I remember talking to the teller at the bank a number of months ago and he assured me that "good things happen to good people". I disagreed and mentioned that I grew up on a farm and that I learned as a young boy that somebody had to shovel the manure.

This time of year is tough on us all and we often thing back to what "might have been". I know that I do.

Perhaps this wasn't the answer you were looking for, but I hope it helps to know that others are right where you are now (in my case minus the new possible partner).

Thank you Andrew, it does help...a lot.

I guess then, it's about bringing the focus back in on yourself again. It doesn't matter what happens *out there*, it's about how you decide to deal with it, and how you decide that your own inner world is going to be.

I have so much trouble with this. I keep looking outside for answers, and the answers are always, always already inside you.
