Good morning Plebeians,

It has been several months since I last posted anything of real worth… My Christmas post aside, I finally have something to say to the two or three of you still reading this piffle. While she doesn’t know it yet, a woman I’ve only known a month is destined to be my significant ‘other’

Typically, I don’t go out on a limb like the above statement, but I feel reasonably certain she feels something for me. Or not… What do I have to lose?

She is five years removed from the death of her long-time husband, and wants to move forward with her life. On the surface, one might be tempted to close the door behind you, dust off one’s hands, and open the door in front of you jetting to the next adventure.

She has taken on the solitary task of sorting through her late husband’s clothing, tools, pictures, and other personal items left behind. This can’t be easy. I estimate her to weigh at most 100 lbs. but she is tougher than any Swanson’s Salisbury steak I ever had!

She is subjecting herself to a potpourri of emotions from sobbing, happy, lonely, and hysterical to those private heart-felt experiences only the two of them shared.

This is a lot to ask from somebody regardless of the situation so I’am going to wait as long as it takes until she has put the past to rest and begins her life anew; allowing herself another chance to embrace that sweetness we call love.

That was pretty mushy and I apologize but I adore this woman!
