And All Other Things

It’s that day.

The day that falls on the 14th day of the 2nd month every year.

I joke and say it’s Singles Awareness Day.

But it’s not that much different than any other day for me.

I have been aware of my singleness every day for 28 years… haha

Although I have also nicknamed it Bleak Sunday (or any day on which the day falls).

Anyway, one would think I would be extra depressed on such a day, especially surrounded by marrieds and engageds and daters and such.

I would be lying if I said my status did not suck.  But today I had a happy day. Hearing and reading about other couples’ happiness. Yep, it’s tough to be reminded of my singledom, but it’s cool seeing people happy.

For instance, my friend Dana. She and her boyfriend were unable to get together today because they both had to work. They will make it up on Tuesday. But her boyfriend sent her flowers and a card that read something like this:

[front of card] There is nothing sweet or sexy about this card [inside of card] except for the person reading it.

If that does not spell cute, what does?

And I know that I am constantly quoting and referring to this blog. And I am not a stalker, I promise. I just loved the entry found here.

I talked to Dana on the phone and read Bianca’s entry all within seconds. And their happiness just made my day.

Yep, it’s hard to be single happy in the face of everybody’s couple happy.

But I said hard, not impossible.

A cheerful look brings joy to the heart, and good news gives health to the bones.
