Hey Lise,

I've been reading your saga and just wanted to tell you what a great attitude you have. I know its probably not as straight forward as it is on paper but I think you are SO cool and I'm sure the perfect guy will show up when its time. I had my heart broken by someone I thought was my perfect soulmate and that time in my life was so miserable - hugely depressed, angry etc etc etc. However, looking back, I realized that getting over him was the biggest growth experience in my life. I also realized that I just didn't think I was worthy of him; my self confidence came through that healing period hugely improved.

Now we are good friends and he kicks himself for breaking my heart! In retrospect, if I had met him as I am now, we'd probably do great HOWEVER, in the interim, I really did meet my soulmate and I wouldn't want the darned heartbreaker anyway! HUMPH!!! (although, I do admit, its kinda fun knowing he knows he blew it! )

Just thought I'd share my story as an example of everything turning out okay in the end. Your happy ending is coming too!

Tracy

ps. Since you are doing your first century this summer, why don't you hoof it on over to Utah and do LRRH???? Come on Lise, its gonna be SO fun!!!
