Explore Happy…

I was unable to do my Date #6 event last weekend, as I had planned. I definitely plan to get a date under my belt this week. In the meantime, I saw a couple of daily/weekly blog post challenges that are relevant to my personal blog journey and thought they would be fun to include!

The Daily Post, Daily Prompt challenge is to write a blog post around the one word prompt Explore. Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge for the week is Happy. I feel these 2 challenges in tandem are very pertinent to my blog because that is the quest that I’m on. I’m not only Exploring Happy as an individual, but am also exploring happy as a newly single Mom with my two boys in our new life as a family of 3.

Exploring playtime with the Blower:

I am exploring life on my own pursuing my 50 First Dates With Myself challenge and I’m trying to adjust to not having a man person around to help play with my Nuclear energy dudes. We spend a lot of time outside together. Our favorite activities are to venture out on various hiking trails in Saguaro National Park and riding bikes together.

I often feel overwhelmed and like I’m not equipped to handle the massive amounts of energy put out by my two little spark plugs on my own. I feel stretched so thin and like there is never enough time for us to just be together. My worries about that fade when we’re outside playing together or we’re inside snuggled up watching a movie. When they come to me for extra hugs and kisses and they squeeze me so tight, I know they feel my love for them. I love them so much. They are my heart’s Happy and my Smile.

Date #6 is coming soon!

Hi! My name is Corinna. I'm a 45 year old mother of 2 boys, ages 6 and 3. I was married at the tender age of 20, but we started our love affair when we were 18. My story is a very familiar tale of young love that struggles to build a successful life and family, but later self destructs in middle age in a very stereotypical way. I was married for 24 years and my divorce was finalized in 2017. I won't go into the details of my marriage failure in this blog because it's more about my journey to start my new life and to discover who I am apart from the person with whom I spent the majority of my adult life. This blog is also not about abstaining from the male species or dating people other than myself. I simply want to commit to taking myself out on 50, well deserved, first dates and journaling the process. There may be juicy stories along the way, but you and I will discover that together. Thank you for joining me. ❤️
