Comfortable by myself...

I am happy being alone.  I don't have to answer to anyone... I don't have to worry about constantly talking to or texting someone throughout the day and night.  I get to go to bed when I feel like it and not stay up to have a conversation with someone.  It's nice.  There are times when I wish I had someone to share some time with, but there are plenty more when I'm just happy to be me.  I have my rough patches but I always come through them and try my hardest to put a smile on my face, sometimes after I've whined and cried to my BFF.  It doesn't happen all too often, so I allow myself to feel that way once in a while.  I just don't want to become one of those women who is alone for the rest of my life.  For now, my children keep me busy and I enjoy spending time with them.  But one day, I will truly be alone and the children will leave the house and then what?  I would like to be with someone someday, I just don't think that time is now... guess I'll just allow myself to enjoy this time alone and if someone comes into my life, I won't push them away - or at least I hope I won't.  I am ready for the next step of my journey...whatever that may be.  Bring it on God... I'm ready.
