The rambling of a deliberately happy single woman.

A journey through madness was already taken, so I figured this title says what I am training myself to be. I am working on becoming more then I am and less then what I used to be.

What is love?

I know what a trite and cliche question. However what is love? Can someone fall in love with you the minute they see your face? Can someone pledge their devotion to you after only one conversation? How can someone be in love when not even a day has pasted before they say I love you or will you marry me. } I have been trying those online dating services and I have discovered that people's ideas about love are so twisted. Now on one hand here in America I am not seen as a great catch. I am everyone's best girl friend and I am the one that everyone talks to, I am short and cute and have a great personality(I know the words of death) but I truly believe it. Guys love to hang around me but date me oh no forget it. I am not 5"11 (4'11) I am not blonde (dark brown hair) I am not skinny (curvaceous or voluptuous), and I definitely am not white (ebony diva). Now here is the thing in Africa I could have 6 men falling at my feet pledging their undying love and devotion in under and hour but in America I am lucky if they hold the door open for me. } I guess to me it's just odd that so many of us say that we don't look for looks and that beauty fades. However, when we first take a look we know right away if it's love? I figure discovering love for me will happen slowly and it will probably be someone that I have actually gotten to know( over at least several months time). I know that others believe it is true and possible but I think that we have to rely on more then just a glimpse after all if you get to know me you will realize that my beauty runs deep and it will not fade.

I love to smile because it makes people wonder what I am up to!

So my thoughts on how I can become deliberately happy and single today:
I am complete and special as I am. I am lovable and deserving, of a lifetime of love from a special man. In God's time his face will be revealed, but until then God's love will be my fill.

Sunday Sunday

YEAH!!!!!!! I have finally found inspiration for my friend's poem. It is so hard to write something for a friend because I want it to be perfect. I want it to express what I hear in her voice when she talks about her fiance. The love that she feels can be felt and touched even though I am only talking to her on the phone. I hope some day I will find someone that makes my voice glow like that. Love is truly a beautiful thing.

Ok, next topic number 9 on my things to do list learn how to play an instrument. I don't know what instrument yet but I want to learn one. I use to sing and now I don't anymore so who knows maybe the instrument will be my voice. Well that's a short but sweet one today.
