SIngle in St. Cloud

Well, it's not exactly St. Cloud, but if all goes well, I will be moving closer to St. Cloud before the year's out, anyway. I'm excited to have this major goal that I set for myself this year move closer and closer to reality with each passing day.

It's going to be a lot of work and probably rather spendy the first year in a new place, but I'm not worried because I know that all the hard work I've put into achieving this goal will pay off. Now I can dedicate more of my time and effort into my next goal: having a great woman in my life to care about that cares about me.

Until recently, I hadn't allowed myself the time to really focus on making great connections with other people. I'd been too wrapped up in work, responsibilities and expectations to focus on myself. It wasn't until I turned 40 that I realized how important it was to really appreciate and take care of myself.

This summer was one of the best of my entire life, probably one of my favorite summers since I was a kid. I was able to take some time off and do a little traveling, enjoy sports and music, hang out with a few rock stars and rock fans, and befriend some incredible people. Some of these people are fantastic women that I've quickly become good friends with. For now we're just friends, but the intense connections and conversations could lead to something more in time.

Whenever there's been a woman I've been interested in romantically, I've always gotten to know her on a deeper level as a friend first. I've been a little disappointed lately in one such connection because I haven't seen her in a while, but I know she has a busy personal and family life and that it's definitely nothing personal. It just frustrates me because when I get to know someone so well on such an intimate level that I can't help wanting to see her more and continue to get to know her better.

I've also ventured into the world of online dating, but so far I've been less than pleased with the results. I've had a few women reach out to me, but there's always been something about them that I'm not interested in from the start. Maybe my recent friendships with some amazing women have clouded my judgment.

Whatever happens, I know that "the one" great woman is out there for me. For now, I just need to give it time, and continue to make and expand my connections. I've been patient enough for this long, I guess I can wait a little longer.

Well, that's all I can think of to write about for now. I've been listening to a lot of great new music this month, most of which I'll cover in my annual best-of review at the end of the year. For now, have a great weekend, everyone!
