The Art of Being Single.....

As I said before I am reading an amazing book by Judy Ford.  This book has really opened my eyes to the single life I am embarking on.  There is one part of this book that really spoke to me, I wanted to include it here so you could understand how I feel.

"Living single, satisfied, fulfilled, and independent is an art.  It's not a birthright, an inheritance, or a windfall.  It's not luck.  It's something that's developed, studied, worked on, and perfected.  It requires inventiveness, imagination, determination, awareness, and skill.  Anyone with gumption and desire can do it.  Anyone who wants to celebrate and rejoice in all the magnificence that life offers can practice the art.  Life is overflowing within us and around us, in the clouds, the trees, and in the stars.  A satisfied single, like a poet, a musician, or a dancer, is committed to celebrating all of existence.  They see beauty in it all.  Such a single stands on her own, apart from the crowd.  She dances to the beat of her own drum."

That is how I'm feeling right now.  This is a lifestyle I need to embrace and want to embrace.  Something I swear I would never even say, let alone want.  I want that determination and imagination.  I want to find my gumption and desire and embrace it and invite it in.

After I started reading this I realized that the "Single" life is not for everyone.  And that's okay.  I've never really done the "Single" life so I don't know what to expect.  But I want to walk into that future and take whatever comes my way.  May it be good or bad, I want to walk to it.  Other than becoming a Mother, I have never wanted something so bad.  I've never committed to something with so much determination.  I'm hoping that by committing to making myself happy and grow to making myself satisfied that I will in turn better myself inside and out.

Taking one step at time to creating a better me.  I've been so unhappy with "me", the inside me and the outside me.  This is my chance to make "me" better.  This is my chance to work on "me".  This is my chance for rebirth, to be what I have always wanted to be, but was always held back in some way.

To be: Satisfied, Fulfilled, Independent and SINGLE!!!!
