single and happy?

Someone asked me awhile back how I did it. How was it that I'm single and happy being single? I think I told them that it wasn't easy, because it's not. I do remember saying that you have to be able to be happy single, before you can be happy while you're with someone. That you can't expect someone else to make you happy.

I get lonely. But I'm lucky enough that spending time with friends is enough to keep me from getting too lonely. Would I like intimacy and companionship? You betcha. But it'll have to be the right person. I don't want to settle for just anyone just so that I'm not alone. I'd be sacrificing my happiness.

This post was supposed to be longer and a little more in depth, but I had the idea for this post about a week ago and am just now getting around to writing it. And I could have just scrapped the post altogether, but part of my Winter Wishlist was to blog more, so I'm doing that.

In other news, life is pretty sweet. I spent Wednesday dicking around and enjoying the beautiful weather we had here. I can't wait for Spring.
