I know this sounds so cliche, but... sometimes the best way to find something is to stop looking for it and allow it to find you.

Sometimes, when we are so engulfed in the act of finding whatever it is that we are seeking, we have the tendancy to overlook it, even if it's right in front of us, or as it passes before us. We over-emphasize our focus so much on that one specific thing which we are seeking that we sometimes simply don't see the whole that's in front of us.

Always keep the faith that you will find your love, (or that he finds you). He IS out there...It's only a matter of time that yours will come to pass.

Fate has a way of delivering us suprises when we least expect it. It's the faith that we maintain that provides us the allowances of that fateful day.

You have a beautiful soul, Marjan. And certainly cast an allurring aura. With that light casted, you are certain to attract one in the same.
Patience and faith are your ali's.....although that isn't much consolation, I know, especially with it being your birthday and wishing you had your honey to spend it with....(pretty hard to cuddle up to Patience or Faith, I know).

Lol...If its any consolation to you.....There comes a point in time that, for some, (such as in my case, tho...I think this has begun years ago...lol), once reaching a certain age, one tends to forget that a birthday is even coming to pass....(perhaps it is a subconscious thing in which some of us WANT to forget, lol)...though, I don't think that's my case. For me, my birthday had become "just" another day years ago...and I prefer that it isn't acknowledged...especially by hub.
I hope this won't be the case for you in your years to come....Not exactly a 'happy place' to be for someone who doesn't want to be there.
(I doubt this was much help......lol....sorry...I tries tho.....)

Take care and again, Happy Birthday!!
