Love After All

Recently a friend of mine gave me a copy of an article that appeared in Oprah Winfrey's magazine, "O," in November of 2007, entitled "Love at Last." It reviewed six lessons the author hd learned from her investigation of those who find love late in life. Two of the lessons, keeping an open mind and being open to reunions with old friends and lovers, seemed to focus more on the issue of being flexible and willing to try out new as well as old things...and people...again. Other lessons focused on being persistent (Lesson 4: "Try, Try Again") and optimistic. Lesson 3 entitled "Say Your Prayers" focused on faith and belief that good things could still happen in your life, perhaps with some Divine intervention. Last of all (Lesson 6: "Enjoy Every Moment") emphasized keeping the focus on the present. One day at a time, a good philosophy. Finding our creating love at last requires resilience.
