"To be loved for what one is, is the greatest exception. The great majority love in others only what they lend him, their own selves, their version of him."-Goethe

My friend Jim referred to your blogspot in his blogspot. I stopped in for a peek and sat here envious. After 2 marriages and myriad less-than-compatible dating experiences I had given up the search and decided to grow old alone. Didn't seem like such a bad decision until I read your post, "Today...while the blossoms still cling to the vine..."

I find myself wishing I could turn to someone and say, "Did you read what she put in her blog? Wasn't that enlightening?" But, alas, I shared it with my cats, who, less than enthusiastically made several annoyed gestures as I interrupted their rest period.

I'm too weird to find anyone whose weirdness is compatible enough to combine with mine to make mutual weirdness. Either that, or I am so weird that I needed to find someone blatantly normal to balance me out. :o)

Peace! And keep blogging. I have enjoyed reading!
