Vacancy

Dear Friends,

In the August issue of UK's Psychologies Magazine, under “Your lifebulb moment” it read; your body knows what’s best for it! Listen to it!

I don't think my mind has the same expertise! Its wandering is signalling, danger, danger! It seems that my light writing load has created a few openings in my head that can’t wait to be filled with rubbish, again.

The other night, at the club, looking at couples of all ages taking advantage of every slow beat to hang from each other, I wondered whether I was really happy being single.

Although my dance club has the reputation of being a “pick up joint” it has now become a couple/group joint! My girlfriend and I were the only female twosome, at the table and on the dance floor. Thus, the topic of singlehood occupied my mind for a day or two. And then I realized, it was just vacancy talk!  

“Stop melodramatizing, Lili! None of the men in your past danced, except during courtship when everyone acts out of character. All your life you’ve danced with your girlfriends. “ I reminded myself. “Write more often and you shall forget about this nonsense!” I counseled myself further. After all, it’s my blog! I can post my words as frequently as I want to! I have to stop imposing so many restrictions on my activities; write only once a week, have red meat only twice a week, swim three times a week, go to the hairdresser on Fridays, drink wine only on Saturdays! I'm missing the point of being an unattached adult!  

“Trust me, Lili, you like being single!” I said aloud, accepted and filed! 

What have you accepted and filed today?
