It Might Be You

The year was 1982. I was working in Manhattan, commuting over an hour into the city, and putting in very long days. I worked most days from 9 in the morning until ten o'clock PM and then took a car back to Verona, New Jersey.



My job was insane, I was working as a computer analyst in the MIS department of one of the top Investment Banking firms. People were so crazy there...they lived to work!



My divorce had been final in 1978, and I was dating again, but I had all of these rules. The biggest rule I had was "under no circumstance would "Mr. Right" be younger than me." My Ex had been a womanizer, and well, I thought perhaps if I married someone older it would be safer.



I saw the movie Tootsie in a theater in the city with my best friend Lisa. As I watched that wonderful scene when the characters fall in love, sigh, I thought I never would. Especially if I continued to work like a maniac. The music that played during that scene is playing now.



In 1983 I moved to Princeton, New Jersey, quit my Manhattan rat race job, and took a local job. One where I could be five minutes away from work. Where people had lives beyond the doors of their job.



I moved next-door to this very young guy. Ten years younger to be exact, and well, we ended up getting married. So much for rules! He was the exact age my first husband had been when I walked down the aisle in 1972.



I love that we are serenaded by music and that songs are sewn into the fabric of our lives.



We can hear just a few notes and be brought back into some lovely chapter.



Reflection is my joy, and I am playing this song for you today.



Hoping that it might trigger a lovely memory for you too.



This song reminds me that when you think there is no hope, there always is...Ned and I were married in New Hope, Pennsylvania in 1987.



This song...It Might Be You!
