so as i ponder my current status as a single female, i find myself feeling a mixture of emotions. i am so very blessed with three fantastic daughters. i cannot imagine wanting or needing more in my life than those lovely people. that being said, i will not have little girls forever. at some point, they are going to grow up, move out and have their own lives (i hope!) at which time i really don't want to be alone.
i have always thought i function better as half of couple than as an individual. i don't know that everyone feels that way. it is how i feel, though.
according to those whom i have dated recently, i am a wonderful woman. now, i happen to think so too, but it's always nice to hear that from others. but it also leaves me to ponder... if i am wonderful, then why am i alone?
in an attempt to get an answer, i asked a dear friend, who is also a former flame. his advice? quit looking. he said that the moment i quit looking, what i am supposed to find (or who i am supposed to find) will appear. as an incredibly impatient person, this is not the answer i wanted. however, as an intelligent and experienced person, it is exactly the answer i needed to hear.
so thank you, craig. you have helped me more than you will ever know. i shall stop looking. i shall let God guide me to that whom he has in mind for me. and i will stop pondering those things for which i am not meant to have an answer.
and i bet i'll sleep better too! ;)
