Enjoying the life you have

Recently, two of my nearest and dearest became engaged. I'm so overjoyed for them; they will never know my true happiness and excitement for them. Does that mean I'm sad about my situation (being single, and childless)? Absolutely not! I'm enjoying the life I have and all that's in it. Society may say that I need to have a family, but what about the family of 1? I still love me, care for me and am not willing to settle to "play catch up".

Some of you may not know, but my birthday is coming near. I enjoy planning my day and living it up to the fullest! This year's plans are already in the works. I will be alone--by choice. I love my friends but understand that with my day being so close the Christmas, it's hard to consider spending money for dinner or just to hang out when the kids need and want things. It's understood. So, this sista is doing it solo.

At the same time, I get to reflect on what I've done so far with the life I've been given: mistakes, upsets, triumphs, happy times, you get the picture. I'm better than I've ever been and will only remember mistakes as not to repeat them. I'm excited about the future and am walking in true and utter victory. The only person that could stop me is me--and I'm not (at least, not anymore).

Beautiful, Excited, and Anticipatory--that's me!
