the Turn over of a flock

Just like that, with the snap of the fingers or a week away on a trip, everything can change. Its part of the turn over in life, something like natural selection in biology?  Viviana believes that what is meant to be with stick and the rest will bounce or fizzle or just be forgotten.   One week Viviana has a flock of 6, smiling ear to ear, she talks with her friends about her fun dates and messages.  She enjoyed all of them, but perhaps as the flock turns over, the last man standing is the one that matters? She describes her six-pack-clad wealthy cutie and their quiet evenings making healthy dinners overlooking the water, and her elegantly planned dates with Silver Fox, the smart doctor she thought she didn't like, or her outdoorsy creative date guy who brought the dog a bone, web design guy with his dimples, oh and how could she forget the adorably gorgeous young man from Europe, or the clever, romantic irishman from the hills, or her south african sweetie she just met.  The reality is that Viviana saw no shortage of new friends and flock members, and even if they do not stick, they serve a purpose and they have a role.  Let them all be, and let them all remind us that someday someone will matter and someone will stick.  That day will be the end of the flocks!  until then.....
