Advice Gods grant me the serenity to view the profiles that have not been changed in years; the courage to change my photos at least once a year; and the wisdom to be honest when writing my About Me section.

Living ever day to the fullest is not what my matches want to see; Enjoying every moment of my e-dating experience is what I strive for; Accepting the bad and good dates as the pathway to my "forever guy"; Taking him for who he is, not for what I wish him to be; Trusting that he will make me happy if I take the chance I should; That I may be reasonable happy on our first date and supremely happy with a second date.

How about ... grant me the serenity to accept a potential partner who is purehearted and truthful, move past those who aren't, and the wisdom to figure out the difference!

Ah but Collective Consciousness tells us that imagination shapes reality, so if enough people believe in something it therefor becomes real.

Or in terms of logic.

1) It is a conceptual truth (or, so to speak, true by definition) that God is a being than which none greater can be imagined (that is, the greatest possible being that can be imagined).

2) God exists as an idea in the mind.

3) A being that exists as an idea in the mind and in reality is, other things being equal, greater than a being that exists only as an idea in the mind.

4) Thus, if God exists only as an idea in the mind, then we can imagine something that is greater than God (that is, a greatest possible being that does exist).

5) But we cannot imagine something that is greater than God (for it is a contradiction to suppose that we can imagine a being greater than the greatest possible being that can be imagined.)

6) Therefore, God exists.


But the logical counter-argument is as follows:

If God is All Knowing and All Powerful - Can God create a stone so heavy that he cannot lift it?

Some say that true love is, too. Next!


Were I to wish a wish for me
I'd wish for peaceful serenity:
to read with equanimity the tired phrase
I've seen again for days and days
the empty space wherein should be
lots of cool stuff, all “About Me...”


I'd wish for a courageous will:
to send my questions still
to matches who may be overdue
for a checkup, check-in, or check-out,
As the case may be, until
this hope I have be fulfilled.


I'd wish a wish for wisdom's grace
to look past my new match's face
past minor picky details I find,
past what tricks e-dating plays on my mind,
to see the real and true, honest case
to end the running of this rat race.


Leaving behind fishy photos and bathroom pics my matches do not want to see; letting show a glimpse of the real and true me; over analyzing I shall not be. A positive attitude I shall hold, indeed; leaving out those who profiles evidence greed; yielding not to those with pathological need- curve I shall to a finer breed. A woman proud, intelligent, wise; one who is not fooled by others' lies; seeking humor, wit, and precious trust; that we may someday become an “us.”


*grin*
