These Two Thoughts Are Not Related

1. I enjoyed meeting Steve.




2. I'm ready to fall in love.










These two thoughts happened into my brain around the same time. But they're not, particularly, related. Necessarily.

Hi Victoria, I'm glad for you for both (un)related thoughts. Somewhere in your brain, they may be related, but not necessarily to each other...meeting a decent guy may have been the trigger for the second thought, but not necessarily with him.

I believe I was in similar shoes to you before I met my wife. I had not any serious girlfriends, was 28 and living in smalltown Ontario. I had pretty much given up dating and resolved myself to my introvert life, which was fine with me. Then I met my wife, went out a few times, fell in love, got married, and got an instant family. I feel in love with her and her three kids (aged 2, 4, 6 at the time). Going from bachelor to dad of three overnight was certainly not anywhere on my radarscreen, but I keep an open mind. I'm glad I did because I wouldn't change it for the world. It really helped that my parents feel in love with her and the kids and supported us the whole time. The kids are 19, 17, 15 now and we're a happy family that does lots together.

My point is that now that you are ready, keep your eyes open to all possibilities...sometimes you find your soulmate in a package you hadn't considered.

If this gets stuck in SPAM, feel free to read and dispose...it's long for a comment.

There is a great Rumi quote I constantly have to repeat to myself. I should probably get it in tattoo form so I stop forgetting it, but in any case I think it applies perfectly to this post:

Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.

:)Good, right? :)
