Love the Way We Love

A+ Action

A great big virtual 'Happening Heart', from me, to the wonderful woman standing in line behind me at the Young Street dollar store on Thursday night. At the checkout I was informed that the debit machine was down, and as I counted all my change at the counter, I discovered I was short by about $1.20 for my purchase of twenty packs of stickers (to go along with my students report cards). Flustered, and tired after a long day, and thinking the stickers would have to be a no, was happy to have this woman (who it turns out was a daycare teacher and guessed what my purchase was for) come to my monetary rescue. Thanks again, so much! Hope someone did something nice for you this week. —Tired (at the time) and Tire-less (as in 'owning no car') Teacher

To My Blonde Bearded Boy

I will forever be thankful for the day I decided to steal you away. The way you make me feel is indescribable; I have never felt so beautiful, so precious, so worth something as you make me feel. You love every part of me, even the kinda ugly parts, and that makes me feel like I could conquer a mountain every day! Thank you for trusting me and taking the leap of faith that brought us together. I can only hope that I make you feel as wonderful as you do for me. —Blue-eyed Blessed Babe

It's been a year, of ups & downs, but all in all, an amazing year..

Posted on Sat, Jun 29, 2013 at 9:12 AM

I walked off the steps of the Ocean with my then fiance, my hopes high & soaring.. From Toronto I came, having left a life of loneliness & sadness..

I came here hoping, praying that this would be a new life, a great rebirth into an amazing adventure with my lifemate by my side..

My hopes were killed, after only a few months, not by my love no, that part of my life hads been incredible, getting married, beginnings of a new life..

my hopes were killed by the provincial disability pension/supports system, & by the inability to get the medications I need, the food I need & the financial stability to exist..

I am now forced to use a power wheelchair fulltime, have gained 70lbs, inaccessibility in this city is the worst I've experienced in canada so far.. only 55% of metrotransit bus stops accessible.. No jobs for multiply disabled people..

BUT the people here for the most part, make up for the failings..

Thank You to the amazing people that have over this amazing year, become close friends, Thank You to the amazing bus drivers that have been so accommodating & understanding..

We have found amazing trails to walk, amazing places to visit & have fun, the incredible ferries that are so much fun to ride, so many things that we never would have imagined..

Most of all, I just want to Thank my furrball, you are my rock, my sanctuary in a life of turmoil, a life filled with pain, poverty, despair & frustration, I am so happy I came here to be with you, we are proving your family wrong..

I cant wait to spend the rest of my life by your side, cuddle-chasing, hand in hand, hearts entwined, souls melded together by God.. Thank You my Love.. —furrlover, hot-wheelin' in Red Rocket.

Dear Hipsters of Halifax

Thank you for amusing me for many years and making Halifax a more colourful place with your goofy styles and apparent lack of self-conception. You guys crack me up! :) —sniddly crosby

Don't let a smile fool you

I am not sending this because I am mad nor sad, I am sending it because I am rather glad. I thought when we started to hang out that it might go somewhere, but I think you knew all along it would not. Perhaps I am not as naive as you thought. There is a whole other side to me you didn't know, and its too bad you didn't give me the chance to show it. As a farewell I wanted to let you know that you have a beautiful smile. That was the first thing I noticed, because I love when people smile. It was nice to know you for a while, and I wish you good luck with wherever life takes you. No need for having to pretend this one is about you, it is. —The date square girl

Till We Meet Again....

Posted on Fri, Jun 28, 2013 at 11:37 AM

Dear sweet, funny, and handsome Halifax paramedic, you were so kind to my sick family member that day you arrived at my front door. You not only helped and comforted her (she's fine btw) but also made me smile and laugh like a 12 year old girl as I rode along with you in the front of your ambulance. I just wish I knew your full name so I could find a way to contact you and finish that great conversation and flirting. So, if a certain handsome, young, salt n pepper hair, almost 7 feet tall paramedic is reading this...I really hope to meet you again but under better circumstances. —SillyOverYou

I miss you

Posted on Fri, Jun 28, 2013 at 11:34 AM

Hi. I just wanted to let you know that I hope that we will get back together some day (and stay that way until one of us kicks the bucket!). Of course I know that I have no control over whether or not that happens. And I know it's not up to you either. Only the HP knows for sure. —I'm impatient!

Hurling Irish

To the very handsome Irishman at the base of the Citadel who explained his sport to me, I have a confession: At first I was intrigued with the details of the fastest game on grass, but it was your big brown eyes and great smile that really kept me asking questions. If you're not already taken, how do we meet again? —Smitten in the Sunshine

Much love to everyone who has left their job for a better life balance. Life is too short to waste on toxic environments and fair-weather friends :) —ResilientHappiness
