Tough Weeks

I find myself struggling with singleness this week. Most of the time I can accept this chapter of my life, but not this week!

There are many contributing factors to the week but even knowing that doesn't seem to help. The two people that call me, with any consistency, have both stopped. My daughter's phone broke and so she hasn't been able to make the every day or every other day phone call. You wouldn't think that would make much difference but I miss hearing about what my 4 year old grandson is doing. I miss hearing her voice and I miss the cheerleading that she tends to do for me.

My other phone caller is a guy that I have seen off and on for over 3 years. Knowing that this is a good thing and turning loose are totally different things.He called pretty much every night and it was something to look forward to.

I really think that is the big problem right now. I just need something to look forward to. Life all in all is going pretty smoothly. Blane had an awesome Pirate Party for his 4th birthday. Macy is having her first birthday party this weekend. I made a trip to Wylie (north of Dallas) to see Coyne and Sara's new home. So over all LIFE is GOOD!

So why has it been so hard to come home to the empty house? Why is the cat not enough company? I think I will try counting my blessings and see if my outlook improves.

It is hard to pin point exactly when it is hardest and when it is easiest. It seems that I can be in almost the exact situation and have completely different feelings about my singleness. The easiest way though for me to be OK with my singleness is when someone tries to tell me I should date or marry someone!

Singleness is the hardest when you are married but in essence ignored.
