Singles Awareness Day

Well folks, as you all well know, today is Valentine's Day. A happy, special day for those that have significant others, and a sad, lonely day for us single people. Many people affectionately refer to this blessed day as "Singles Awareness Day" because yes, single people are made more aware that they are alone on February fourteenth. Well, I am here to remind all you individuals that you don't need a significant other to be loved and appreciated. If you have some good friends and a family that accepts you for you, then feel blessed! Don't hide away and sulk on this day. Instead, go and flaunt your singleness! Consider it your freedom from having to buy a Valentine's Day gift or having to write a mushy love note just because every one else is doing it. Have fun with your other single friends today because, gasp! You are not the only one :) Know that although you may not have someone to hold hands with and kiss at the moment, you may have someone in the future. I challenge you to pray for your future Valentine today - that their heart would be prepared for you. Here are some good quotes about being single and waiting that I thought you may like:

"When you're single, your pockets will jingle." -Anonymous

"Sometimes you have to stand alone to prove you can still stand." -Anonymous

"The single relationship that is truly central and crucial in a life is the relationship to the self. Of all the people you will know in a lifetime, you are the only one you will never lose."- Jo Courdert

"Plant your own garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers."  -Veronica A. Shoffstall


Have a great day and keep your chin up! <3

You've Got a Friend in Me

You call us friends
But do you know what that entails?
It means that until the very end,
Through thick and thin,
And through laughter and tears,
Our bond will win

Love is patient, love is kind
I will strive to live that out
If you are a friend of mine
Be you a new pal or old buddy
I will stick with you through any season
Be the forecast rainy or sunny

For you make up who I am
You are the colors in my sunset
You are the flowers on my patch of land
I count you each a blessing in my short time here on earth
I am grateful for the chance to know you
And hope you realize your worth

You friend, mean more to me than silver or gold
Because unlike material possessions,
You will never rust or mold
Although life may get busy and we may grow apart,
I will always consider you one of the few
That will forever be in my heart
