For the gentlemen that I’ve come to know through this site, I thank you for that opportunity. Even if it was just briefly, I enjoyed each of you and thank you for allowing me into your world. It saddens me when I see so many that have had bad experiences on here….and it saddens me even more when it appears those experiences have jaded them. When something doesn’t work, it doesn’t have to be bad, it just has to be something we learn from. And for those people who choose to play games and hurt others on purpose…well, I will always believe in karma. *grins*

So, after some hope and much thought, the time has come for me to step away from the dating sites for awhile. It would be nice to say it was because I no longer have the need of such sites…alas, that’s not the case, but rather I’ve come to realize I need to spend some time focusing on working on myself ~ for if we cannot be the best in ourselves, how can we be at our best for and with others?

I wish you all the best of luck in finding someone very special. Remember, there is so much of all of us that is not on the surface ~ don’t allow the surface to stop you from finding what may be the treasure you’ve been searching for.

A Creed to Live By
by Anonymous

Don't undermine your worth by comparing
yourself with others,
It is because we are different that each
of us is special.

Don't set your goals by what other people
deem important,
Only you know what is best for you.

Don't take for granted the things closest
to your heart
Cling to that as you would your life, for without
them life is meaningless.

Don't let your life slip through your fingers by living
in the past or the future.
By living your life one day at a time, you live all the
days of your life.

Don't give up when you still have something to give.
Nothing is really over … until the moment
you stop trying.


Don't be afraid to admit that you are less
than perfect,
It is the fragile thread that binds us to each other.

Don't be afraid to encounter risks,
It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.

Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's
impossible to find.
The quickest way to receive love is to give love.
The fastest way to lose love is to hold on too tightly,
And the best way to keep love is to give it wings.

Don't dismiss your Dreams. To be without
dreams is to be without hope.
To be without hope is to be without purpose.

Don't run through life so fast that you forget
where you've been,
But also know where you're going.
Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored every step of the way.
