Well this month has been hectic and busy with work and family. (and yes more wedding stuff ....I still have more events this weekend!!!)...
I have to say my work family and family are amazing and everyday I am able to be my strutting my diva stuff self (I get called a Tea Diva at work and quite rightly so as Tea is sooooo my thing!). But the main thing I am always 100% myself.....until I am around anyone I kinda take a liking to.....I turn into this shy....quiteness-silent being (which is soooo not me!!). And I hate it as I cannot control it......
I have to say I have not been active on websites for months on end this year, something inside me just felt it was good to stay offline in that area......I still think those who are just thinking about looking for someone should by all means still go through that channel, but for me personally I tried tested and a bit tired from it....for now lol.
So this wedding is a close family wedding and to be honest I'm always peacocking at weddings where I am heavily involved (Which is has been every wedding the past 6 years!) Yeah Weddings are a big part of my social life!!! But I think its an amazing way to network and meet people (not just guys!).....obviously there are family, then the bride or grooms in-law family, then the bride or grooms family from the other side, then the bride or grooms social friends and then cousins and uncle and aunties!!! So over the years I have collated more friends and acquiescences..mainly in the form of aunties, great aunts and grand mothers.....lol. I think this is a great investment, as you never know when they will pop out of nowhere and pull something out of the top hat like a rabbit! ;)
So about 2 years ago I met this Aunty (I know this was two years ago as my gorgeous friend just had her 2nd wedding anniversary and its her Aunty!) Anyway she is the one who got me introduced to Aunty Rishta/Aunty Cilla Black....I had not heard from her for about 2 weeks ...I did think I needed to call her but never got around to it due to the busy weekends and late nights I had with the wedding and juggling in work in there also. Last night I had been informing a friend about Aunty Rishta Cilla Black, and right when I had my phone rang and it was her!! I was so happy as from our first conversation we hit it off and got on like a house on fire!
I picked up and said ''Salaams Aunty you are going to live a LONG life as I had just been speaking about you!" She laughed and got right down to business....she said she had met a lovely lady who has a Son, he's 38 and works in IT in the City...I had sent two recent photo's of myself to Aunty Rishta Cilla Black and she said she had shown this guys mum but not him......and his mum liked me....She then said if I was ok with it, she would pass my number to him, but she would not show my photos to him, as he has an i-phone 5 and that me and him could swap photos bless her. She then said that once numbers had been swapped we could meet up for coffee as we don't work far from each other and take it from there. She then added that she has not been to a wedding in two years and has soooo many glitzy outfits but no where to go in them.....she also added if at any of the wedding events I was going to if anyone knew of a single man who is about 60 years old to let her know...she said there is this gentleman who is interested but he's 49!!! She said I'm looking for someone who's 60......bless her heart.....and then it dawned on me.....I knew why I clicked with this lady.......SHE'S LIKE ME!!! Gets high on life and meeting new people (as well as trying to match make myself and others at the same time!!!)......Then I thought of something else....yes there is a part of me that has to be strong at weddings as you ALWAYS hear the same thing ''your turn next'', ''you must be fussy'', or that look.....that *one day it will be your turn look with a slight arm squeeze*.
But it made me think, this Aunty Rishta Cilla Black.....her heart is so big.....not only is she looking for love, but helping others to find it too....And I have always tried to to the same.....love makes the world go around and your reason for living, everything happens for a reason and I think its up to us to see the signs, see how we deal with things and to learn about ourselves and find out what we know is best for us.....No matter what age........ :)
