When I misplaced my car keys and went on a house hunting turn-my-life upside-down frenzy, I always managed to find them. When I was looking for love, my life was turned upside down but I always turned up empty.
I can look through me and find a series of stale romances. I can see instances when the love was not there but the comfort was. I can find a series of “stayed long past the expiration date” relationships which had soured on the shelf and yet I refused to throw them away.
It’s funny, this life we lead, when matters of the heart are concerned. In most cases we allow the reality to be clouded and we don’t listen to the deep recesses of our minds. We stay because we don’t know any different or perhaps out of fear of loneliness.
It’s hard to pinpoint the reasons when you are actually living them but hindsight is 20/20 and suddenly the answers appear.
I do know that I have listened to pep talk after pep talk and advice (both solicited and unsolicited) and yet still made the same, for lack of a better term, mistakes.
So I gave up and moved on. I found solace and comfort in the relationships in my life that were tried and true – my friendships. I took dating out of the mix and was resigned to nights alone in bed with my kitty and a full social calendar of fun and friends.
And then the strangest thing happened…I met someone.
Of course, as the age old adage goes, it happened when I least expected it and when I wasn’t looking.
I could wax poetic about how amazing this person is – the man who holds my attention, the man who makes me smile, but I won’t (well…at least not today.)
I will say this – he is perfect. Not “perfect” in the sense that I will shove a big mouthful of “this is what the perfect man is like” hooey down anyone’s throat. By “perfect’, I mean perfect for ME. Our similarities and personalities mesh and where we are different, we somehow manage to compliment eachother.
I can only say what is true – I have actually fallen in love. When we speak, I get lost in his words, his eyes, his voice. He makes me laugh and he makes me think and he brings a sense of calm to my life! I look at him and know that this is the person who I want to hold hands with, down a tree-lined path, when I am old and gray and my gait has slowed.
I suppose I had a catchers mitt on one day and managed to reel in one of life’s little curve balls. But I’m happy to be back in this game. I am going for 7 full innings, a bit of overtime and then retiring with the pitcher who tossed me this ball!
If I have ONE more work meeting to discuss productivity levels I will need to be placed in a padded cell.
Why is productivity low, you may ask…….Because we are all in freakin’ meetings discussing how to increase productivity!
I mean really….let’s sum up all our problems with one word, shall we….”meetings”.
And while I do believe that power point is a great invention, I need not see another power point slide of ANYTHING…..EVER….AGAIN!
And while I am on a roll….let’s outlaw the following words/phrases:
1) synergy
2) moving forward
3) FYI
4) let’s think outside the box
UGH!
(that sound you just heard was my head exploding)
