A Goose A Gander and some Goslings

I decided to go do something today. Billy Elliot was the winning event. It beat out Saturday Market and the prospect of flowers-yes I am still on that mission.
Billy Elliot was wonderful. The children in this musical were charming, wonderful, strong, adorable, and completely captivating! I enjoyed the music and the flamboyancy. Coal miners are very attractive all clean and singing and dancing!
I went to this event solo. It is so hard to do this. I debated for days about seeing this play. I wanted to go but did not want to be downtown late at night alone. There are many things I do alone-church being the most painful to sleeping which I am used to again and am fine with it. I cannot miss out on seeing and doing and experiencing something when the only excuse I have is being alone. I go and enjoy the event but also notice the loneliness is magnified.
I know how to be alone. It is easier than being in a relationship sometimes. Where the quandary comes in is the fact I seek companionship. I do not want to be alone. It is just what I know.
My grocery laden walk home was pleasantly sidetracked by geese! As you know I have many opportunities to see Canadian Geese. They are almost always in pairs. I love their monogamous hearts!

Today I saw babies for the first time!!! They were so fuzzy and so new. As I got closer the pair herded them away to safety without a fuss. It was so sweet and tender. My heart is so happy for the goose family.
Let's not even think about how jealous I am.

Baby geese, that makes my heart feel happy in a week that has been much less so. I am glad you went alone to the play. Except for the loneliness thing, it is good to know that doing things alone can be okay. Your time is coming, of this much I know, that you will have someone with you all the time.

Glad you had fun at Billy Elliot! What's going on with David? Thought you two were together, this post sounds makes it sound otherwise. Hope you're doing well :)

I am still with David. He has needed to work all week and I didnt get to see him as much as i wanted. It has been a really long time since I dated someone with a real job. I am adjusting and changing!

Hooray for geese! And David! You rock for doing things by yourself. I went to a concert by myself and I'm glad I did it!
