    Hi Sisters,
    Just wanted to share this story. Last night a girlfriend and I went out for dinner. We used to know each other and do alot together about 10 yrs ago and lost touch.

    She is a CPA and I needed tax work done for my divorce, we have been back in touch with each other for about 3 months. She got divorced 2 yrs ago and was is a really bad 20 yr marriage. A yr ago she started to date this man, he’s 66, shes 51 and when I would go see her about my taxes shed say how happy they were and what a nice guy he was and although I’m happy for her, never gave it much thought because I have a REALLY bad taste in my mouth about men. I also thought he sounded kinda old for her, but overall didn’t give it much thought.

    Anyway, I picked her up to go each and when we were driving off she says ” there’s Virgil!” his office building is close to hers and he was driving out of the parking Lot. Out jumps this adorable and handsome man with the e
    energy of a 40 year old. He was so nice and just a joy to talk to. He adores my friend and she says he’s ways been a complete gentleman to her. He’s weathy, is a successful attny, and they are so happy. I found it inspirational that maybe good relationships can be found and true happiness.

    Hi NAP,
    It is really really important that we remain open. But our openness has a truth underneath it that knows the patterns, the rabbit holes, the blindspots of our own lives. So we can trust ourselves to be honest about who and what we are attracted to and why.

    I think it’s all a part of the healing journey. We close up shop in order to clean up the disaster aftermath. We are forensic accountants with our own lives and our SA lives. But we can not live like that forever. Eventually we have to trust our own lives enough to be open to the happy ending (or happy beginning and middle). When it’s time to be open, we will know. Maybe something is opening in your life, dearest NAP, to the possibility that life can be deep and rich and have a relationship in it, with a man, if you want it, or not, if you don’t. YOu don’t have to do a thing. You just have to enjoy the possibility that love exists.
