Reminiscing and Compromises

Sitting here trying to behave this very morning
My mind drifted to an old rancher without warning

What if we had met fifty years ago
Before our hair appeared as fallen snow

Before my teeth went bad making me a gummer
But that is not all that has gone south and bummer

Despite gravity taking away the appeal of youth
And no interest in smooching at the fair kissing booth

I am wondering about necessary important compromise
Would it have been possible, should the occasion rise

Could he that has Angus and she with Herefords out back
Compromised and raised white faced baldies so black?

I shan't ever tell! :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: but yes :). It isn't something that will or could happen, but it gives me pleasure to dream about what might have been. ;)

Its not to late. These can be your best years. Your happiest years. One thing I notice about getting older is I can still do everything but just not near as much so instead of working all the time I can take it slower and just enjoy everything haha
No kids at home makes life better to.
I actually thank God now that my wife left. What a blessing. Thought I was to old but way happier now with new one.

I am so glad you found a great wife and have found happiness. You are young enough to have a lot of great years. Due to medical issues and unfixable disabilities, it is too late and impossible for me to be away from specialized medical care or carry on a meaningful relationship. It isn't to late for me to have a virtual rancher man that I care about, so that is what it is and will stay. His emails and photos bring me a lot of happiness. :)

What we believe becomes our reality so if I was you I would change my thinking. If you're Christian then I don't understand why so many believe that what was possible 2000 years ago is now only possible in the next life. The key is we have to believe with all our heart with more faith and then the mountains can be moved.
Don't settle! If you and virtual rancher can't make it reality then both of you just be friends and move on or decide to make it happen but dont settle.

Everybody seemed to think I should just get a dog. Haha glad I didn't settle. You guys don't realise how bad things were looking for me about 3 years ago. God brought me out double and things are still getting better all the time. I'm not bragging. I'm witnessing and wanting others to have the same optimizing and faith if that makes sense?
I thought I knew what I wanted but God had much bigger better things planned. The people that I thought I wanted had to leave so new better people could come into my life. Its not just new wife and friends its health and business. Happy and contentment. You can't comprehend how God can change everything around for you. Its our thinking though. That can limit all the good that God wants to bless us with.
We all have that voice on our head. Its to late,to old,to many mistakes and all this negative thinking. But heck we are Aggie's. Auction Marts are casino's. Next year it will rain! Haha how many of you waited for everything to be just right before you bought cow's,equipment ,machinery or had perfect conditions to plant seed? Haha So kind of same thing. We have to believe and have faith.
Saying to old or health not good enough to find love is like saying a horse is to old to learn.
I know all about bad health. Haha had doctors tell me I was in denial because I wouldn't accept their doom and gloom. I dont get my health from them and neither do you guys.

That was just a low uncalled for butt ugly evil blow, there Webbie! :mad:

My keyboard must have stuttered when I posted about my distain for arrogant team ropers that thinks their tight jeans with the big W on their butt makes them every girls dream. Their inability to start with 20' in their loop, put a big red X on that yellow big W. Did you miss my story about those days at the Haines rodeo when some of us girls used condiments from the hot dog stand to put a red X with yellow highlights on those hot shot roper "cowboys" big W backside? That was back in the day of squeeze bottles. The condiment packages of today took all the fun out of delivering rodeo humility. :ROFLMAO:

Now Big Mud, I never had much interaction with old Haymaker. I never received any response to my suggestion that we might make great music together. Perhaps the tone of my guitar wasn't to his liking. Maybe my suggestion that he would have to play second fiddle upset him. :sneaky:

I knew if I jerked your chain hard enough I would get a response.

Back to your original post. We all have regrets or wonder what if. Had I only turned right instead of turning left. If the car hadn't broke down that day where would I be today? I know I have hundreds of them. Some which are real serious that bother me at times. But today is the first day of the rest of my life. So I go forward with a smile on my face. God has a plan for me and I trust him. I am just along for the ride. I can't wait to see what the next thing God has in store for me is.
I finished my irrigation chores, am about to eat breakfast. Then it is off to town. It is Tuesday so 10% off at D&B. Then go get my ears lowered. It is going to be a great day.
