TO DATE OR NOT TO DATE?
I TOSSED AND TURNED AROUND IN MY BED FOR YET ANOTHER SLEEPLESS NIGHT.FOR HOW LONG AM I GOING TO CONTINUE LIKE THIS,I ASKED MYSELF. “BUT IM TOO OLD'”.I TOLD MYSELF. NO YOU ARE NOT”. ANOTHER VOICE TOLD ME. AFTER ALL, THERE ARE PEOPLE OLDER THAN YOU AND ARE STILL ON THE DATING SCENE.
OH. IM SORRY, I FORGOT TO INTRODUCE MYSELF TO YOU-HOW RUDE OF ME. ANYWAYS, IM 60 YEARS OLD(I MEAN YOUNG) AND A MOTHER AND GRANDMOTHER. MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE BEEN SEPARATED FOR ALMOST 20YEARS. I HAVE 5 GROWN UP KIDS WHO ARE ALL HAPPILY MARRIED WITH KIDS OF THEIR OWN. MY HUSBAND HAS SINCE MOVED ON (LIKE 2YEARS AFTER THE SEPARATION), WHILE I DIVERTED ALL MY ENERGY INTO RAISING MY KIDS.NOW THEY ARE ALL GROWN UP AND HAVE FAMILIES OF THEIR OWN. BUT DEE. IM SO HAPPY FOR THEM AND I THINK I HAVE DONE A GOOD JOB. I GO VISITING ONCE IN A WHILE, BUT THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS THAT IM LONELY!!!
I DONT LOOK FORWARD TO BEING AT HOME ALONE.IM HAPPY WHEN IM AT WORK, BUT ON GETTING HOME-THEREIS NO ONE TO TALK TO. I DONT WANT TO LIVE THE REST OF MY LIFE LIKE THIS COS I THINK IM TOO YOUNG(THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS THAT gOD HAS BLESSEDD ME WITH YOUTHFUL LOOKS AND I ACTUALLY LOOK 45 YEARSOLD. ) ANYWAY,IM BORED AND HONESTLY WANT TO BE WITH SOMEONE. .OOPS, I FORGOT TO MENTION ALSO THAT I GET A LOT OF ADVANCE FROM VERY DECENT MEN, BUT I FEEL A BIT UNCOMFORTABLE GOING INTO THE DATING GAME AGAIN. MY HUSBAND IS REMARRIED WITH KIDS OFHIS OWN.
BACK TO THE QUESTION AT HAND.DO I DATE, OR DO I REMAIN SINGLE FOREVER?
SOMETIMES, WE ARE AFRAID TO TAKE A BOLD STEP IN LIFE. AND THROUGH MY LONELY NIGHTS OF TOSSING AND TURNING,I HEARD A STILL SMALL VOICE TELLING ME TO LAUNCH OUT INTO THE DEEP. IT TOLD ME THAT IF I DONT DO IT, I WONT DO IT!
IT WAS AS SIMPLE AS A-B-C. I CAN NEVER CATCH FISH IF IM STANDING AT THE SEA SHORE.
SO, OFF I GO, WISH ME ALL THE BEST AS I TAKE THAT VERY BOLD STEP TO DATE AGAIN.LETS HOPE AND PRAY THAT I MEET THE RIGHT GUY(DID I JUST SAY “GUY”?) SORRY, I MEANT MAN. I HOPE HE SWEEPS ME OFF MY FEET. DID I MENTION THAT IM AT A VERY NICE RESTAURANT HAVING LUNCH ALL BY MYSELF?
‘”WHAT AM I SEEING?” THERE’S A FINE MAN THAT JUST CAME TO SIT AT MY TABLE! WISH ME ALL THE BEST.
