At one point in her column,  someone wrote Dear Abby: I am 44 and would like to meet a man my age with no bad habits. Abby, responded Dear Rose: So would I. Isn’t that part of our problem?

We are looking for perfection in others and it doesn’t exist. Keep that in mind when you encounter a new friend or  join a new group.

Wishing you much love and much light.
