I don't think we should limit ourselves to any timeframe to find lasting love. Keep in mind, not only do we have to be ready, so do our potential partners. That's a lot leaving up to fate. Sure we can give her a little nudge by being the best version of ourselves, and having our eyes, hearts and minds open to our partner showing up a little less than we had pictured or imagined. Best advice my mom gave me was to live my best life… and if I'm fortunate a man would come along to join me in it, but if not I would at least have a life that was full of joy and enjoyment. So many times we hang all our happiness on finding someone who may or may not show up.. and loose the one thing we can't replace, or even buy back. Time. I believe love is out here for us all. Whether we are fortunate enough, lucky enough or prepared enough to have it show up for us remains to be seen. But we can hope tomorrow will get us closer to what we seek… And as Miss Scarlet O'hara said in Gone with The Wind.. After all tomorrow is Another Day… Good Luck!
