Singularity

I have said on previous Valentine's Days that I could write a book about being single. That becomes more and more true with every passing year, but this is a blog, not a publishing house, so I will give just a few thoughts on my singularity as Valentine's Day approaches.

I guard my heart. I am limitting my chocolate consummation right now, and the best way to do that is to simply not buy chocolate when I'm at the grocery store. Then, when I am home, the temptation is easier avoided. In the same way, I don't watch chick-flicks and I don't read romance novels because those things stir my desire for romance and love, and even sex.

I guard his heart. Modesty. That one word is probably all I need to say. Modesty honors beauty. And I don't flirt. Playing games is not what I'm after. I'd rather a guy notice me for me than because I flipped my hair and teased him.

Am I called to be single? Today I am. Since today, I am single. I choose to see my singularity as a blessing.
