The Single Life

I think I am getting used to being alone. Finally, after all these years! This is a surprise to me, because I know that since I left my first husband, I have been pursuing relationships. Now, I can honestly say that the only relationship I am pursuing is with myself.

There are advantages to being alone:

• I can sleep spread out across the entire bed.
  
• I can snore when I sleep and not be concerned if I wake anyone up.
  
• I can sleep and not constantly be woken up by someone running into me, hitting me with their arms, snoring in my face, etc.
  
• I can eat what I want, when I want
  
• I can watch what I want without someone changing the channel on me
  

Oh, and there is so much more. I recently started an exercise and weight control program(I will not say diet, because this is a program I hope to sustain as a daily ritual, not just a fad). Doing such, I will not have to hear:

• Oh, I see you got more exercise equipment. Let's see how long that lasts.
  
• You're planning on cutting back on calories? Do I have to do this, too?
  
• No, I'm not going to work out with you! I don't have time!
  

There is a study that states that single women are more in shape than married woman. I can understand that, having to hear the above every time I tried to change me life.

I am changing my life now – for me. I don't have to impress anyone else, or include anyone else. I have a feeling I'm going to do pretty well – all by myself!
