the gift of singleness

I realize, there are times in life when being single just plain sucks. There are days where you feel like you wake up alone, you come home to an empty house, you eat dinner alone, you get invitations to weddings for you "and guest", but you have no "guest" to take. If we dwell in these times, we will live a life of complete loneliness. We must take time to think of the many benefits singleness carries.

If you want to eat pizza at 9:00 am, you can cook one.
If you want to make a large purchase, you do not have to ask anyone's permission.
If you want to sleep until 10:00, you don't have to worry about being awakened by an early riser.
If you want to buy 3 pairs of shoes & 2 purses in one day, no one is going to balk about it.
If you want to watch a sappy romantic movie, you can, you can even have a marathon if you desire! [or for the guys, some bloody, fighting movie]
If you decide you want to stay in your pajamas all day, you don't have to worry about someone telling you how bad you stink because you have not showered.
If you want to take a last minute trip to the beach w/your friends, you can do it!
You can keep the toilet seat in whatever position you want!
If you want a dog, or a cat, or a turtle, you can have one.
The remote is yours, all yours!
Never once will you have to hear "when's dinner gonna be ready?"

Please add things that you enjoy about your singleness!

Our lives do not begin when we are married, our lives are happening right now, every single day. Embrace the gift of singleness, enjoy the opportunities you currently have, love your life.

happy dating! `A
