Daisy, it’s quite obvious, not only needs me -she loves me. I picked her out (she picked me) from a litter of 4 or 5 as I recall 🤔 -when she was 2 1/2-3 months. Ray, Ana’s husband (she lives with them and is Vista with me for the week), even commented “Daisy really loves Richard” (I guess from her whimpering when she sees me from the car as they pull up for an occasional visit). SHE NEEDS ME -AND SHE WANTS ME.*(**)

*A very sad but widespread thing is present in our 🌍. Alot of our human relationships are predicated on need -where there is no love (inside as well as outside the home). Many women sought to correct this issue -not by increasing love in their marriage -but by increasing their incomes (so they could leave -some I believe took the importance of their place in the home too lightly -or were treated as such 😔). And alot of relationships have desire, but no passion (love). Love should increase over time not decrease -and there’s a very simple way of accomplishing that.

**I have never really been treated, by my father, friends, women/partners like I was needed -I have often gotten the feeling, thru numerous relationships, that a lot of women feel that if a man has no usefulness… of what good are they?***

Need, desire, and want all play an important role in our relationships. Sex I would say 🤔, let me see, I’m 57 now 😄… I used to say 10%, now I’ll make it 5! Some people make it 30, 40, 50, 80%… and more! Which would be fine -except for the problems that (always) follow later!

You can never make a good decision out of desperation or fear or dependence.

***In our society it’s acceptable for a woman to depend on a man financially but not acceptable for a man to depict depend on a woman financially.. Hes a user if hes doing so. The fact of the matter is both men and women “use”**** one another. And some people don’t! There’s a difference between using people and relying on them. And I think men and women both are capable of either.

**** People use each other all the time! The question is whether it is consensual and whether it is with one’s own knowledge (You can have knowledge, but not consent -but you can’t have consent without knowledge -I suppose).*****

*****It’s amazing to me how so many people know nothing about how they feel about something or someone. It’s important for us to know:

•Where we stand so

•We can let other people know where we stand so

•They can figure out where they stand and

•in turn let us know…

And then of course, this is how people DO OR DO NOT COME TO SOME SORT OF UNDERSTANDING… alot of people, based on fear, embarrassment, or worse… hide their innermost thoughts and feelings.

Anyways, it has been a wonderful few days spent with this lovely little creature who both “wants and needs” me. Thank You Lord… in the midst of this vast and beautiful thing we call “the universe” you took the time to think of me (too) 😪
