Love ... Is it in the Air?

ANNOUNCEMENT: My girl got married Friday. After 3 years of being engaged (I don't know why people do that), she finally gave in and married her son's father. And they are HAPPY. I'm so proud of her ... and happy for her. She has matured into a beautiful woman ... she amazes me sometimes at the rate in which she grows. But she's a wife now ... and she definitely is playing the part ... as she has been for so many years. I love that girl ... lol. She's been there for me like no one else. And for that ... I'll never let go or let anything/anyone come in between our friendship.

**Moving on to ME (I know I'm selfish, right?)**

I definitely think love or some premature version of it is in the air. I've come to understand and accept that love is PATIENT ... you cannot develop it before it's time ... you have to give the 'seeds' enough time to receive the proper nourishment like water and food before the flower of love blossoms ... lol. Anyway, I'm being totally patient and understanding with my new friend. First of all, I have been known to love 'bad boys' ... which is probably why I've had so much pain in my previous relationships. Nevertheless, my new friend is the complete opposite ... matter of fact, he's kinda 'white boyish' ... and I love it!! He is so sweet and wonderful ... and most of all, the man has a great sense of humor. He's close with his family and he loves hips and thighs (I have plenty of those). So, yeah, I like him ... I like him a lot. Yet, I'm being very calm and reserved about the potential of there being something more with us. I'm enjoying getting to know him and what makes him tick ... basically, I'm enjoying the development of a new friendship. However, I definitely see him in my future ... whatever role he may have in it. Unlike my prior relationships, I'm nurturing this situation by developing a friendship and being patient, understanding, honest, and realistic about the future. **Sigh** But I really am digging him.

**And the now the finale**

I'm so excited about my life right now. Things are so wonderful. Not b/c I've met someone new but b/c I'm understanding me more and more everyday. I'm maturing before my very eyes ... lol. And I love it. I'm so thankful to not be in my previous situations. I thank God that He relieved me of those negative situations ... and placed positive ones in my life.
