With Valentines Day so near … It make me wonder why we even have a day to celebrate couples. Was it so the single persons would be socially pressured to take steps to be a part of a couple? To have a relationship with someone committed enough to “be our Valentine”
I can tell you that I am grateful that this year … ‘Single Awareness Day’ falls on a Sunday. And my Sundays are normally spent at Church, and then Family dinner followed by Family game time. So I’m saved the awkwardness of not having a Valentine. Although I am sure my mother will say something about my single status… But who am I kidding, that is also a normal Sunday event. LOL
I have a lot to be grateful for while in my Single Status
1. I don’t have kids to worry about
2. I have no real debt of my own (except my car loan) and I don’t have to worry about debt that came via Marriage.
3. I can go and do almost anything without having to worry about being put in the “dog house”
99% of the time I am a positive person about my life. Positive about all that I have done and accomplished though hard work and the Lord help. I lose myself in service, Work and of course play. BUT sometimes at night when everything starts to settle down and there is nothing to lose myself in… I lose focus of the big picture… I start to focus on the missing elements in my life. .. ‘The long waited, yet ever missing in action… Husband.’ I sit reading or writing, in my Queen Size bed and look over at the empty space next to me… And I can’t help but wonder if I will ever find the man who will occupy that space in my life.
Now, I don’t watch a lot of TV. I hate being tied down to a date and time to watch my favorite shows. Thankfully this is the 21st Century and thanks to websites like Cast TV, Hulu, Mega Video, and You tube I can watch all my favorite shows at 2am (which is when my schedule permits). But in some of my most Favorite shows (Ghost Whisperer and Medium) some of my favorite scenes night time at the end of the day for the Characters. This is when the husband and wife share about their day with the other. They help each other with trails they are going though and appreciate each other. And maybe that is a fantasy but I hope not. I hope this is the way it is for me.
So… while the history of Valentine's Day is sometimes debated, and it is clearly linked back to a St. Valentine a Catholic saint. Even though there are three different St Valentine’s (one a priest, one a bishop, and little is known about the third.) All were martyrs. So I guess It is clear that I dodged the Bullet this year…LOL maybe next year!
