes you feel good, pity it will never be but a sure feels good for those few moments.

Makes me feel alive again!

Today, I walked straight past my ex holding his new girls hand, chance meeting showing how small the world really is. It startled me for a moment, I won't lie but also drives home some truths. I wish I was in a place in my life where it didn't effect me but it does feel like you were "somebody that I use to know"

My sister in law gave me this idea and I like it so I'm going with it, this is my vision board for my new man.

He has to have dark hair and be athletic and conscious of his health and appearance
Be smart in either business or overall knowledge
Funny and easy going
full of energy and happy
enjoy sports and competition
love entertaining or being entertained and have lots of friends and be family orientated
enjoy life and reward themselves for hard work and have a desire to travel
Most importantly know how to communicate and express himself and not run from issues
like alone time and can relax with nothing to do
Is not scared of physical work and knows how to maintain a home

and Give me butterflies 🙂

This is the man I wish to meet...I'm happy to overlook some qualities but most of these are important to me
