It's amazing...

The ironies of life never cease to amaze me.

Today I had breakast with a someone wonderful.  We will call her "M."  She is beautiful and smart and very talented.  Better yet she is educated and very direct.  I love that in a woman!

This falls under the category of finding something again once you have given up the search and gone and found yourself the replacement:  After verifying mutual interest with M,  I received a response today from a message I sent to V ... maybe sometime last month I think?  She's so sweet.  I will always love her.

And now I need to help hook up the woman who introduced me to my new love....  You know who you are and you have to know that it will happen!

"M" has read this journal and has been interrogating me thoroughly....

I think it will be safe to set back that "cat lady" timetable for a spell.

 

lyrics to Ain't Life a Brook by Ferron

I watch you reading a book
I get to thinking our love's a polished stone
You give me a long drawn look
I know pretty soon you're going to leave our home
And of course I mind,
especially when I'm thinking from my heart
But life don't clickety clack down a straight line track
It comes together and it comes apart.
You say you hope I'm not the kind
To make you feel obliged
To go ticking through your time
With a pained look in your eyes
You give me the furniture, we'll divide the photographs
Go out to dinner one more time
Have ourselves a bottle of wine
And a couple of laughs
And when first you left
I stayed so sad I wouldn't sleep
I know that love's a gift, I thought yours was mine
And something that I could keep
Now I realize that time is not the only compromise
But a bird in the hand could be an all night stand
Between a blazing fire and a pocket of skies
So I hope I'm not the kind
To make you feel obliged
To go ticking through your time
With a pained look in your eyes
I covered the furniture, I framed the photographs
Went out to dinner one more time
Had myself a bottle of wine and a couple of laughs
And just the other day
I got your letter in the mail
I'm happy for you, its been so long
You've been wanting a cabin and a backwoods trail
And I think that's great...me...
I seem to find myself in school
It's all Ok, I just want to say
I'm so relieved we didn't do it cruel
But ain't life a brook
Just when I get to feeling like a polished stone
I give me along drawn look
It's kind of a drag to find yourself alone
And sometimes I mind
Especially when I'm waiting on your heart
But life don't clickety clack down a straight line track
It comes together and it comes apart.
Cause I know you're not the kind
To make me feel obliged
To go ticking through my time with a pained look
In my eyes
I sold the furniture, I put away the photographs
Went out to dinner one more time
Skipped the bottle of wine
Had a couple of laughs
And wasn't it fine....

 

Love you!

Love you, too!

OK Bye!
