Searching for what?

A beautiful  Friday morning... the sun is out and  not as cold.

 I was talking to a woman the other day and  this quote reminded me of her. She desperately wants to find someone to love. He has to be  young, good looking, rich, charming, romantic, love to travel, own his own home, clean, not clingy, strong, educated and so much more.  I laughed at her detailed description of this perfect person for her, because at her age, I would have thought that  she would have learned that maybe the most important thing is that he could make her laugh and feel  special. She is  retired, has a big pension, her own home and  good health.  As I listened to her  go into the negative details about all the  men who had  been in her life, I could see that she had a few faults of her own and one of them was she was looking  for love in all the wrong places.

I  asked her to imagine that she had found this perfect person. Then I asked her what she had to offer this man in return for his perfection.  She had not expected  that question and the conversation changed. She was not ready to look at herself just yet and maybe she never would. Such is life.......
