Yesterday I had a guest for the day.\u00c2\u00a0 His name was Romeo.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes. Romeo.\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Since it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s February, well darn, anytime of the year, it brings to mind romance. \u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Now this Romeo was not just any Romeo.\u00c2\u00a0 He was a Romeo in MY house.\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

So what are the qualities you would want in your \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Romeo?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

My romantic Romeo has to have a number of qualities that will make me want to invite him into my life.\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are but a few \u00e2\u20ac\u0153musts\u00e2\u20ac\u009d for me:<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Must be caring and genuine<\/span><\/p>\n

Must be honest<\/span><\/p>\n

Must know how to show his love in creative ways<\/span><\/p>\n

Must be a good conversationalist<\/span><\/p>\n

Must be looking for someone to enhance his life and appreciate my doing the same<\/span><\/p>\n

Must know how to serve others – not me, mind you, but others in the community<\/span><\/p>\n

Must be attractive to me…now don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t go crazy here, men.\u00c2\u00a0 I see attractiveness in most men I meet who have the other qualities…in other words…if a man has the other qualities, then there is a good chance the man is attractive to me.<\/span><\/p>\n

Must be responsible in personal and professional life<\/span><\/p>\n

Must be willing to be the only \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Romeo\u00e2\u20ac\u009d in my life<\/span><\/p>\n

Must know how to give as well as receive<\/span><\/p>\n

Must be willing to commit to a relationship<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Notice I did not say must be filthy rich; must be drop dead gorgeous; must be tall, dark and handsome; must have at least two cars (although I do have a thing about men with trucks); must have a home on the east coast AND west coast, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

So for all you wanna be Romeos out there – it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s really not as hard as you think….unless you are a no good, lazy bum!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

By the way, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Romeo\u00e2\u20ac\u009d was the man who put my new linoleum down in the kitchen yesterday.\u00c2\u00a0 He did a fantastic job, has children and grandchildren he was so proud of that he shared pictures of them with me, and was a genuinely great guy.\u00c2\u00a0 It was a pleasure doing business with him. \u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

My wish for you today<\/strong> is that you find that \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Romeo\u00e2\u20ac\u009d in your life that will enhance it and make it worth living even more.\u00c2\u00a0 There are both men and women looking out there and they shouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t settle for anything less.\u00c2\u00a0 Happy searching.\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
