		<description>Thank you so much for your great insight and being able to put into words and into the light, the wonderful state of a quiet, centered heart. I have also noticed that I attract horrible, damaging people in my life when I am not centered. I tend to let my imagination fill in the blanks and believe everything a person tells me and twist it to fit in my little scenario.
Last time I allowed an ugly frog into my life, I almost lost the will to live on, it was after the death of a parent and I was too emotionally weak to judge him by his actions. 
I could not understand why this emotional blow was hitting me so hard at a time when I couldn t have been more fragile, now I realize that it came at a time when the learning would impact me the most. I have made the conscious decision to select people in my life more carefully and know that I will never allow anyone to promise me the moon unless I have the certainty they have built a spaceship that has my name on it.</description>

		<description>Whoa.

Once again you hit the proverbial nail on the head. Before I go on, this post reminded me of the time when I was married and I wanted to smash (her name here) in the worst way. You know the phrase: &quot;If I wasn&#039;t tied down she&#039;d be HIT!&quot; Now that I actually have clearance...nothin&#039;. Her Name Here is still bangin&#039; and all that, but the urge is gone. Not even a &quot;too late now&quot; thang...just, gone.

I won&#039;t lie, I still have some urges (as you acutely pointed out) but the need to get with that person is nowhere near as strong as it was a year ago. No, I didn&#039;t let how I looked slow me down mentally (if anything, it made me work that much harder)...I assumed I was just gettin&#039; up there in age. Turns out it&#039;s what you wrote. Urges aside, it feels real good that I won&#039;t break down into a state of boo-hoos &#039;cause I can&#039;t get with someone, or to even HAVE to be with someone. I enjoy my own company thoroughly; as you also so eloquently stated, you can be alone and not be lonely. This is not to say I won&#039;t be tryin&#039; to get with anyone down the line...just doin&#039; *that* is so much fun!...it just won&#039;t be out of sheer desperation and need.  

Keep the lessons comin&#039;.

		<description>[...] Heh. Funny. I just wrote a blog about that (sorry if the link is self-promoting, but I SWEAR it&#039;s exactly about just this thing). Get outta my head!  I&#039;m fine alone, but I&#039;m fine with someone. Almost. I&#039;m getting there.    __________________ Join me, and live the Lush Life! Read my blog! [...]</description>
