The Secret

On Sabbath we had a very nice older lady that used to live in our area visiting. I ran into her in the ladies room, and she offered to share with me her wisdom on how I can get married.

She went on to say that I just need to travel more...yep, that's it, just travel more. She said that although she loves the Bay Area there just aren't any men there and I should travel around and see what I can find. And while I totally appreciate her thinking of me, it is one of those bits of advice that doesn't really make sense logistically. For one, traveling is expensive and I certainly can't afford to travel all over, and second, I have traveled...all over. I have been to the Feast in England, Scotland, Wales, Italy, France, Israel, Jordan, Portugal, England, England, Jordan, Escondido, etc. I have also been to a Young Adults event at least once a year for the last ten years. Sigh

I do deeply appreciate her sharing her advice and if I had more money and more time available to take off from work I would probably do more traveling.

And quite honestly, I appreciated it a lot more when she said at my age I had plenty of time...when I asked her how old she thought I was, she said, "oh, about 22 or so?" (and no, she's not going blind). I almost kissed her! When I told her my age she said, "oh, you might want to hurry then!".

Um, ya think? :) It is a good thing I have a good sense of the ironic.
