Not Fully Baked

Perhaps it's because I'm in the midst of what is an admittedly down time for me personally...but I'm starting to feel a little lonely.

Not in the sense that I don't have a wonderful circle of friends and an incredible family.  I do.  I am truly blessed.  But I think I'm ready to be a team.  To have someone with whom to share my deepest hopes, dreams and fears.  Someone to hold my hand and kiss my forehead when I need support.

As a person, I feel fully-baked.  Ready to love and be loved.  With the help of my Sweet Dream to guide me...I've found Me again.  And that Me would ultimately like to be a We.

I shared this thought with a dear friend of mine and he made a very valid point.  He reminded me that with all I have whipping around in my world right now...this is no time to start a relationship.  

It got me thinking...of the one thing I have said time and time again.  We are exactly where we are meant to be...

He was so right.  How could I not have seen this for myself?

I am not fully-baked after all, contrary to what I believed.  There are still things that may change in my life. Things that may impact me personally and professionally.  If I were to drag someone into all that's happening now...the end result may be spoiled.

Of course, I am meeting people and going out - but what seemed like the Perfect Fit, wasn't perfect at the time.  And save a few other pleasant distractions - my heart hasn't opened to anyone else.  At least not yet.

Maybe He isn't even HERE.  Maybe he's somewhere else entirely.  

I had to believe, to trust, to accept...that everything will happen in its own time.  That there's a reason why Mr. Right hasn't swept me off my feet.  

Perhaps both of my glass Stilettos need to be planted even more firmly on the ground before I'm whisked off to Happily Ever After land.

Sweet Dreams, 

Me
