Shifha

I open my umbrella and car door simultaneously trying to sheild myself from the dounpour of a sudden and fierce storm. The instant I am no longer shielded by my vehicle, a strong gust of wind turns my umbrella skyward, tearing canopy from ribs.  I am instantly as thouroughly soaked as a swimmer emerging from a dive. Slowly and carefully I fold the now useless umbrella. My sundress clings to my form. I feel as exposed as if steppeng from my shower. Smiling, inspite of the undesired circumstances, I begin to walk towards my destination. My head heald high as I walk through the deluge.

Along my path I encounter a forgotten lover, an unwanted admirer, and a friend.

The lover remains forgotten, the admirer acknowledged and politely dismissed, the friend is greeted with warmth and sincerity.

Life is not about the destinations we choose. It is in the steps we take along our path.

It is not enough to see in order to believe.  Sometimes, we must believe in order to see.

"Never allow someone to be your priority while allowing yourself to be thier option."

-Mark Twain

Please do not contact me if you are wishing to "chat", want to exchange pictures, or ask me about what my "kinks" are. I really do not have time for it, nor am I interested.

and.....

I am not currently looking.

I am taking a break from looking for now. Too much on my plate.

One more day left in 2010, and I will be glad to see it end. 

I am looking forward to a new year filled with growth, happiness, and continued contentment.

I would like to wish all my friends, present, past, and future, a very healthy, happy, and prosperous 2011.

May you all be blessed.

XOXO

I have been looking long enough to know what I want in a man, and am learning a great deal about what I have no use for. I have discovered lately, for instance, that men who giggle give me the creeps. I have also learned that I need to be with someone that is at least my  intellectual equal, or I will loose interest quickly. Quirky is ok, weird- no way.
