And what of Love?

Dating for some women is hell. And for others like adding sugar to your morning coffee.
It occurs to me all this time later, my mother never dated even though she was only in her forties when my father left. My single girlfriends in Los Angeles and Chicago although beautiful and intelligent sit home alone. Raising children alone like my mother did. But this new generation of single mothers, my peers, are sexual woman. We are nothing like my mother was at forty or are we. Hmmm... My male friends equally beautiful and intelligent are alone or in between dating tweens disguised as 25 to 30 yr old woman. When I was 25 I was having fun and I knew it all.
Only now do I realize I was just learning how to ride a bike.
I used to say "I still don't know what I want but I know what I don't want." Happily I am learning what I want. or are we learning who we are as woman, mothers, friends and lovers.
Either way knowing I love men, I love life and I love love; my quest now is to find my happiest ending.
