Alone Again, Naturally

Well, I've been meaning to update this blog for a while and now is the perfect time to do it, because Mr. Wonderful and I are no longer dating.

Yes, I'm single again friends.  And, surprisingly, I'm okay with that.  Seriously.

Mr. Wonderful is still wonderful, nothing changed there, but he wanted to move on.  Am I sad about that?  Sure - if it were up to me I would still date him, but that's not how it is.  This is real life and things don't always work out the way you thought they might.  I'm not going to act like I didn't make some mistakes, because I did, but at least I have the opportunity to learn from them.  It was a great summer and I met someone amazing.  I can't complain about that.

The great thing is that Mr. Wonderful reminded me that there are people out there who are crazy compatible with me.  People that get my personality, that are just as interested in music, movies and pop culture as I am, that appreciate my wacky sense of humor.  That fact is incredibly heartening. I guess I knew that all along, but I started and ended this minor relationship with him so unsure of myself and it wasn't until he officially ended things that I was able to see that.

Now, not everything about the situation was perfect, so I'm not trying to set this whole summer romance as "the one that got away," but it was a good experience.  I am usually methodical and cautious, but, this time, I took a chance.  I'm grateful for the time Mr. Wonderful and I had together.  The end result isn't ideal, but God has given me a spirit of hope and I can't really ask for much more than that. 

The other good news?  The blog is back in full force.  You're welcome in advance.
