Shanna: Saw you today on Andrew D's YouTube video and just now pouring through your posts. Likely will take you up on the 1-hour discussion (12-18 months out from PT). Your comments hit home - divorced, tried online dating (I'm at 5' 6", but even the shortest of women at 60-ish are pining for a tall, handsome, romantic, cowboy gentleman partner? Get a grip!) Nonetheless, a minimalistic, non-materialistic, stoic, grateful life is a beautiful thing. Life should be an interesting adventure - paired or not - every moment savored. Hope to talk soon. Thanks again for your post.

Lovely piece. I am currently paired up but more of my life has been just me, myself and I, and I was quite happy that way. So often it seems like people let themselves be convinced that they need to value being in a committed relationship no matter the costs (same thing goes for having children). I think it’s a gift to be comfortable with yourself by yourself and that doesn’t mean you are unable to be open to a romantic relationship if the right person(s) come along. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don’t, sometimes they do but are a good fit for your life only for a short time.
