I didn’t think I could skip the topic of Valentine’s Day in my blogging without raising some online eyebrows, so I’m going to share what I know about love – it’s pretty damn random. Cupid is stupid.
Ouch. That’s possibly a little harsh. But really, is he any more accurate than your average weather man?
The randomness of love doesn’t take the search for it completely out of my hands. I still have to create opportunities for love to reach me. The trouble is that you never know if it’s going to show up during your daily Dunkin Donuts stop or at a community running club. The point being, since my divorce, I have not put my happiness and fun on hold while waiting for love. There are some things I know with certainty…my new love is not going to be an online date or hanging out in a bar. Or maybe he is in those places but I’ll never know it. By the same token, I’m pretty sure he’s not going to be in a quilting class or shopping at Marshall’s. But maybe Home Depot.
It’s the sense of randomness that makes it special and exciting when someone special appears from the most ordinary of places. But there is something to be said for maps too. Maps are good.
