Dear Hallmark, Lifetime, Love, Etc--Channels---
I am finally at the point in my life where I can watch your networks--channels-ad nausem-and I must admit I am beginning to become a little nauseated.
How many movies can you make about "Happily Ever After"---"The Right Person Always Wins"--"True Love Overcomes All"---etc etc etc? Perhaps I am a little jaded here on Real Life Street---BUT LOVE BITES! THE GOOD GUY DOES NOT ALWAYS WIN! When you are my age----there is NO such thing as Prince Charming---and sometimes---just sometimes---we don't live happily ever after.
I must admit---when I watch a movie---it's all about escape and I don't really want reality---GIVE ME LALA LAND EVERYTIME!
Alright--I'll just change channels when I have had enough of LALA Land---I do now FINALLY have the remote in MY hand!

Dear Match.com-part deux---
Dear Match.com--part deux,
You obviously got my last letter and read most of it---at least down to the part where I said---NEVER MIND-. I know you are busy trying to get all of the world fixed up with the perfect mate---but I have changed my mind about using your services. After speaking with a friend tonight and her relaying the story of after putting in all of her data, you replied---NO MATCHES FOUND---I do not believe I am prepared for that rejection on top of all of the other rejection lately in my life.
I would appreciate you NOT sending me any more pictures of the single men in my area in the age bracket of 30-35. I am not sure WHERE you got the idea--that I might have the slightest interest in this age group! Since both of my sons are older than these men? that you have suggested I might be interested in---this sounds slightly ---well in fact---HIGHLY BIZARRE. It was a dead give away when I saw on line names such a Stud-muffin, Hunk, Sexy, Muscle Man, Sweaty & Flexed, etc etc that I was in the wrong age group.
Thank you from dropping my name from all you blurbs for blogs and NOT considering me as eligible or interested. I will refrain from any more contact-if you refrain from any more contact.
Sincerly,
Lonely--BUT NOT--Desperate

DEAR MATCH.COM---
Dear Match.com,
My sweet friend, Mona suggested I contact you as I was relaying how lonely I am at times. She thought you might be able to find the perfect match of someone to spend some quality time with and enjoy each other's company. S0 perhaps--where I should start is by describing just what I think I am looking for----
TOP number one on the list is someone that loves God---praises Jesus---is not ashamed of the Gospel and strives to know Him better. One who is after the very heart of God.
Someone who is loyal----faithful---would never betray--loving----tender---sweet---who listens like there is no other person in the room and truly cares what is being said. Not necessarily the best looking person I've ever seen---in fact preferably NOT---clean---dresses neatly---no outlandish body art---unless it is well hiden--and smells nice.
Someone who still loves fun---doesn't mind a bike ride, a hike, a walk, a game, kayaking---adventures of all kinds. Loves to play with the children---like a child---doesn't mind a good ride down the hill in the wagon.
Someone who looks for opportunities to be with friends---enjoy laughes---doesn't mind crying occasionally at sad and happy times..
Someone who enjoys the beach, the mountains, the sunrise, the sunset and glories in creation. Someone who will work to conquer their fears for the sake of an adventure. Brave and willing to take a risk for the sake of a laugh or wonder.
Someone who has their eyes open and their ears atuned to the needs around us and strives to help without need for glory.
Someone who doesn't mind a pratical joke and would be willing to participate in playing a joke.
Someone who loves my family----thinks they are wonderful and relishes times with them. Someone who loves my friends--enjoys their company--and looks for opportunities to share times with them.
Someone who enjoys digging in the dirt- admiring the garden---and watching the flora and flauna bloom and blossom as it grows.
A good cook---a good eater---not opposed to a glass of wine---likes to sit on the porch and watch the dusk fade and sit in front of the fire and watch the embers dwindle.
Someone who enjoys reading and might even read what I write and comment
Someone who might reach out and touch just for the sake of connection and just to show their love.
WAIT---I've just described me----NEVER MIND---I'll try to do better at enjoying me---when those lonely times come.
Thank You For Your Time,
ljc

THIS IS GOOD TOO!
I know who I am and that's all that I am! (as Popeye would say)
I am a small town girl with a red neck twang and a tendacy to put it out there just as I am. No airs---no pretenses----I was born in a small Southern town----I am from middle class America & really have no desire to be anyone but whom I am. I don't put on airs---I don't forget those that made me whom I am--I don't aspire for bigger, better, richer, more exclusive---I am proud of my roots.
I love those that God has placed in my life---with no reservations----the most important thing in my life is the relationships I have been blessed with---I will be your mother, sister, friend, and "Lulu" to the day I leave you---I will be faithful and NEVER betray you. I will listen to what you say----give advice when asked---and love you without bounds or cause.
These are not bad things---I would like them about someone else---so it must be another good thing about me----maybe?

SO WHAT'S GOOD ABOUT ME????
One of the best things that I can think of that's good about me----I can laugh at myself---
I have done some DOOZIES in my day---
How many of you have walked out the door on your way to work without your skirt on--in my defense---it was a long time ago--when you still wore slips---I had a full time job and a family to raise and care for----that's my story anyway AND then told the story on yourself
How many would chase around after varmints in the middle of the night with a gun they sort of knew how to shoot and tell the story?
How many would shoot a hole in the side of the house, through the wall, through the shower curtain and lodge it in the shower and tell the story?
How many would admit being "mammary gland challenged" and tell the story?
How many would walk around with droopy drawers all day and tell the story?
How many would lock the keys in their car while sweaty and gross at the grocery store and tell the story?
I don't mind laughing at myself and telling the story---so that's one good thing about me...
Of course to some---you never admit these things----and certainly not on the WWW---appearances are most important...
But to me---it's all hilarious when I pull these stunts and I can't wait to share them with you.

QUESTIONS!
I am weaning myself off my "happy pills". I decided the only thing they really do is dull the pain you need to experience to ever go forward. So I am almost thorough the weaning process, and the pain has returned---intense---real---acutely painful!
The question that I keep asking myself---What is wrong with me?-----am I not pretty enough--smart enough---verbose enough---charming enough----on and on Why am I alone? I have to walk down this dark road---and hopefully walk out on the other side into the sunshine.
I went and voted tonight at the same precinct that I have voted in for 28 years. The ladies know me when I walk in the door--we have established a relationship over the years---I will now be in a new precinct. I cried when I left----so MANY goodbyes.
I started seeing a counselor this week--trying to move forward---since I have not been able to make that move yet. She told me to write down the verses from The Word that pertain to God's love of me and how He feels about me. She told me that I have the head knowledge--it's convincing myself now that it is a heart truth. I have only been able to write one truth down---
"I am always with you; you hold me by my right hand.
You guide me with your counsel and
afterwards you Will take me into glory."
One of the things I have missed most is the touch---I am praying that God will let me physically know His touch.
Pray for me as I pray for you----He will take us all into glory.
