7 Reasons To Be Grateful
For Being Single!

by Renee Piane

As the holidays approach, we need to be grateful for all of our blessings. Since the tragic event on September 11th many people have gotten closer to friends and family like never before.

Some singles that have attended my events have stated that the bombing made them take a deeper look at some of the realities of life…like STILL BEING SINGLE.

According to the statistics more people are making commitments and getting married than ever before …and others on are on the hunt to meet their match. Many singles are experiencing deep depression and some are turning to anti- depressants….

Is this the answer?

In my seminars, I always advise that you need to be grateful and accentuate the positive attributes that you have so you can attract people that are on the same page.

So, during these holidays what gifts are you grateful for? Besides the freedom we have in our country to express our selves, here are 7 light-hearted reasons to be grateful for being Single.

1.You can spend your money on what ever you want.

2. You don't have to check in with anyone if your late or want to stop somewhere on your way home.

3. You can have a different date every night of the week if you're so inclined.

4. You can eat what ever you want without worrying about pleasing someone else's taste.

5. You can have casual sex if you so choose (not something I would advise).

6. You can sleep with the windows open if you like a breeze, or with a heating blanket if you're always cold.

7. You only have to deal with your own family and if you're lucky they aren't dysfunctional. So be grateful and spend time with friends and family that love you just the way you are. If you're a loner you may want to join some groups or volunteer to help in your community. Churches and synagogues will always welcome you. Explore the ones in your neighborhood.
