Donna's Daily Diary - November 30, 2009

This is an update on the couple I matched in July, she moved in with him in September and, she called me ten days ago to say she was moving out. She called today to say she moved out this weekend and she is ready to meet someone new. She said she has learned her lesson about taking it slow. I asked her why the relationship ended and she said “I have no clue.” I said “That’s too bad because if you don’t know why it ended you might make the same mistake again.” I believe everyone comes into your life for a reason and there is something to be learned from every relationship. Identifying what did and did not work in each relationship helps you to become more focused on what to look for and avoid in the next relationship. I realize there are some people who cannot or, do not care verbalize why a relationship has ended but one of the biggest gifts you can give someone who has been special in your life is the truth. The truth about what did work for you and what did not work for you, negative and positive. Hopefully they will reciprocate and do the same for you. If you hear similar comments, complaints and, complements from more than one person you have been in a relationship with, you should pay attention.

Thanksgiving 2009 is history and Christmas 2009 is three weeks from Friday. We are in the middle of the holidays ending a most unusual year. I see the light at the end of the tunnel because I work with so many people who choose to believe, as do I, things are getting better. This holiday season I once again recommend more joy…less stress.

I have two appointments tomorrow that I am so looking forward to. A man, mid 40’s, divorced, an attorney with an alternate profession and another man, early 40’s, a military officer, who is ready to make his personal life a priority, marry and have a family.

To be continued tomorrow…………………………………..
