Keep It Hot

Dearest Donald,

The world is spinning around and you're hanging on. You make recovery look so easy, but I know better. It's lovely to see you get it together - health, work, finances, home ... maybe love ... you're soaking in it! It's good to see you in this place.

I know, however, that fears abound. Some of them make sense and some are unfounded. Sure, you don't know what the fuck you're doing when it comes to sitting across from a man, but just swing it. It's strange and foreign to you, but you're passionate, charming and intelligent enough to string unrelated words from the top of your head into cohesive and even meaningful moments of small talk. And you're kinda cute to look at, too. Besides, you've already done most of the work - anyone who responds to your ad is bound to be at least somewhat on the money.

All this dating advice might not amount to a goddamn thing if this guy is truly The One, I know, but you don't know that yet. So you've made a great decision to take it slow. I know you squirmed a bit when, between words, he checked you out (with that Scorpio intensity!) over tea yesterday, but that's the way it works honey. He likes your ass. Let him look at it and imagine the possibilities while you guys get to know each other. You haven't done any of this before and it's okay. Go with the flow and have fun with it.

Just keep it together, girl, and stay on top of your shit. Unclutter your space. Get a check-up and get your ass back to the gym. Dig those business-related documents out. Write some letters to your loved ones. Get some more of those early morning quiet moments when you have nothing to do but listen to the birds begin to sing as the sky brightens. *hug!*
