Being single

[Grandma Helen]

How have you made being single an adventure?

[Eaglewoman]

Don't know if it is an adventure but it is a way of life and it really suits me.

I don't know yet.

[Robert Burke]

I haven't made it an adventure.  It just has been.

I had imagined a life with a woman, and when that life ended I felt like I woke up after a long fall into a dark cave.  At first I just checked to see if I was whole after hitting the ground that hard.  Then I walked to the cave entrance, and looked out at a world I had never seen and had never imagined.  With no map, no compass, no plan.  So it was up to me to decide whether to just sit, or to walk left, or to walk right.  With only the unknown before me, and the unknowable behind me.  Every day since then has been an adventure.

Here's a clip from a cartoon show called "Adventure Time."  I don't know anything about the show because I don't have a TV.  But I came across this clip and like it.  The young woman giving voice to "Marceline" in this beautiful song (Olivia Olson) was, some years back, the girl who sang "All I Want for Christmas is You" during the Christmas pageant in the movie "Love Actually."

I have been single  for quite a while now. It is a way of life for me and I like it. Its got some perks that are kind of nice.

If you want to cook or not its your choice, Same with waking up, Choosing a show or  a tv program. I am pretty happy being single.  I have two roomies and my cat Miss Dixie.. We all get along very well. I am still carrying a torch for my  ex fiancé, That  is something I haven't really been able to deal with yet.  I am working on it. The more I think about it the thought of marrying again is not a part of my plans at the moment. I like dating very much.I do love the company of the opposite sex, I really enjoy the conversations and all the rest of it. I am kind of dong one day at a time. It suits me for now.
