I am reminded of a book I read once called "Write it Down, Make it Happen." ... It works! :)

I got divorced in late 2004. I had all but given up on finding someone new. I'm not a social butterfly. I go to the store, I go to the bookstore. I go to work. I don't go out to bars, and frankly after getting rid of husband #2 - the alcoholic, seeking a new companion at a bar was the last thing on my mind. :)

In the spring of 2005, I became online friends with a man who lived 4.5 hours south of where I was living. We were best friends, but it never went any farther than friendship. During the course of our relationship, my job began to go south. I literally hated going to work. :( He kept me sane through that ordeal and when he suggested, "Why don't you look down here for something..." I thought "why not?!"

In November 2006, I applied for a job down in his neck of the woods. In late December, I went for an interview. January 3rd, 2007 they called to hire me. The following weekend, I drove back down, located a place to live - which incidentally, I wrote all my wants/needs down for that place and found it immediately. I started my new job on January 29, 2007. I have never looked back and working for a company that has been listed on Forbes Top 100 Places to Work in America for many years in a row has been truly a blessing to me.

Then, after I'd been down here for a few months, I decided I wanted to get into shape and get off that extra 30 pounds of comfort. I've got almost all of it off, and am at a plateau right now wanting to lose another 8 pounds or so... but I'm not gaining, so that's a good thing. :)

Ok, so you can see the picture. I've got my job which I love. I've got my health. I've got my body back, or almost back. I had blinders on in the love department, because I secretly (or not so secretly) hoped that my friend would be my life companion. He suffers from debilitating depression and sinks in and out of it randomly. He would be "fine" one day and then he would just disappear. All of his friends and family told me not to take it personally, that's just how he was. :( The song, "I only have eyes for you..." was how I was with him. We last spoke a couple days after his birthday on January 10. He told me he was so sad. He was getting better, though. He told me that it wasn't fair for me to wait around for him while he went through these episodes. I guess somewhere about that time, I decided that I didn't think it was fair, either. Especially since he refused to do anything about his depression, except ride out the rough patches. :( He wouldn't go get counseling, he wouldn't take medication... that cost money. Never mind that he had plenty. (Darn Capricorns...).

I'm 46 years old. I've been married twice. I turn 47 this Wednesday. I'm tired of being alone. I live in this wonderful new city. I was born and raised in southeastern Iowa. I grew up in a town of about 2000 people. Living here in Saint Peters, MO has been a blessing to me. I just wanted someone to share it with.

It's uncanny how the universe works... I no sooner decided that I was probably never going to end up with the Capricorn. That I'd likely be spending my time alone and I'd better get used to it.... when I got to chatting with one of the girls at work. I told her that there were a few attractive men there, but most of them were too young for me or married. I said that there were probably 3. Of course, she was curious... I told her that if she guessed, I'd tell her, but since they were married, it was really pretty pointless to even mention anything.

She guessed them all but 1. Finally a couple of days later, I told her that if it would narrow it down any, the 3rd person wasn't there that day. Hahaha she looked at the attendance list and got a puzzled look on her face. "Jeff?" she asked. I told her yes. Then she informed me, "I didn't guess him, because he's NOT married." With the help of another male friend we've gone from having no clue that the other was interested to now emailing each other repeatedly throughout the day. He is interested in me, he's good looking, he's not married. (Also, been married twice.) And.... he was right there, under my nose the whole time. I only needed to open up my eyes. :)

Our hours at work were a bit different. I work 4 Ten hour days. With a rotating day off during the week. I go in at 9 and get off at 8. He goes in at 7 and gets off at 4. Again, the universe seems to have helped that along, too. He got a promotion on Friday, his hours are now 9 to 6. :)

We'll see what things happen now that we know we're both interested in the other. He told me he was shocked that I like him and that he is a bit apprehensive about dating someone at work but may be able to get over that. :) I think he will.

I know this is more than you wanted to know. But for the first time in like forever, I'm as giddy as a school girl.

This is my sharing... :)

Subject: [JournalWriting] I also congratulate you Lori

on the prospect of a new romance!!!

I'll have to say that when you write down your goals that you want
manifested in your life positive things start to happen. I think a
dose of patience helps also. I find that impatience breeds mistakes a
good majority of the time. So I try to live by the saying "All in due
time." I sometimes watch Joel Osteen when he comes on and he did this
as a subject last week. (Manifesting and writing down what you want
to have come into your life!) No jokes please! I like him because he
doesn't come across as ultra-religious and a fire breathing christian
to me and honestly minus the few scriptures he comes up with he's
given me food for thought a lot of times on my journey of life.

Basically when I found my fiance I wasn't looking for a fellow. I was
polite and kind to Aidan but I let him know I wasn't really into
having a relationship at that point in my life. He said aren't you
open to a new experience? In my mind at that point I didn't totally
get what he was saying but I get it now. He said the same thing when
he asked me to marry him. (I guess he figured that same line of
thinking would work!) Before I involved myself with Aidan I was
single for quite a long time after I divorced my ex and was in a
naughty relationship for awhile so I was ultra cautious.

Anyhow, yes I think writing down goals helps manifest the things you
want to come into your life. Hopefully things work out well for you.

Awhile back I did a journal writing prompt of "The things the
psychic told me." Then I wrote down everything that I wanted to
manifest into my life for 2008. I'll share that writing with you, if
you'd like... some of the things are happening already.

To hear the sound of the wolf is to experience a singularly moving sensual experience of wilderness. Sound of unreachable quality, seeming weird and inhuman. But not unearthly. For it is of the essence of the creature wolf: of his spirit, his being, his truth. A transcendental song that took form uncounted millennia before time was defined. Something elemental. A living call from the past. A revelation of the very Universe.
