Better Than Nothin' Tuesday, is the day we focus on making micro changes or taking tiny actions in the direction of our life goals like losing weight, getting a new job or finding a new love. How timely as this week is National Unmarried and Single Americans Week, for reals, straight from the US Census Bureau.
It's nice to know that we singles get a week of appreciation and celebration, but I missed the Hallmark card. Anyone get one? Feel free to send me flowers, candy, and poems of undying love. Better yet, a man would do the trick faster, but I won't look a gift horse in the mouth and gladly take a box of rice crispy dark chocolates.
But enough about me, back to you my fellow singletons especially those on the dating sites who are tired of having yet another cup of coffee. Keep your chin up and in the meantime, here are some simple ways to celebrate being free with glee:
- Now is all about you. Enjoy these "You" days because once the spouse, mortgage and kids show up, you'll be missing some "You" days. Bask in your freedom and feel grateful for this time you have today.
- Perspective: Being single and alone is way better than being in a relationship and alone. Seriously! Having someone is better than not having anyone at all, only true in your perceptions not in reality.
- If you're single or unmarried, and don't have children, instead of feeling child-less (lack,) start feeling child-free (gain). Not everyone wants to have kids and culture has a tendency to make that a negative, but who says?
