I have just spent my day off doing very little really. I woke up in the morning and had a list of things to do and to be fair I have ticked off a couple of things but really my day has been a bit of a waste.

What can we say about the last few years? Many would say that the memories will be harsh ones, filled with hardship, fears and uncertainty. However, for many singles on 121dates.com who met and found love and romance, it has been a year of growth and joy of a life enhancing relationship with a like-minded single dater.

As a senior dater who has battled with Covid twice and has long term Covid symptoms at the moment, I am conscious that the isolation of the pandemic has had on my social life.

Divorce means loss of companionship, which can leave you feeling lonely and vulnerable, so you need to take thing slow when you start dating again. Grieving your loss might take a long time and you may need time to adjust. It is okay to grieve but you must also start to heal from the ramifications of the relationship break-up. Remember, there’s no magical timeline and each individual will experience the heartache of divorce differently.

As a Christian I have a strong faith that the Lord is guiding me and protecting me. That includes in my relationships and my dating life. Being single I meet other Christian singles for social dates that are like minded and have similar hobbies and lifestyle to me.

As we traverse our lives we all have our own struggles to contend with, our choice to trust in a higher power and creator. I have a strong faith and believe that My God has set a path for me and He is my protector and provider.
