but she does seem pretty wrapped up in herself.

going through a divorce at 60 the idea of a new relationship scares the crap out of me. so afraid i would just settle for someone who wanted me. which is how i got into that 30+ year marriage.

part of me thinks it would be so wonderful to be swept off my feet, and holds out hope for a grand adventure. but those are so few and far between. and i aint that cute any more.

i know this, tho. i would not settle again. it feels too good to finally be steering my own boat.
your brother shouldnt either. what is the point of getting out of the frying pan just to land in the fire?
