Family Holidays Don't Need to Make you Lonely
The holidays can be kind of sad at times when you are single. I find myself feeling a bit left out when I am going to family gatherings and I don't have children or a family of my own. Being single is ok. There are advantages such as being able to come and go as I please and not having anyone to get ready but myself. When I Christmas shop I can get in and out of the mall pretty quick, or sit back with a great latte and watch everyone else still hustling along.
I seldom feel lonely because I am busy or just enjoying myself as I am. I don't think about what I don't have. I think about what I do have. If you get feeling the blues over family holidays, like Christmas, think about what you do have rather than what you think you wish you had.
It also helps to talk to the women who do have kids. Catch them at a moment when they are feeling overwhelmed and then be glad you are single! The grass really is always greener on the other side of the fence. Appreciate the grass you have!
