I missed the thread.

I think of us as kindred spirits on the same path. We have been through all sorts of hell and are still standing. The strength it took to live our lives and to leave our lives is beyond any I thought I possessed.

We are building ourselves from the ground up. It's hard. We are deserving women. I know what we are searching for is out there but for me, it is finding the patience to wait. I started a list. A list of all I want in a partner. It grows each day. My friend did this before me. The man she met is her list. Hope it works as well for me.

Thank you for sharing. It always helps me.
