I caught an episode tonight, pretty cute. I like the message of starting over, of being alone, yet not lonely.
The character "Marin learns that she has been living with her eyes closed for too long. Now that they're finally open, she sees the amazingly beautiful world around her, and for the first time she'll have the chance to stop and breathe."

I often times find my self wondering what others think of myself, why someone won't ask me out, what's wrong w/ me? Perhaps I need to change my thought process, perhaps God or the Universe is protecting me from or for something? Someone?

thanks for reminding me - that's on here in about an hour. I watched it last week and it does look pretty good.

You know that's a good perspective to have. They say you attract people when you are not even looking.. I met the guy I want in my life forever when I wasn't looking.

"Men in Trees" is one of my favourite new shows this season. I like that angst that she's dealing with, having always had a man in her life (since she was 14, I think she said last night) and now finding herself in such unfamiliar territory - not just Alaska, but her own "aloneness" for the first time.

Mustang Gal, I was single, very single, for so long. I left home at 18 and didn't meet my hubby until I was 36, and didn't have many dates in between! I had given up, even started the process of joining a convent (I'm serious!) when hubby waltzed totally unexpected into my life. Neither one of us were looking when our lives collided - and neither one of us were what the other was even looking for. But 14 years later, all I can say is that Somebody Else was obviously watching out for us and had plans all of His own! We could never have met without some pretty darn good manouvering on Somebody Else's part! I'm sure that the same Somebody Else is also "on your case" and working on it...and trust me, whatever/whoever (if there is a "whoever") it is He has planned for you will be worth the wait.

Sex in the city meets Northern Exposure - I like it! Mustang Gal, sometimes I have the same thoughts you have, then I get back in the moment and move on. I'm good at being alone but sometimes I get lonely and it drags me down. Nice to be able to share that. Thanks.

MustangGal, have you tried to meet a man over the internet? My brother has met so many nice people over the net. I think if I were single I would go that way as well. Maybe you've done this all ready, so sorry if I'm pointing out the obvious.
That's such a romantic story, Eagle Heart. I'm sure it gives hope to others.

Hannelore, I've tried internet dating, yet not much luck (unless men of all ages looking for a booty call counts!). Yet, I'm fine, if something is meant to be, it will, and in a forum I'm interested (education, library, sports, etc.) I'm trying Dianne's approach, act nonchalant and see what happens! I'm excited that your brother has met nice people over the internet. I have too, here!
