My Walk Home

A new life sounds exciting.  I guess it can be.  When I moved in with Ray it was a "new life" for me.  When we moved to Royal Oak...oh such a fun new life.  Buying our condo in Douglas....how exciting.  Then the Kirby House...ahh the Kirby House.  Something that will ALWAYS be a part of me.  What an exciting new life!  But these were all familiar for me.  It was with the love of my life.  Raymond was with me for each and every one of these adventures.  When I have made my new life now...it's different.  There is no familiarity.  I am embracing it.  But it's not the same.  I think if Ray was here with me as we went through the change in life it might be different.  Or maybe not.  Maybe it would be nothing like I dream. 

I struggle every day.  I struggle to accept my life.  I've really been wholloped into a new life.  It's a good life.  Don't get me wrong.  There is just no familiarity.  I guess that is what I miss.  Familiarity.  It takes a while for relationships to grow...to mature.  Drew and I have been dating three years.  Things are getting "familiar" but not like a relationship of 21 years.  We're growing...I'm growing.  We are a work in progress.

I walked Harley today.  This is the picture (above) I took as we walked back home.  It's really nice.  But, am I ready for a more "urban" scene?  Stay tuned.  - Jimmy
