Valentine's Day Reflections

Yes, today is Valentine's Day. I have read about a million articles and seen about a million items on TV about the millions of singles who hate Valentine's Day. Well, I'm single and I've been single for quite some time and I don't mind Valentine's Day at all. I like chocolate so I buy my own and remember that I can. I like flowers so I buy whatever flowers I like. I went shopping after work today and thoroughly enjoyed myself. Spent as much as I wanted and didn't have to 'clear' it with anyone. I came home and fixed myself din-din (ate whatever I wanted) and right now I am thanking my lucky stars that I'm single. I listen to many of the women I know that have a husband (or symbolism there-of), and, for the most part,with just one or two exceptions, most of them are not exactly jumpin up and down about the way their lives are going. I'm not exactly jumping up and down either (I worked today and shopped today, etc, and I'm tired!). But, on the other hand, I'm not spending any of my time crying. I am not sitting around wondering if my life could have been better if I chose differently. I can honestly say that I truly am enjoying life. I go where I want when I want with who I want. I spend what I want. I eat what I want. I watch what I want and I get the remote. I have a great house, a great car. I go on outstanding vacations. Most importantly, my son has provided me with outstanding grandchildren who are always a joy. My pets love me and I love them. They never say mean things that make me cry and later say they didn't mean it. Now, if truth be told, I would love to meet someone special. But, honestly, at this point, he would have to be pretty damn special. Richard Branson, perhaps. Now that is my idea of a sugar daddy! He could, literally, fly me to the moon! So on this Valentine's Day, I choose to sit home, and enjoy MY life. To reflect on all MY blessings. And to remember to be very careful of what I wish for.
