Yes, it IS better to have loved
and lost than to never have loved at all.

Boy, if I didn't believe this I would never go on
another date. I might not even want to get up in the morning.
There are times when I look back on my love life and
it seems like a bad movie, just getting knocked down over
and over again.
But I KNOW, with a faith that soemtimes seems irrational,
that relationships can work (I've seen some great ones),
and the rewards seem so great that they are worth 
almost any price.

Before someone thinks I am living on the raw edge of suicide,
let me assure everyone I am not. You know the saying, 
"Most men lead lives of quiet desperation."
Not me. I enjoy being alive and being with people,
and I fully expect that anything which is now bad or
unhappy or unfulfilling in my life is going to get better.
As I said, what other attitude really makes any sense?

Incidentally, this attitude has stood me in good
stead for many years.

Still laughing,
