I work alone, I live alone. I'm on my own a lot. I have wonderful friends and amazing connections with beloved kindred spirits pretty much on a daily basis, but the truth remains that most of the time I'm alone. I'm oblivious to this reality for the most part. It feels normal. It's okay. I feel very blessed to have a contentment around being single. But there are still times when I find myself longing for the companionship of a boyfriend/partner/husband and that's happened a bit more often recently.
It hit me yesterday that part of what I've been longing for lately is an excuse to take a break from the crazy pace of my work life. Now a date with a great guy would be a fantastic way to take a night off, but clearly, waiting for Mr. Great Guy to show up to force a change is a ridiculous approach to bringing sanity to my work life. So, tonight, I shut down my email and PhotoShop and iViewMediaPro and set aside to-do lists and business strategizing and follow-up files. I fixed myself homemade pizza, poured myself an English Bay Pale Ale and watched a movie on my laptop. Overall, it was a pretty good date. I think I'll see me again.

thanks soooo much for your incredible comment!! it really lifted my spirit. its so nice to know there are people out there who understand the trials of life you go through. thanks for your wise words.
as for this post, i know it only too well. the constant battle between wanting that 'someone special' yet feeling completely secure and content within your own company. thats why you've gotta make the most of life's little moments [as you described]...sounds fantastic to me! take care. :)
