I'm not going to get into a big thing on Valentine's Day or being single or bitterness or joy over it, what love is or is not, the commercialism or meaning in this day, etc. etc. etc. ... it is what it is. That is in my journal and not here. All that aside, what this means right now is that I'm single, and it is to my benefit to enjoy this season of life (for however long it lasts!) for all the blessings it can give me and to set the bad stuff that goes with it aside for now.
I found a beautiful statement on a website called: The Single Woman ... and I'm just going to repeat it here. For single women (and some might fit men also!) ... there ARE good things about being single!
Reasons I'm Not Sad I'm Single - (found here)
- I like the idea of sharing my life with someone…I’m just not sure I’m
ready to share my closet. (67 pairs of shoes and counting…)
- First kisses.
- Messy breakups.
- Because some days I just don’t feel like shaving my legs. (Shhhh…)
- Last week I had a hot fudge cake for dinner…and I didn’t feel guilty about not sharing.
- About 85% of the movies on my shelf are chick flicks. And I am unapologetic.
- Because I only watch the Superbowl for the halftime show.
- One day a friend called me up and said: “Let’s take a road trip to
the beach…tomorrow.” I said: “Okay.” And I didn’t ask anyone’s
permission.
- Some nights I like to sleep on the right side of the bed, others, the left side. And some nights…right smack dab in the middle.
- I don’t have to battle anyone for the remote control.
- Because I have the freedom to choose either my way OR the highway…and both are equally appealing.
- I spend as much time with God as I want. He’s never too busy and always on time.
Gratitude Moments for Today
1/ Today, I'm grateful to be single, for the reasons (and more) listed above.
2/ Today, I'm grateful for setting everything aside and enjoying the day as I wanted, with no guilt and no one making me feel guilty!
3/ Today, I'm grateful that I didn't have to get out of my PJs for anything!
4/ Today, I'm grateful for the wonderful thoughtful gifts that KA gave me that I opened today and the call that I got from RA ... I didn't spend the entire day completely alone!
5/ Today, I'm grateful for the small text exchange with KS ... if I end time on this planet without meeting him, it will be a definite regret.
