Walking Around Like a Kid In a Candy Store with No Money
As I pause to review my last fourteen years as a single dad I am not in a hurry to begin a new summit attempt with a new person.

Don't give up on love. It's out there. Make sure you're putting out a message that's going to attract the right people.
As long as we are getting closer, and we are learning from our relationship mistakes, we can pick ourselves up after a breakup, knowing that we gave 100%. And, more importantly, we are closer and better equipped for the next potential partner that agrees to join us in "the arena."
My partner has to grow beside me in her own fascinating ways. If she's not growing, I'm going to find myself alone on a mountain wondering why you chose to not come with me.
When you are involved in something vigorous, your attention and judgment are often heightened. You are more likely to get a true read on a partner while you are playing tennis, for example.
If I believe in a higher plan, if I want to navigate with star maps and not treasure maps, then I can be IN LOVE and AT PEACE even in this painful pause. The pain has a lesson for me. I may learn something new every morning and every evening. I am learning.
Alone I am able to focus on these thing without distraction. I have no other pulls on my time and energy. Alone my general state is happy. But I long for a lover and companion.
