Yes! It's True

Yes!!! I am truly ok with being single. I am the mother of a teenager and have not had a relationship with anyone since her father and this was definitely a choice rather than circumstance.

Why are we made to feel that we have to have someone in our lives in order to be happy??? However, I was made to think this through quite carefully when a friend said to me 'would you still feel this way if you didn't have your daughter and your study as a focus?' She was right!!! In a way!

I look at it like this: I have shown that I can cope with a lot of stuff by myself and yes, my daughter and my study are certainly things that keep my mind busy but let's be honest! Can anyone look after me better than I can look after myself? Probably not! I am very good at taking care of myself by knowing how to relax, not being afraid of having a nana nap in the avo if I am tired, taking time out by just reading a good book, working out hard at the gym and best of all, getting in the kitchen! Food is my passion.

I really enjoy a good bottle of wine and partake at least once a week - BY MYSELF! Those of you who are thinking that I may have an issue can forget it! It's ok to drink alone once in a while.

The secret? Being happy with myself and with my own company. Quite simple really!

That's not to say that I don't think about meeting someone really nice. Of course I do. I just don't choose to right now. It may be that I don't choose to until my daughter is off on her own...who knows.

All I know is that I am a happy single person.
