Wow, this new world is an amazing place!

It's been another six months...I have to get back into this blogging thingy!

I've now been single for just about a year and started dating again in November. I've met some wonderful men, I've met some crazy men, I've met some men who think middle-aged women are sex-crazed freaks. I dated one gentlemen for several weeks and our work schedules just didn't allow us to develop a real relationship. I've learned about myself and I've been through enough relationships to know what I don't want in a relationship and I'm finally old enough and wise enough to start recognizing what I DO want in a relationship.

I'm learning what I like in life, without basing that on someone else's opinion or building my life around their likes and dislikes. I fully believe in supporting a partner in whatever they want to do, but I shouldn't have to drastically change my own belief structure to fit in their life or for them to fit in mine. Yeah, I know, I'm a slow learner, but at least I'm learning and enjoying the lessons. The man who is currently becoming involved in my life is funny, good looking (always a plus), smart, witty, intelligent, can hold his own in a room of people, and is really teaching me to open my heart again.

The side effect of having a social life is that there is little time to knit, create, stamp, whatever. So I'm just going to use this more as a journal to keep everyone informed of all that life is currently offering me. I am learning to love life again and opening my heart is resulting in some good times with lots of laughter. Hope y'all can say the same about your lives this week.
