My gift for today

Wow, I am blown away, I was doing some affirmations, and one I had written was "never accept less than you KNOW you deserve.
this thought brings me to the men I have had in my life, I have always settled for less. My ex-husband wanted some one to keep him according to his wishes, my feelings , thoughts were not necessary.I was there to make him happy, and God help me if I didn't. After 16 years I left him, and lived on my own for almost 30 years. Then there was Jim, this man I fell head over heels in love with, I thought I had found my soul mate, He was looking for some one to replace Jan his former lover whom he has never been able to give up. He never saw me as Robin, I was a huge failure as a replacement.
Recently I have met several men. None of them are interested in Robin, they are like people looking to find a good used car, and because they had luck or problems with previous cars, they pick and choose accordingly.
So again I am not looked as a brand new experience, rather as a replacement of some one they either lost or threw away.
I am so grateful I have had this experience, it has given me an experience I needed to learn.
I now know that I am a valuable human being, that I deserve and will get the love of my life who will choose Robin because she is exactly what he is looking for, and will make his life so much the greater. I will not be a fill in, replacement for or be someones second or third choice.
What a great experience I am so happy today
