Preach Raven and I wonder why folks are so hung up on other people getting married…marriage is a lot of work and just like kids it ain’t for everyone and that’s okay! It’s a new day and a new time and women can take care of themselves. We no longer need to depend on men for support…of course if we have it it’s nice…but a whole bunch of women are taking care of men just so they can say they have one and that’s foul.

Thank you ladies for understanding where I am coming from. Stephanie, I am learning that it is okay to fly solo. I think that once I am complete within myself everything else will follow, and even if it doesn’t my life will be just fine. I had to laugh at an e-mail I sent to my aunt. I told her of the little bundle of joy that my sister and her husband were expecting. And she e-mailed me back stating that she wished that it was me. This same aunt use to make me feel bad because she always wanted to know when was it all going to happen for me. I have since come to the conclusion that that is her issue and hangups, not mine. I would love to have a family one day but if it doesn’t happen for me I can’t let that define my life. Joy comes from within and I can’t look for others to bring it about.

Stephanie, even if you don't find that man, you will be okay. That's a part of reclaiming yourself, being secure abd happy in whatever state you find yourself, single or with a partner. .-= Dera´s last blog ..Back to Memory Monday =-.

Very good post. I can relate all too well. It’s amazing how the have to(s) of life can drain us of the very essence of who were are. I’m on my on journey of reclaiming me.

For so many years I have not taken care of me and have been there for others, just as you have been. I am not waiting until the new year, I have already begun to reclaim myself and it feels great. I might not have the money to do the things I want to right now, like travel to romantic places, a tummy tuck, and other things, but I do have family and freinds. They realize that I am reclaiming me and are supportive. All I need now is the right man to share my life with and I will be ok.
Thanks for writing about the things I want to say but don’t!
