  I went with Gabby to a birthday party today for a little girl in her Karate class. It was being held at the Karate school. I was not informed that the only other people that were going to be there was family...and Gabby and me. The little girl is the niece of the owner of the Karate place. It was the weirdest, most uncomfortable thing in the world, but we made it through. As long as I can find a way not to break Gabby's spirit when disciplining her...my daughter will be a Leader. She has the most uncanny knack for bringing people right up under her thumb. Watching her with other little kids is amazing...they all turn into HER "pack".
These are qualities that no one really has on either side of her family...unless that's only because the rest of "us" had our spirits broken. Gabby is truly a gift beyond belief, and I really, really need to learn to appreciate it, and not let the daily grind get in the way. Online dating: Truly a strange, but maybe good thing. It seems to be becoming more of the way to meet people, and it's very scary. Yet, at the same time...exhilirating? Hmmm...I think I've already said too much in some weird way. I'm not sure I'm being very honest here, and I really don't know what to say that I can say. Ok, I'm leaving off on this subject until I do know what it is that I want to say.
Have you ever done anything or met anyone and just known things? This usually happens to me with everyone that I meet...I just kind of KNOW where it's going. Any takers on why it is that people, only in western society, have to follow certain rules when "dating"? And why it's not ok to just go with it.............? Stepping outside the box is so hard and so unaccepted. I am.....
