I had to accept that it was not in MY time, but in the time it took. In the beginning of my own recovery, I also seemed to keep drawing in unavailable people, even from within Al-Anon. I realize now it's because I wasn't done doing my own work.
I know the life of a teacher is extremely busy (my sister is one) - but do you volunteer for anything outside of work?
Thanks for the compliment and reminder that I will always have my own work to do, even if Mr. Wonderful meets me in the future. I'd just like to keep working on myself with someone else in the picture, too. One day when I least expect it...
As for volunteering, most of my work outside of the classroom is still school related, helping with and attending events, sports, etc. Another reminder to start branching out from my field. It's definitely a comfort zone.
