- Ah, the eternal question. Do you have any idea how many men
- and women both are asking themselves this very same question?
-
- ARCers... you know of what I type, yes??
-
- All I can state is what others have told me countless times
- when I raise my voice to the clouds and shout the same laments:
-
- Never wash white and red underwear together.
- (no, no, that's not right...)

- Hey, it's tough and I'll be the first one to tell you so.
- I'm going to be 36 (gasp!) years old in two months, I'm still
- in school and have one divorce that's pushing seven years.
- I get caught up thinking that I'm never going to find anyone
- again, especially when so many of my friends and my sister are
- in *terrific* relationships of their own! And I pout and cry
- and stomp my feet and shout at them, "It's not fair! YOU have
- someone to love! What about me?" And they all say the same
- thing in response: "I found this person when I stopped thinking
- about being alone and stopped looking for love and accepted my
- life as a single happy adult." And guess what? As much as that
- tidbit of information sucks canal water... it's right on the money!
- Once I started focusing on my schoolwork, on my job, on just
- being with my friends and enjoying their company, instead of just
- being with them out of default because I had no "special someone"
- to share my free time with... that's when guys started coming out
- of the woodwork to want to do things with me!! And now I don't
- have enough free time to spend with them! (Which is a bummer,
- since one of these wonderful fellas is beginning to become just
- a little bit more special than the others.) When I "let go"
- of "wanting to be with someone" and just accepted my singleness...
- that's when things started to happen the way I wanted them to.
- And take it from my friends... the process of "letting go" for
- Judi was a very painful one. I hadn't a clue of what that meant
- for the longest time... but I didn't give up hope, and stayed as
- open to change as I possibly could. Now I know just what my friends
- were trying to tell me about accepting singleness and letting go...
- and I know 100% now, for sure, no doubts... that someday in the
- near future, I will be with my "special someone" again. No shit. 8^)
