My divorce is final today!
Life is a test,
Life is a trust.

Congratulations! Not the words you thought you'd want to hear a year ago, but I'm happy that you are happy today! :) :) :) :) :)

Looks like I've come full circle.

Am I happy to be free... or happy to be free FROM him?
Meaning - if I am happy to be divorced, why am I looking for another man to spend time with?
Hmmm - very thought provoking.....  :think:

Free to persue the single life.  Variety, it's the spice of life. :biggrin:  You may have to go through several dating experiences and by the time you are done, you may choose to be alone anyway. I think you have already found that you can't rush a new relationship. 

My advice....don't look, love will find you.  And if you have already found it, don't worry too much, it comes back if it's meant to.

Are you looking for another man to spend time with or are you trying to avoid being alone?

I mean this earnestly since you asked a rhetorical question.

IMO, the true answer lies within that, BEG.

Just yesterday, my husband & I had a discussion about "being single". (Not to be mistaken with a seperation). We "compared notes" on the periods of "singleness" we've both experienced since dating age, and sadly HE won. He went a whole 2 years without a steady girlfriend....I didn't truly last a year without seeing someone.

So, it made me do some introspection. Even when I thought I was single, I truly wasn't...and I think it was that I don't like being alone...no matter how much I declare my "independence".

Do you know what truly makes you happy?

You hit the mail on the head, Sunny!  :yes:

I did alot of soul searching last Summer and Fall. With being in counseling, I worked (and I mean WORKED) on what makes me happy and what I want. I learned that no one person can make me happy, just like I cannot make anyone else happy. I am the ONLY one that can make me happy and that has to do with the choices that I make. I think once I reconciled that, I then began looking for someone to enjoy life with.
