Thanks so much @Bill3!

I am learning to be grateful for all that I DO have, versus focusing on anything lacking. It helps me to feel much happier and at peace in my life, each and every day.

Ok, that being said, I just found out my ex husband has a girlfriend and it's throwing me off. Emotions are irrational. I know that tigers don't change their stripes and it's only a matter of time before he pulls the same power and control crap with her. But still, it's hitting me hard. He was supposed to suffer for the rest of his life without me, in my mind. That was the deal I made in my own mind. But he's moved on and it's gnawing at me right now. Possibly mainly because I don't have anyone myself.

I met a handsome guy last night. We talked for a while and have some things in common. He gave me his business card and told me to text him when I was leaving.

I drove home floating on cloud 9. I felt a new romance potentially in the air and got excited. I said I wouldn’t date so it would take a very special man to coax me into it.

He told me he is an extreme snowboarder. I like that. I think it’s cool. I’ve been athletic in my life too. Not much lately but I have an excuse. My hip is really bad. Anyways we talked about skiing and snowboarding, in Colorado specifically. We both have lived there, a commonality, but in different years. We did not overlap.

I want to feel this out but slowly. The last guy I gave my number to I ended up having to block. Ugh. I don’t need yet another sour experience. Hence my wariness.

I’m kind of happy about it though too - it gives me a little boost and confidence. To know I still got it at the age of 54! Yay. He could be younger, not sure. But handsome. He owns his own business. He’s an arborist. We shall see -
