There are finer fish in the sea than have ever been caught.
-Irish Proverb
I’ve got a friend who is single but wishes to be married. Gorgeous, beautiful woman. At times she fears something is lacking in her because she has no mate. She yearns for the guy, not realizing the above parable applies to her. Friend, you are the finer fish. You have not been caught.
Dear Michelle,
What a lovely gift to give to your friend. The belief in her as being extraordinary. May her life reflect her own belief in herself.
Peace.
So true! I loved reading Elizabeth Gilbert’s “Committed” and reading about her discovery (or realization) that what so many women in the Western world have bought in to is the notion that finding a man to marry us will “complete” us. I know I did. And then for a time I resented Bubba for not being all the rest of the puzzle pieces. You are a good friend.
Loooove those words. Amen!

Oh, my gosh. I love this parable/quote. Thank you for posting it. I am going off to tell one of my dear single friends.
