Wanted :

The holidays were wonderful.
Thank goodness the year has turned.
I am ready for the new adventures coming my way.
Yes there will be times that I can not be found....again....but it is worth it.
The tenative plans are this:

1) Going to Korea last part of April and into May to bring my bestest friend, Marty, back home to the USA.

I know ...he will argue and kick and scream about it...but SOMEONE has to talk reason into him. Besides..I am sure there are SEVERAL women around here that are looking for his return.
Me?
I have CHORES for him to do. LOL

Actually the plan to travel to Korea is real for me.
What a great opportunity to go and I have free accommodations and a guide that even speaks some of the language! Really proud of you Martin Joseph Rehder!

2) I plan on selling the condo and buying a house closer to all of my activities.
It is okay for me to live a little further from work.
It doesn't run my life.

3) continue losing the weight

4) convince Bob and Sharon to stay as my roommates....and share a much bigger home closer to Sharon's daughter who is pregnant for the second time! Brea informed us all on Christmas Eve. She and hubby Sam found out only 24 hours earlier! WHEW!

5) Find a partner to share my life with....but I am gonna work slow on this. I have plenty of time to do this. I am young (okay at heart and not in years) but I am tired of hiding behind 'safety' defensive manouvers.

6) Spend quality time with friends...and my kids if they will put up with doing some of the things I enjoy.

7) getting back into my artwork...ALL the different things I do.


It isn't a long list...but I like it and the choices.

I am a different kind of woman I think.
I deserve to have a man in my life that WANTS to love me as I am. I want to be in love.
Nothing wrong in that either.

Lets see...I have been told that it is best to have a defined list:

He will be...
in love with living,
compassionate,
and communicate in depth with me
not be into changing me but willing to grow with me...
and I with him.
He will understand what to play, laughing, being silly, and in what being serious is.
He should like to camp, to hike, to rock and tree climb, to ride bikes (street and mountain), and to run (as long as he has patience in my slowness) on the trails.
He doesn't have to like kites but have the willingness to lay down on a blanket with me while my kites are flying.
He will like children (especially GRANDCHILDREN...hint hint Amanda and Jordan).
He will be intelligent and curious and willing to try new things.
He will above all be honest with me. Not afraid to open up new topics of discussion because we can both grow that way.
He will want me in his life also.

I know that sometimes I require a little private time...and he will probably want the same.
He won't be afraid to ask questions.
He will be gentle with me and still be strong in independence and hope.
Spirituality is important.

So this is what I can think of so far.
I am allowed to add to or take away from this list, but I doubt that there will be "take-away" anything.

I inherently believe in the good in people...and I do wait to find out what is exposed in personality before I dare to open up totally.

I know...I know...here she goes again.
Want Want Want...
So what is wrong with having a desire that I share my happiness in life with a partner?

Nothing.
I am even wiling to meet my friends and families 'recommendations' but please remember...
I am selective. It has nothing to do with looks, It is about CHARACTER! INTELLIGENCE! HONESTY!
Have learned to be selective and no, I do not make it easy for someone to get to know the REAL Circe.
That is okay, too.

I am WORTH taking the chance on.

SO the New Year that so many greet with joy and partying...I am meeting with curiousity and desire.

I have heard several times from friends that I am 'so wonderful and giving' that i guess it is time to receive and accept the good intentions.

Of all my friends..the ones that read this will understand where it is coming from...and why.

Time to be the "Full Time Circe" that I know and so few get to see.

Hopefully sometime or other....who knows maybe in 5 years?...I will be introducing this man to all the wonderful people in my life and he will introduce me to all of the wonderful people in his life.
Could be sooner...Could be later. I have patience.

Now....to borrow something Marty always tells me:

It's ALL good, Baby! All good.

Nighty Night!

Circe
