The "Love of your life"... is like a motor home...
There's an old saying... there is two times in your life when a motorhome owner is most enthusiastic. One is when you're buying it, and the other is when you're selling it. In between, it's kind of 'ho-hum'. This actually works on the idea that a person that can't have something, want's it more and more. But when they have it... the excitement and 'yearning' disappears. Human mind 101.
long story:
I wandered into my local liquor store [as usual] and see the same lady behind the counter, as usual... I tell her "My favorite Bar-tender" and she laughs and smiles as usual (first time I used that line, btw), and went on to get my weekly supplies and went to finish the sale at the register. It was then I noticed that she had been crying. She had put on her usual happy person appeal, but I couldn't help but notice that her eyes were wet. I didn't make note of it immediately and did my usual "Good day... lovely evening..", but I finished with, "so how are things in your life these days?". She told me, "Not good, ..,um, they are good.... [long pause], it's really bad because I'll be divorced soon and my ex is a really horrible person". She mentioned a few other things, and I tell her that it's very important to understand that she is now on a path to make her life better, and it's bad now, but every day is one step to the finish line".
... long story short. The RV that I was looking at, is not as desirable anymore. But, because I'm wise, I will understand this concept, and if someone upstairs has a plan for me... then I'll let it happen.
