Haven't posted for a while but that's the way I want it; I don't like trying to write on days in which nothing much is happening...gets rather repetitive.  Anyway, Donnie is still a major part of my life and that's great..and not so great.  I've gone and crossed over the line between friendship into completely  falling  for him....oh Lord....I promised myself after Paul died that I'd never open my heart up to anyone ever again....I always acted so stupid when I was first in love with him....now I have to watch out for it happening again.....Last night he was a bit late calling and I had myself all worked up and headed into a down.....stupid, stupid, stupid!  I vowed there would be no more histrionic antics no matter what!  The wonderful thing about it is that I was able to talk myself up and out of it....and by then he had called....I can be such an idiot!  I don't mind loving him but without the foolishness......I want to live and let live as I have since living on my own.....I do have a fear that he'll eventually [down the road] drop me like he did Natalie...but for now I'll live a day at a time and not project into the future [not good]...if he does drop me then I'll suck it up, go through the depression and then go on.  But for now TODAY I'm so in love with him I'm grinning all the time....people here are telling me how much  better I look now....I suppose I do if I'm sporting a huge smile when they see me!  This sure beats depression or even neutrality!  This gives me something to look forward and to savor AND I DO MEAN SAVOR when I'm with him.  It still amazes me that he would go out with me when there's so many other ladies he could have......whatever it is I pray I don't lose it.......I want to stay with him as long as I can or God lets me.......we aren't spring chickens any more so every moment counts......Have to remember to catch the bus and go up to the hospital for my monthly blood work......I can't go forgetting it....I hope it isn't raining then so I can walk home and save my travelling money......well, tomorrow's another day!!!!!
