What was wrong with the HGTV Dream Home Winner???
What was wrong with that woman? and her whole family? It was so wierd. HGTV built it up and such a surprise and so many hopefuls were glued to their TV and looking down the street, like I was! It wasn't a surprise at all. It was so dumb and she wasn't even excited. Her family all hid in the background like someone was stalking them. I e-mailed HGTV and told them that this was the worst ever! What a waste! I would have been ready to fly down that day! Was she drinking everclear or something? And she mumbled something about a early birthday party for her as hers was in June. I couldn't understand what she was mumbling! I hope HGTV does a follow-up like they have done in the past to find out what happended to the house and the family that won it. Doesn't the winner usually go on Oprah or something? Something I gotta see....... teehee
I'm 46 and feel my life has become flat and empty. What can I do to feel alive again?
46 is not too old to start something new. I was 46 when I sold everything I had and moved to the US to marry my wife :)Find yourself a job coach and figure out what you'd rather be doing. I think that's a very good first step to get your zest for life back. You have 20 more years to do something you really like.Finding a new partner is hard when you're our age. Especially when you're widowed, that's a vast difference with divorce. You've got to mourn, and with children that's a tough period. But I think that things will open up more when you find yourself back first.Don't you have old wishes laying around somewhere, doing things that you never did? Old hobbies that you neglected?Something that helped me finding myself back was doing volunteer work. Go do something artistic with sick kids. Help out in the soup kitchen. Coach the baseball team.Your life is empty because you are not there to give it meaning. You are letting yourself go with the flow, forgetting who YOU are.Find yourself back. Love yourself. Care about yourself. Find yourself worth the effort. Because you are.
