Thongs With Gems? (Starts With, Ends With Challenge)

The crazy thing about this is…

I’ve never met the guy.

I’ve spent two years of my life being optimistic, though. That can’t be a bad thing; positive thinking. Right?

I’ve spent two years hoping, wishing and praying [if you could call it that]. Two years listening to his words, his promises, his excuses. Two long years seeing only the possible diamond in the rough.

So far, I haven’t discovered my gem. But I sure have learned a lot. About myself and people.

I’ve found and bought my wedding dress, too. ...It has a few gems on it.

Yet, again, I will wait. 24 more hours.Twenty-four long hours to wait and see if that diamond will show. [It won’t. I’m not waiting anymore.]

But, if I am disappointed yet again [which, at this point, I won’t be since I’m not expecting miracles], I realize that there are other, more important things going on in life. Sad things, happy things. Other things which deserve my full attention.

I almost misspelled “things” as “thongs.”

And that’s all I have to say about THAT !
