I had dinner with a wonderful friend last night. Thank you B. This is one of those friendships I never expected. We met through a business connection and at the time I thought I would never see her again. Wow! I was so wrong. And happy I was.
It appears so many of us are struggling right now -- relationships, work, many areas. Is there something in the air? I hope not. I am going to attribute this to the cold weather and that we're simply sick of it. This leads to believe that this will pass soon. I was so happy that when I was walking to the train at 5:30 last night (YES -- I take the subway - it is usually shoe dependent) and the sun was still shinning. A good thing.
So about taking action - this is a perfect time to make changes -- not sit back and wait. While at dinner last night B. and I talked about work and relationships -- typical I know. B. met the man I most recently dated and we talked about how crazy this situation became and how disappointed I am. And I had a great though to reconnect with another good friend -- Matt Titus. I met Matt about 4 years ago. This time the friendship was immediate and we are somewhat kindred spirits.
Matt (and his beautiful and talented wife Tamsen) have created a terrific brand. They are relationship/dating experts. www.matttitus.com It's more than match making and relationship coaching -- it's about how we think about and approach our dating relationships. He has taught me a lot -- and yes, I don't always listen, but I appreciate all his advice. And the other day I read an article Matt wrote on the Huffington Post.
And he's RIGHT (as he typically is). And we joked about it last night. And then quickly moved to how we can work together to make things happen. he is also looking for change and growth -- this is surely in the air for so many people. He has great ideas about relationship connections as they relate to the workplace and I love this idea. So Matt and I are meeting next week. I want to make things happen and take action in my life. I don't want to wait to see what's going to happen next. I don't want to sit back and let things happen to me.
When I get down, as I've been lately, and stop to think about the relationships I have in my life, I know I'm doing something right. And I need to stay on THAT path -- the one that has brought all these people into my life and on to my path. It can't be by accident that I have the circle of people in my life. And I want to grow this circle -- join hands in this circle and not only take action for my own life, but make something happen for those I've touched and those who have touched me. This is a positive move and I like the way that feels.
I am still sad about this last potential relationship. I was hopeful that this one was special -- it seemed to have promise, but as the time ticks past, I realize it isn't meant to be -- maybe not at all or maybe not right now. I am open to whatever comes but I know there isn't anything I can do about it - so I need to take action and make something else happen. And that is making me happy. So here's to a new start . . . Cheers to this!!!
