Next Chapter - Moving On

I sat here for a while tonight reviewing where i had gotten to in my last real post actually in April.

In between i talked to Georgia on MSN Messenger - how the world has moved on - and i am going to make one more small step on Jeff's journey tonight before i go to bed.

One Door Closes - another always opens (Alice in Wonderland, Sliding Doors for analogy) in my experience.

While i was not in a relationship at the time that my marriage came undone i had developed a friendship with a person i worked with (sue) through a common interest in exercise.

Sue was an Australian Basketball player - a far more accomplished athlete than I if the truth be told - and we would run together during our lunch hours in Kings Park (a fantastic place in Perth overlooking our great city).

Sue is the mother of Georgia and Paul. At the time my marriage came undone she was in another relationship with Georgia's dad, Brian.

Sue and I have been together now since early in 1993. We have never married and we are unlikely to but we have loved each other and we have managed to provide - generally - a stable and loving (but at sometimes challenging life) for all of the kids. Like all family relationships this journey has had both sweet and bitter moments, some laughs and a little tragedy.

The next chapter in this Blog will commence the journey into this relationship.

why has it been so hard to write the next chapter?

we talked about my life story blog in the car the other day and i noted that i had not written anything in it for quite a while (try May). I am not sure why it has been so hard to write the next chapter - but i have some time over the next month or so to think about it so it is going to come.

My stars for tomorrow suck so you will just have to wait till next time.
