It's Christmas time again and most of us are still single. Three Christmas's ago, I tagged along with a new boyfriend to see his family in Denver on Christmas day. Last Christmas, my mom and I fought through the snowstorm to see each other in the Springs. This year, I will enjoy a wonderful time of food and family with Jeopardy Champ, my mom and 45 degree weather. With a serious relationship at the one year mark, I am sure it is unfair to call myself "single." I enjoy set times with Champ and free-formed time with my girlfriends. A wise woman, I will never shuts the door on those close girlfriend bonds. I admit that I am in transition.
God has asked some pretty far out & risky things of me this year. And to many of them I have answered "yes."
Yes! to risking my own ideas in my career to experience success. Yes! to understanding myself and enjoying who I am. Yes! to setting boundaries with family, friends and others. And Yes! to the scary prospect that I might be in love. In all this, God leads me through the transition from single to not single (whatever that means). Merry Christmas to all the single women in and around my life. I never want to loose you, girlfriends or the love we share for the sanctuary of single life.
