Dating for dating sake, although effective for hilarious stories, doesn't really go anywhere and I dislike spending the time with someone that can be better spent doing something for myself or for my son. I also believe I need to become the person I wish to meet.
What in the hell do I mean by this?
First, I want to date a healthy guy, so I must be healthy myself. I went to see the holistic Doctor last week and I am taking a slew of natural herbs that support the endocrine system. I feel great and my energy level is increasing with each new day, so the visit has created some positive changes. I began walking every morning – 45 minutes worth – and Brian has decided that he likes walking to school with the dog and me. What's that you say? Yes, I have gone from being so sick with Hashimotos that I gave up hiking to walking 45 minutes a day. It takes Brian, the dog and me 30 minutes to get to Brian's school from our place, then I walk on to my office from there. So yes, I would say that I am feeling much better, which is an exciting thing.
I have started to balance my system with Alkaline foods, to counter act the effects the thyroid meds have on my liver. Any guy might be a great guy, but it is selfish to ask someone up front to hang with someone who isn’t well or isn’t managing his or her illness. Not to mention the fact that I want to be thinking clearly…no dates with voodoo men…
Secondly, I want a guy who is interesting and has a full life. Thus, I need to make sure I am leading an interesting and full life. I want to go back to college and take a course in something fun ... dance ... creative writing...maybe even a italian cooking and wine class.
Thirdly, I want a guy with a career and life he loves. So I need to make sure my career – and what I want to do with the rest of my life – goals are moving along. The guy must be financially stable so I must be financially stable and move from my current location into a larger place.
Have you ever noticed the type of people you attract into your life when your life isn’t where you want it to be? It is possible to attract a great person, but not recognize them or be attracted to them because of the headspace you are in when your life is on a down cycle. (Again – no Mr. Voodoo men…)
I have surrounded myself with great loving friends who emulate the life I am moving towards. Mr. Right isn’t in the local bar or club, and I have weeded out those friends into that scene. One friend is pushing me towards golfing with her, which could be a lot of fun. As I feel better and better I could be talked into attempting golf again. (Rich tried to teach me, but we fought so I agreed to drive the golf cart and make drinks instead).
If this all works, I’ll write a book: "A Year In The Life Of A Redhead or How I went from illness and despair to supreme health, wealth and happiness in 365 days online" Nolo Press $23.95. A New York Times bestseller??
Do I really have to date?
Until next time-
