The Right One

Thoughts that flit through my brain ... sometimes I wonder how that can be? Or do others have thoughts, too, and just don't acknowledge them or write them down?

Today's thought was on love, romantic love, finding The One. 

How do we .... what causes our mind, our heart, to want that? And what builds up little things that factor in to finding that love?

As I look back on my life, I realize I wasn't a very good example to teach my daughter about finding The One.  I thought I had found that three different times. Do daughters want/need to find someone like their dad?  I'm sure there's a Freudian thought to all that.  And maybe that's why each of my three didn't last ... none were like my dad. Did I want or expected them to be? Was that part of my failing? 

Even now, at this late point in my life, I can find one or two good reasons to go looking for love.  But just as quickly I can go to "nu uh, no freaking way" do I want to deal with another man in my life.  

But what if he was The Right One?  

Can there be The One in the later part of life??

The tune running thru my mind is "some day my prince will come .... "  was that Snow White?  Was all the expectations of love and happy ever after just a build up created from some fairy tale?? 

Love. Nothing easy about it.

But at least there's good cloud porn from time to time.!
