Thanks. I've made a few strides. I have also allowed myself to try out some very casual "coffee dates" over the past couole of weeks. I am simply enjoying learning to be me again. No expectations about making things into a hested romantic R with anyone. The concept is simple. Meet for drinks snd snacks or coffee and something for desert and just get to know peolle and practice "being me" as a single person again.

One thing I do see from this....I am really raw inside and am nowhere near wanting anything more than good food and some good convo. I just wanted to stick my toes in the water and see what at felt like after almost 2 decades. It feels strange but I have made some new friends and that's been nice. The poeple I've met with have no illusions as to my place alone this walk. So they also understand I'm not looking for "the one". I am enjoying seeing different personalities and learning more about myself too.
