This is the season that I love but also puts me in a very reflective mode. For example: I examine my life currently compared to last year (work, relationships, joy, mistakes, successes, etc...), the possible outlook on the year to come, and what do I still want to cross off and add to my bucket list. But I will say that one of the main things that starts to hit me a little during this season is my very season of singleness. Before you think to much about that previous statement, keep reading. I love my life at this moment, I love the freedom I have, but at the same time I do wish to start sharing life. Sharing all the crazy things I do, experience, and see. There are times when I analyze the lives of my married friends and thank God for being single, but there are also times when I wish I was sharing this moment with someone other than me. So in this season of thanks I want to be thankful for the blessing of singleness, but when I see the bombardment of relationships around me it makes me wonder when my turn will come. It's as though the fact of being single is thrown in my face and beat in with a mallet. Gus says boys are stupid until they are 26. I think he's right. Daddy says I'm not dating or getting married until I'm 30. I think he's right too. Momma says one day I'll look at this season and wish it would return. I think she's right more than anyone.
