My UFO (unbelievably fabulous observations)

[hoosiermama]

Thanks,Ellie.

The thing is, I'm not at all anxious to date, nor am I really looking for someone to spend the rest of my life with. I've had 2 Epic Fails, which have left me sadder, wiser, and far poorer--I honestly may never be able to retire. I would not feel "incomplete" if I simply continued to heal, raise my daughter and launch her into a happy and successful life, and developed some good friendships. I definitely wasn't looking when this came along; Texas guy was an old close friend I looked up online to see how his life turned out--like a dozen other old friends--altho very few replied. He and I happened to be in the same place, going thru the same stuff, and in the beginning we clung onto each other like 2 drowning people. Fortunately we're both grownups, we have decades of counseling between us, and it sorta righted itself and integrated into our lives. The few times we've met since them have been great, but between the baggage and current crises, it brought us here. I'm grateful for the support, and I think we have a good friendship-- but now I know I'd be foolish to expect any more than that. And that's that. And I don't feel any need to get out there and look around--I'm fine where I am. I need to keep healing, keep growing, and keep raising my daughter--and that's all I need. Well, some friends would be nice, too.
