Single Satisfaction

In this journey I am finding pride in my choices, peace with where I am today and simple happiness. I was talking with my friend about being single. This is what I told her I realized.

I am happy and I happen to be single. When I was dating, I was never this happy. I wasn't even this happy single before and I know I wasn't choosing relationships that were going to bring me happiness.

I am happy and I happen to be single. The relationships I choose today are relationships that enrich my life, add joy to it. I enjoy being happy and if I happen to be single, fine. I know when the time comes that I'm not single, that relationship will be one of respect, joy, adventure and more happiness than I can imagine.

I am happy and yes, I happen to be single.

  1. I just read about YOU in The Truth! I am so proud of you! You have done amazing in your weight loss - I'm cheering you on to the next 55 and I'm sure you will do it! I am struggling with a goal of 30 lbs to lose - you are an inspiration to me! It is a lifestyle - isn't it. Thanks! Sharon Heatwole

  2. I just read about YOU in The Truth too! I love your story, your guts, your strength. I work in the "world of wellness" (actually I'm a Health Insurance broker) and I love people like you - changes can be made, it can be done! Determination is one thing, but reading that you are happy doing this is way, way more important. You will reach your goal, you will remember what it took to get there, and you will live the life you want! You have made a difficult choice, but you are doing it the right way - you have made a "lifestyle change" - stick with it forever! I race triathlons (Ironman Louisville was my last race), If you ever need a little motivation, call me - I'll cheer for you everyday! Tom Housand (Elkhart)

  4. I just read the article in the Elkhart Truth. You are definitely an encouragement and inspiration. This particular blog expresses the message that I wish a couple of my single friends would take on. Thank you for your blog. It's definitely helping other people as well. Keep up the great work!
