I am having more moments of mental and emotional stability with regard to the youngling. And that makes me happy, especially given my history of fear and hysteria around men. The Omnium prayer for mental and emotional well-being and health has been an incredibly helpful tool. So I’m feeling more balanced and stable all the way around, not just emotionally.

Last night, we were out at the same venue. We decided to leave about the same time and were chatting on the way out. He asked me to hang out for a bit, the first time he’s asked to spend time with me. Of course, I said yes, even though it was very late. We just sat and talked for an hour or so. It was nothing major but I just enjoyed spending time with him, getting to know him a bit better.

I’m not sure anything will come of this, beyond making a good friend and some really great personality chemistry. But I think I might finally be able to enjoy this process – getting to know him, as a person. And that makes me feel really really good.
