Hope and Silver Romance.
Do you think there a tendency for us to think in today’s society that romance and dating is only confined to individuals in their twenties and thirties? Is it impossible and improbable for those who are in their fifties, sixties, seventies and eighties to ever find true love again? Is it really true that those who have reached mid-life are now resigned to living their latter years alone and in isolation? My aim in today’s blog is to shatter those illusions and false beliefs, which is exactly what they are!
Finding love and romance in the silver years by which I mean, fifties, sixties, seventies, eighties, or even nineties, can be just as beautiful, exciting and exhilarating as in our teen years. Why do we see very few novels or hear very few ballads around romance in the silver years? Silver Romance can be filled with hope, dreams, laughter, joy and plans for the future. What a beautiful scene it is to see an elderly couple walk down the aisle together. Stories which fill me with inspiration are those of young teenage couple separated during the Second World War, who pursue different paths in life and then miraculously find each other again and marry in their late seventies. What an amazing intertwining of destiny and a happy ever after don’t you think? There is hope……
You may be somebody who has been widowed or who is in the process of healing from a divorce or marital separation. You may feel comfortable being single during this season of your life “but”….is there a small part inside of you, which wants to connect, romance and have an intimate relationship again relate with a romantic significant other? Do you dream of visiting new places or making new trips, or holding hands with your new man friend or lady friend? It is not too late to find true love again in your silver years if you are willing to take the first step…. What do I mean by the first step? The first step is picking up the phone to call the person you are interested in? The first step is texting or what-sapping that individual you are keen on? The first step is creating your profile on the dating site. The first step is believing that you can experience love at first sight in your silver years. The first step is challenging and breaking down your internal belief system that you are too old to find love or that significant other prefers someone who is younger.
You are valuable, special, unique, desirable, attractive and filled with wisdom. Make your silver years, the best years of your life. Don’t give up. True love awaits you…
