So… the second Valentine’s Day single… Yes, I know you should not start a paragraph with “so”! Your point?!
I really don’t feel any different (or “differently”?!?)… Being single, on Valentine’s that is … I just feel like another day is wide open in front of me, just like February 13 was last night at midnight, and it’s just my own job to fill it up with… whatever: work, shopping, chores, cat squeezes and food eating … Honest to God, I don’t feel alone, depressed, or in any other “depressing” way… as a lot of folks around me insinuate I “should” feel …
I guess it’s just because this year (just like the last) I’ve been fortunate enough to have other “hobbies” in my life, or because this year I am visiting retail stores much less than in other years (on financial purpose), but I have not been bitten by the pink-red-and-white-displays-in-every-store bug that usually visits me every year around this time! I’ve been fortunate enough to be untouched!
Oh, yeah, I am going to dinner tomorrow, but I did that last Wednesday, too! And I could have done it Sunday, too, but I had to cancel, since I was too busy! I guess trying to find another focus in your life, other than “I gotta get a mate”, helps you live this life on another dimension… I am not saying I have given up on love and now I am into friends, family, travels, and relocation… Love will be welcome, should it happen, one day! After 32 years though, I have learned: it’s when it’s expected and waited on that it’s determined to not show up… I have learned it’s something with a whim! So, should it ever happen, romance, candle lights, cuddly dinners under the covers, in front of fireplaces, lavish jewelry and tons of roses… all that … it will happen just as easily on September 8th as it will on February 14th…
So tomorrow, for me, it’ll be just another Wednesday! Half priced wine at Café Europa anyone?! (just kidding)
Have a happy one tomorrow, whatever it is that you’re celebrating! And for those who love: may you celebrate love ever day of the year and twice every Saturday or whatever day you can hire a sitter…
