Gmum, It sounds like you live on the east coast, maybe you are not too far and i can swing by and pick you up, lol. What is a 3 or 4 hour car ride if you get to dance for an hour or 2 (okay 4 hours), then a 3 or 4 hour car ride back, LOL


(You probably live in California and I am wayyyy off!)

I cant imagine us 2 together at a singles dance. Those poor poor men wont know what hit them. I know I would have a total blast.

Yes, the guys do keep me up at nights sometimes, but I am grateful for it. Gone are the days where I spend my nights praying God will restore my M. Gone are the pointless hours of me going over every word he said to me and what it might mean.

At the last dance, a song came on that I have never heard before. Misty by Johnny Mathis. In my defense I was only days old when this song came out. So when the band started playing it, I told my dance partner I have never heard this song before.

I thought I knew practically every oldie, because I LOVE oldies. So it is rare that I come across one I dont know. The band was only playing the music for Misty, which is a kinda slow song. When he heard I did not know the song, he pulled me closer and sang it to me while we were dancing. It was so sweet.

Yesterday, when I was driving home from work, I threw the song on my phone (thanks YouTube) and I just could not stop smiling thinking of the dance. It doesnt mean anything. I am not gonna marry the guy. But instead of driving home thinking that I am alone, and I will be alone for the rest of my life, or thinking about the millions of ways OW is better at things than me, or thinking about how my bills are suddenly piling up because of christmas, or thinking that I have a ton of things to do for the kids tonight (dinner, homework, laundry blah blah blah) and no shoulder to lean on, I was smiling from ear to ear remembering strong arms and a silly voice singing and old song in my ear.

Gmum, I dearly wish you lived closer. It would be great to go out with someone more my age. My friends are all 65 and older. I love them to death! They have more life in them than most younger people I know and I would not trade them in for anything, but they still think in a lot of old fashion ways and they do not completely understand my generation. Yes, I know I am probably way older than you, lol, but a girl can pretend, cant she?
