I am so sorry, my friend, that someone else has disappointed you.

My last relationship disappointed and deceived me deeply and after what I had been through with my marriage, I was done. I was fine on my own. I was starting to rebuild my life. And after meeting many men at various functions, I felt sure that I was good as I was.

I know I put out that vibe and I was fine with it. And what R asked me to dinner, I wasnt going to go, but, I figured, what the heck. I dont know why he asked me out again, because I made it pretty clear that I was alone by choice.

You know how that went. My point is that I think you should just live your life. Concentrate on your daughter and school and anything else you may be able to fit into your busy schedule. Find something that peaks your interest and do it.

I truly believe it is when we are really and truly good with ourselves, that we open up to what the universe has to offer.

Please do not allow what this man did, to in any way be a reflection on you. It really didnt have anything to do with you anyway. Really. It was his agenda and it didnt matter to him how he went about going after it.

You have so much to offer the world. And it is way more that what you look like..though you are beautiful on the outside. But your worth is really in who you are on the inside...and there is so much there. Your love for your family and friends, your personality and your big heart, your loyalty and your sense of humor and your willingness to be completely yourself. Those things are what matter. And there are people who will see that. Unfortunately, there are many who are wont bother to take the time to see it.

Their loss, G. We have become a throwaway society who wants instant gratification. You,being an old soul, dont get that. Nothing wrong with that either.

Just keep going, my friend. Keep growing and getting stronger. Continue to live your life by your rules. Do not ever lower your standards to accommodate someone else.

Love you, sweetie and loved spending time with you.
