Compass Date

They say "age is just a number." Today, my number is 45! 😁

Time for some early birthday adventures 😀

"There are no wrong turns. Only paths we had not known we were meant to walk."

When online dating, how long does it usually take you to develop romantic interest in someone or "get excited" about them?

Can't wait to hear your answers to this one! Feel free to DM if you need some anonymity. 😄

For me, it is about 5 dates. I know...that seems like a LONG time! Everyone is on their own timeline though, and it is okay if yours doesn't match up with mine or anyone else's.

So what do you think? Love at first sight, or slow and steady wins the race?

If you don't like what you are getting, look at what you are giving.

I love, love, love rainy nights on the balcony. The world is full of things that can make you sad, but it is also full of things that can make you happy. Try and spend more time looking at those happy things. 🙂

A hard truth...

Sometimes it isn't that you aren't awesome enough. Sometimes, it is just that the other person doesn't WANT to see your awesomeness.

It doesn't matter how great you are, if someone is keeping you at arm's length, there is nothing you can do but walk away and trust that things are always working out for you. 🙂

Another weekend escape...this time checking out Knoxville!

Awesome weekend with my sister in Savannah! Sometimes the best thing you can do for yourself is get out of town, even if it is just a short trip 🙂

One thing I'm really good at is taking responsibility for my mood. I know that my thoughts determine how I feel. I can't change outside circumstances, but I can always change the thoughts I have about them, and I can always choose to reach for a better feeling thought.

This past week, the mood I have chosen is "grumpy." Sometimes I switch it out for "lonely, yet antisocial."

Hoping the massage I just got is the first step towards changing my thoughts and thereby my mood!! 😂
