Next week is Valentine's Day which for some of us if we are single can be depressing on the other hand we do not have the dilemma will We buy the right bottle of perfume, wine or box of chocolates. Will we pick the right restaurant, movie or play.
Instead of concentrating on the lack of a partner at the time of year lets look at the positives of our lives as singles. Places we can go, things we can do without having to negotiate with a partner.
Some may have children or elderly parents which means you are restricted but even so these are family members that most times offer unconditional love and support even if at times it does not seem like it. A partner gives love but often conditional love, a relationship that has to be worked at rather than being born into. There are great rewards in both and pressures in both.
As singles we can also appreciate and enjoy seeing happy couples this Valentines and sympathising with those who are just acting it out and being thankful once again that being single is preferable in many cases to pretending.
Be positive lets think of happy past Valentine Days maybe as a child for a lot of women when your father made you feel special. I know several families where the father always sends valentine cards to his daughters even though they are grown just to make sure they are not forgotten.
Come on all lets have fun and not dwell on what we do not have but celebrate that what we do have.
okay Missy, we know WHO started the food fight.

Just an note for input conversation.
My son age 34 is separated from his wife age 30. Both have younger honeys. Jeff's "honey" is 20 with 2 kids from differnt dads who are NOT a part of the kids life..
He loves is wife kids(he told me last week) but really enjoys the fun with the young chick(my words). He says they do so many fun things including food fights.
