Chapter 7 - The Broken Mirror
A break from me… here is a short story to ponder….
The Broken Mirror
A man walked into an antique store one day hoping to find something special. As he slowly walked up and down each isle, he was growing more disappointed that nothing caught his attention. He wanted to find something, although he wasn’t sure what it was he was looking for.
As he turned into the last section, which was...
Chapter 6 - June
New month, new perspective.
So what is going on. My children are finishing their activities. I’m participating in tons of volunteer training. I’m a bit more busy than I want to be, but once the training is over, it will be better. Right now the Domestic Violence Shelter is every monday and wednesday from 5:30 - 8:30pm. It wouldn’t be so bad if I didn’t work from 7:30 -...
Chapter 5 - Shopping ... Round 2
Okay, I haven’t been out on a date in a couple weeks. Its actually been nice, but…I’ve decided it’s time to start again. This time I am going at it from a different angle.
I was at a scout meeting the other night when I stopped for a minute and looked around at the men. Most of them are pretty good looking. They are fine examples of men with good character and high morals....

Chapter 4 - Run Away or A New Activity
I have really had an epiphany due to Mr. Darcy…that I need a change in my life.
Okay, it’s not really an epiphany, I know I need a change. I wish I could run away and start over. That is the one thing I hate about romatic comedy type movies… the characters all have really really well paying jobs and no bills. That is just not the reality. In the real world the average pay is not...
Chapter 3 - Mr. Darcy
I have to tell you about Mr. Darcy so you understand my belief that he and I are actually meant for each other.
First, if you’re not a Jane Austin fan you will not understand the reference. Mr. Darcy and Lizzy are two people who are at times arrogant, proud, judgemental people. They are from different economic classes, Mr. Darcy is wealthy and Lizzy is poor. Later in the story… they...
Chapter 2 - "Shopping for Men"
Oh, where to begin when talking about dating. I haven’t dated since about 1992… that is around the time I met my husband, we married in 94. So, needless to say, it’s been a while.
I will admit, I wasn’t very good at it the first time. I have always liked the activities that guys liked… so I ended up doing a lot of activities as a child with boys. Needless to say, by...
Chapter 1 - My New Life
Let’s see, where to begin. I’m a 43 year old divorced women. I’m a bit overweight, but cute, by my standards. I bring it up because its relevant in chapter two. My divorce was finalized about 6 weeks ago. To understand the extra recovery you need to know that I live in Virginia. In Virginia, if you have children, you have to wait 12 months before you can divorce. Of course,...
