Table 4 One

How this whole “dating thing” works can be completely confusing, at times!   Well, at least for me it can be!   Usually, I meet a cute guy, text for a while, have a couple phone calls, and if I’m still interested after all that… we go on a date! I am very, very cautious in new dating situations.   I always meet my date in a public place and then once I feel comfortable, I allow him to pick me up from my home.   I have to be careful who I interact with as a single woman (we all do) because you never know if this really cute guy just happens to be crazy as hell!! I’m not talking about “you so crazy” , crazy as hell... I’m talking about, hiding in your bushes, show up to your hangouts, and stalk your social media pages… CRAZY!! But what do you do when they hold out on showing their crazy?   How do you recognize the crazy before it’s too late?   A friend of mine told me, the crazy is always there, you just have to recognize it!

Professionally, things have begun to move forward.   I am making small advancements, building a great reputation, and preparing myself to make huge steps toward career advancement.   I have set goals and met them…I am currently basking in the

There’s something about the way the sun shines right after a storm that makes it so much better.   The reflections of the sun against the rain puddles are reminders that the storm has come and gone!   Reminders are the best; they show us the past, so that we can appreciate the present. Have you ever been so fixated on the past that you couldn’t appreciate the present?   My current place in life is exactly like the calm after a storm.   The birds are beginning to chirp again, the sun rays are peeking through the clouds, and refreshing raindrops continue to drip from the leaves of the trees.   Things are very peaceful, as if something wonderful is coming. Late last year, I wrote about how I was in a storm and how I was handling it, http://thistable4one.blogspot.com/2011/12/milk-and-honey.html   I knew that I needed to stay grounded and hopeful…I needed to remember that my present was better than my past and speak great things into my future!   This was a pretty difficult time in
