About

My name is Finding Heart. This WordPress blog was started finally after a long spring break, March 2007.  Archives earlier than March 07 came from a Blogger account, but everything should be search-able.

This blog is about me and was started during my search for me, for meaning, and for that heart which I lost contact with. (Don’t give me any shit about the preposition rules!)  Much has changed for me in the last two years. I’m awaiting an official membership into the Lou Diamond Phillips club after the manner of my wife’s leaving. But I hold myself to certain high standards that mandated a clean and friendly divorce. The X and I are still friends and we maintain custody as close to 50% each as possible. I couldn’t fight for more due to state mandates and my youngest’s age.  I’m single and desperately miss the company of a woman companion, a friend. I lost trust but gained self-respect and new meaning.

The center of the universe for me revolves around my two kids. Mancub is now 6yrs and CuriousGeorge is 4yrs. I am so proud of them and have enjoyed watching them grow up. My heart aches knowing what they will eventually have to deal with in their family.

My earliest posts did a good job of documenting where I came from. However, I have come a long way since then. I am stronger, but with faults. I am hopeful, but maintain apprehensions.  I may cuss and long for the meaningful physical contact of a mate, but I do consider myself a Christian and try to do my best to live a good life.  My posts vary between encounters with my kids to the daily crap that tends to steer by boat… often into the rocky shore.

Please leave comments, if nothing more than a short “Hiya pal.” I do this for me, but the honest feedback from people who are not stakeholders is strangely comforting. I do work to answer each posted comment, so subscribe to my comment RSS to keep up with comments as well as posts.

Thanks for dropping by. Ya’ll grab a mint on the way out the door and have a great day.
