Valentine's Day is fast approaching! Of course, we had to let you know that we are OPEN AND DELIVERING, on Sunday February 14th.....but, business aside, I wanted to let you in on an interesting bit of cynicism that I had the pleasure of overhearing!
Someone recently commented that Valentine's Day is "National Singles Awareness Day".
Of course, it is a bit funny, but not if you're the one feeling lonely that there is no one to adore you and shower you with affection on THE DAY.
Take a moment to remember all the wonderful things about being single....I'll help by telling you some of my favorites!
1) You get the bed, the whole bed, and all it's wonderful covers, all to yourself! No one tossing, turning, blanket-hogging, snoring etc.
2) You are the boss!!! You make all the decisions! Of course, this can have a few drawbacks, but for the most part, it is really wonderful to make pancakes for dinner if that's what you feel like.
3) You make your own schedule! See friends when you want, work all you want, play when and where you please, go to bed when you want, ... (you get the picture)
4)You have to clean the bathroom less often! If you're a woman reading this I would think the reasons are kind of obvious (I don't want to go there!), and for the guys, there is less stuff on the counter, less hair on the floor, less styling products, creams and lotions cluttering the space etc.

Well, I could go on and on about the merits of being single, but shared a few of the more humourous ones. I don't believe on dwelling on anything....so dwelling on the fact that you are single on Valentine's Day is not worth your time!
You can after all, buy yourself flowers! Or reach out, take a chance and surprise someone else with a beautiful bloom or two.....and if that's too much.....make sure you remember while surfing the channels on the big day, that having the remote all to yourself is wonderful!
