Hot Summer Night
Hot summer night
It is so hot this week it is almost impossible to get a good nights sleep. On top of that, I have so much on my mind about my life and what should come next. I am starting to think that I can't keep living this way but I can't stand the thought of another failed marriage. 
When I married husband #2, we relocated to Tennessee from Pennsylvania. We were in Nashville and that life and lifestyle has lasted just 6 years. Life in the fast lane doesn't work for everybody. Don't get me wrong, I like going out and the night life but not every night and I can't stand traffic, traffic lights or the sounds of the city.
I guess that comes from growing up in the country in Pennsylvania. I love a moonlit star filled sky and the sounds of silence with an occasional cricket singing a mating call. My 2nd husband is in the music business and it has been constant parties, networking and noise. At first it was exciting but as time went on and the parties and activity seemed to be endless, it has grown old really fast.
I went into that marriage pretty well off as I came from a family that never had money worries. I graduated from Cornell Law School but did not open up a practice until I passed the bar in Nashville and opened up my first law firm there. Since hubby #2 is in the music business, the plan was that I would specialize in Entertainment Law. That worked out well for about 2 years.
I am getting ahead of myself. I skipped right from growing up in a well to do family to being married to my 2nd husband. I totally forget to tell you about husband #1.
I can't say that it was a planned marriage because those don't happen in America but I did marry the brother of one of my parents best friends. He was a good ten years older than I was and that marriage lasted 10 years. He was in my life while I was going to college and law school. He was very supportive both financially and emotionally but it was like I was married to my best friend. I know, I know, you are thinking what is wrong with that? Well, it turned out that was all we would ever be is best friends. You see, he was gay and married me in an attempt to run from who he really was. He was so worried about disappointing his family, that we spent 10 years pretending to be a happy couple. I did end up with a great divorce settlement so starting over was not going to be a problem.
The humidity is so high tonight that my huge central air conditioning units are having trouble keeping the house cool. I am going to try and get some sleep. I will tell you more of my back story tomorrow.
Looking forward to getting to know you better.
Sincerely,
