May everyone have a good holiday AND offer up thoughts and prayers of appreciation for those who served and sacrificed for this country.
Jill,
Thanks for the congrats on the job, I am quite thankful for pretty much everything about it at this point. Like I mentioned in spanish (LOL) earlier. They had to fire the guy before me so, in comparison, everyone seems to be really grateful that I am now there. The guy before me did things his way and that created major problems for everyone else- me, whatever the rules, policies and procedures are, that's what I'm going to do.
"Church friend" is potential XGF#1 ( "XGF" or potential GF #2 was the more recent relationship exploration, the woman I was with over 20 years ago for a period of 2 plus years).
Church friend in alohaland- Nothing happended between us but after being together in a group for 10 days, I determined that we would clash as a couple. I also felt no spark or chemistry towards her. Before leaving on the trip, we had been at some prayer meetings and I had looked at her with a curiosity and appreciation for her passionate heart which made me wonder what might happen on the trip. However, "serving" together confrimed that I need to pursue her no further. I really care for her as one of my sisters at church but that is about the extent of it- she is an awesome woman but not the one for me.
There were three other ladies on the trip, another of which I could not see myself with either. The other two were lovely (speaking about the inside as opposed to outside) ladies that, if they were in my age range, I could see praying about pursuing. These "assessments" are more of intellectual exercises or curiosities about what qualities I now appreciate in a woman, I didn't go on this trip to find a wife .
So, I remain an eligible bachelor. (and a content one at that)
