She would do well finding a man like you.<br /><br />Mimi~<br />I'm glad you had those snapshots of a happier, more hopeful Mimi, because you know if you were like that at one time, you can be like that again.<br />Toward the end, you described how you will pucker and blow away all those complexities that are standing in your way. Good for you! Don't get hung up for too long on all the bad stuff. We can't control the most of it anyway. Life is short, so enjoy all that it gives you. There is a lot to be grateful for. And yes, keep the men standards high.<br />(Though I do think it's okay to go out with a few bozos for blog material.

I know it, and all of us have f...There is the word. I know it, and all of us have felt it ... <i> sometimes EVEN when surrounded by friends</i><br /><br />Life is such a mysterious journey. Most of what is attainable in life can be had through diligence and persistence. Goal driven people are far more apt to achieve the dreams imagined - thought to reality. Such a simplistic sentence, yet one that so few follow. It is so easy to move from enthusiasm to apathy, and not even realize when the transition occurred.<br />Love ... where does this fit in the equation? This most important human desire falls it's own category. What logic and rational thinking can accrue in a static world, have no relevance in romance. <br />Why?<br />I believe preconceived ideas and misguided energy lead us astray. <br />What? ... what am I talking about here! <br />Seems to me that most of us have guidelines in what we want from love, yet initiate standards and ideals that are reciprocal. <br />I often hear "what women want" in conversation and even while reading these sharing / revealing blogs of ours. Successful, good looking, smart, funny, charismatic, powerful, confident, etc etc ...<br />Look at these descriptive words for a moment. See what they all have in common?<br />None of them describe the heart. <i>None of them</i> ...<br /><br />Back to my analogy of logical goals vs. love goals. They seem to be related, yet are not. Could be the harder you try and find the mate that fits the image of your own minds eye, the further you find yourself lost and disillusioned by the quest.<br /><br />" <b> I will expect him to be wrapped up totally by my little pinkie. I will also expect him to take off my hat, run his fingers through my hair and see the real me </b>"<br /><br />You just described warmth, caring, empathy, sweetness, and the ability to see through the superficial outer shell into the soul. You described heart, <b>a certain type of heart</b>. The true measure of a man, or woman, lies here, deep inside, and is something that we are born with. To find that elusive "soul mate" I am fairly certain that it involves a match in "heart desires". <br />When there is a balanced flow of love sent without words nor deeds, when you see with your heart and not your eyes, when you long to understand and care for another more that your own self, when your heart hurts when separated from it's match, when your heart smiles before your face just to think about the other, <i>then there is a solid foundation</i>.<br /><br />Could it be that most of us chase emotions that are short lived? You know, the ones like excitement, elation, and yes, even lust. The classic relationship that occurs in short term is often described as having a spark that could not be sustained ... the sudden burst in pulse that wained.<br /><br />Where am I going with this? I don't know! ... although my main point is that "You cannot paint a picture of what love looks like". Unlike a trip to the gallery with intent of matching color and themes for your dining room, the heart search is not tangible. <br /><br />Like so many times, when I read your thoughts set out here, I can honestly say I understand them. A common misconception is that loneliness = sadness. It is "one piece" of the puzzle that is missing. Even with the 2000 other good pieces, <i>the last one is required to be whole ;-)</i>Speedcat Hollydalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01207240842689917922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25698471.post-47678099942824012202009-08-10T23:31:51.353-04:002009-08-10T23:31:51.353-04:00Someone else's honesty is going to come lookin...Someone else's honesty is going to come looking for yours one of these days.
