My UFO (unbelievably fabulous observations)

[hoosiermama]

thanks, fig.

I've never really casually dated. I've had a handful of relationships that almost all grew out of good friendships. So when people suggest I date around, it's kind of a foreign concept to me.

And this one, too, began as a very good friendship--a very close and very comfortable one about 28 years ago. And the reconnection has been warm and supportive, with some sparks. This will develop slowly if it develops into something more--and that's fine.

I don't know where it will go; I don't even know where I want it to go. I just want to keep doors and windows open to what might develop and listen to God whispering to us. We each have a lot of healing to accomplish--and we've each come a long way in the 2 years-or-so since our respective spouses left. But feeling accepted unconditionally and loved (without defining what type of love--good thing we're not Greek!) is a very healing thing, and that's what we've been able to provide for each other on this journey. It's a good start.
