Happy National Singles Week!


"Peaceful solitude is much better than chaotic company."

 While there are Pro & Cons for living life as a single person, this week is dedicated to embracing the joys & perks of being single!  

 Here's what I have learned about being single....
  • Being single as given me more time to focus on myself & discover who "I" am.  The chance to reflect, reconnect, and rediscover what makes me happy.  Because I spend a lot of time by myself, I really do know "Me" and what makes me tick! 
  • Being single has brought me closer to my family & good friends.  Living alone does not mean you have to be lonely.  I am lucky to have such wonderful and supportive adult children that enjoy spending time together doing family activities.  I am grateful for the close friendships I have made over the years. Whether my seasoned friendships, newly developed, on-line, off-line, or those yet to be, I appreciate the flavor, color, and warmth each one brings into my life.   
  • Being single has helped me to step outside my comfort zone & explore places, ideas, & activities I may not have as part of a couple.  
  • Being single allows me to do things around the house in the nude--cook, clean, laundry, etc just because I can!  
  • Being single means my time and money is my own.  I can spend it however I want.  I love having the option to indulge in whatever suits me for the moment--arts, theater, voluntarism, hobbies, travel, and pastimes that I can spend as much or as little time doing; sleeping in, going out, staying in, or hanging out in my PJs all day...whatever I want to do. 
  • Being single means my home is just the way I want it to be.  I don't have to pick up after another person.  I don't mind my pets on the furniture or sleeping in the bed with me.  I have complete control over the remote.  It's perfectly fine to spend an evening curled up with my fur-babies watching classic movies or cartoons if I feel like it.  
  • Being single gives me the option to say, "it's been a nice evening but it's time for you to go now"  and "yes, I would like you to stay".  It's totally up to me.  
Bottom line, being fabulously single and happy is about being happy with yourself!  It's about being comfortable in your own skin.  It's about being happy, period!  Being single doesn't have to mean being afraid to love.  Trust me, my heart has experienced bumps, bruises, and been broken a few times in my life.  Being single as taught me not to live my life as a traumatized victim of failed relationships.  Perhaps the next person will treat my heart with kindness, love, & respect.  Staying open to love isn't about attracting a new relationship, it's about been open to living life! 

 So...singles, what is your attitude about being single?
