it’s a match!!

i’ve recently been getting

‘match alerts’

with increasing frequency.

in response to my online quests.

there’s a parallel

between three very different things

i’m engaged in simultaneously:

finding a new car for my parking space

finding a new companion for olive the cat

finding a new companion for me.

interesting that the process is somewhat the same:

select the features i am most interested in

state what i am looking for

describe myself, my cat, my driving style

reach out to some that seem interesting

 seem to be a potential good fit

watch to see what matches come back.

in all three areas i’m looking for:

a bit of life experience,

maybe a few rough spots, but made it through,

with somewhat low miles,

a few dings here and there,

but not in need of imminent major repairs.

easy going, intuitive, playful, bright, makes life better

some things the same, some different

to keep it interesting.

hopefully by the end of all this

i’ll be sitting on the couch with someone

the cats sitting in the window

the car parked

sitting at a bit of an angle in my straight-lined parking spot.

i’m open to the possibilities.
