On my excursion to the Barnes & Noble I came across a book that has really captured my attention. Ever since forever when I walk into a library or bookstore I gravitate to the self-help section. This inner voice is telling me that the answers to my questions are here. I just have to keep looking.
Well I went to the new book section in self-help last weekend and found something that's making a whole heckva lotta sense to me.
Living the Truth really speaks to me in a way that's unlike any other book I've read. I can feel something inside me that's different. I still have the questions but I also have the feeling that I'll find the answers before too long. The stage is set.

A new day is here
Being my first post in my new digs I would like to talk a little bit about myself. I'm a guy, early 50's not searching so much as to who I am but looking for like-minded souls.
I've been out of my marriage over 2 years now. I consider myself divorced but that will happen yet this fall. Fact of the matter is I was divorced from my marriage long before that. There's a lifespan to every relationship in this life and it was clear even after counseling that ours was at its end.
Familiar story huh? Nothing new about the love dying in a marriage. But we each have our own take on things, our own experiences, our own perspective. The same could be said about life in general. Many of us go to work each day (or night), do our jobs, pay our bills, and live our lives the best we can. But after a time that's not enough. We were not meant to go it alone; at least I wasn't. Life is best when shared with a true love.
There are things that are on my to do list long before they become a "bucket list" or things I want to do before I shuffle off this mortal coil. Things I can share with another. I don't need or really want to climb mountains or sky dive, but there are other things I want to experience with a significant other. Just having a day-to-day loving relationship with a woman who's emotionally and physically available to me is one of if not the most important thing of all.
