Sounds like a women who knows what she wants. And probably knows
how nice guys work - slowly and in need of a push.

Probably a bigger surprise to you than her, but women are often
smarter on many levels. Thank goodness for that.

Enjoy the moments however they unfold. What is revealed on the
outside is not the same as what is revealed on the inside.

We all have our health issues. Just means life is more precious as we
become more vulnerable. And the spirit only grows old if we let it.
Our bodies, well, another matter, but perhaps it is the fragility of
the body that pushes us to grow in other ways. I sense you have a
youthful spirit. That is all that matters. Suffering, unfortunately, a
part of this world, but how you let it help you grow or shrink is all
that rally matters, plus connecting with others. Let it all open your
heart and vision, and marvel at what is greater than ourselves.
I hope the best for you. Thanks for sharing the precious moments.
