WHO'S Searching For Me?

I can't stop smiling. Almost moved me to tears!
I laughed out loud. I get a few of those social sites
enlisting me to find old friends and to trace my
family ties, as well as to "find out who's looking for
you" sites.
BUT THIS ONE REALLY GOT MY ATTENTION:
"2 of your EX's are searching for you". Huh? Really?

Two of my ex-whats? Ex-friends? Ex-lovers?
Ex-creditors? Ex-neighbors? Ex-wives? Huh?
Ex-bookies? Did I default on a bet or two?

WHAT WOULD YOU THINK IF YOU GOT THAT
MESSAGE? Are you in the witness protection program?
Is "Cousin Guido" looking for you? Or John Walsh?
Have you been hiding using one of your aliases so
the IRS can't locate you? WHO'S LOOKING FOR YOU?
A jealous boyfriend? An angry husband or wife?

It came in my "spam" box, but I was so intrigued
by the heading that I had to open it. Of course it
was one of those "find-an-old-friend" websites, but
it caught my attention by the header!

So I started thinking, "Why would one or more of
my 'ex's' be looking for me, that is if I had two or
three such former partners?" Huh? One is happily
remarried. (Went first.) The other passed away, so I
doubt that she is looking for me. Besides, if she really did
need to find me, all she has to do is contact one of
her fellow "spirits" or "ghosts"! Huh? Or look down from
Heaven and see "what I'm up to"!?

AND, why would a union that has long been dissolved
still be an issue? Divorce payments? Child support?
Missing jewelry? Important papers? Alimony?
Revenge? To gloat? To "rub it in"? Guilt? To cause
guilt? (As if I didn't suffer with that enough.) Old
pictures? "Grandma"s precious keepsakes?

I suppose that in some cases an "ex" might want to
make amends, or renew friendships, or restore
communications (which I'd like), but it seems that
most ex's are content to leave well-enough alone.
Is it possible that 1 or more of your ex's are trying
to reach you? Scary? Maybe, maybe not. What if
he or she honestly wanted to regain or restore
the friendship? Could happen.

Well, there you have it - the prospect of your (my?)
past haunting you!? Watch your email box for the
announcement. Don't panic, it may just be an ad
for someone trying to get your money (an "ex'?), or
an attempt to "put the fear of an "ex" into you".

Thank God for forgiveness. Now if we could just
get "forgetness" as easily. Who's "searching for you"
besides God?
