Putting a positive outlook on things is always good. Sometimes we can look at something good in a bad light and make it into a bad thing. Given the opportunity to make good out of our life, God can make even the worst into an asset for His kingdom. I'm all for letting God in to work in our lives, and like trying to put a positive spin on things. Please share your answer to this question, to improve your own outlook and that of others who read this thread.

What is something that YOU like about being single TODAY?

One from me:

Today I like that I don't have to think about anyone else's opinions regarding me possibly buying a motorcycle, I just have to make responsible choices.

That I can eat my lunch like a savage beast and there is no man sitting across from me wondering if I was raised by a pack of wolves. (I'm hungry and I am going to eat like it).

I can handle the money any way I want, I don't have to interact with a husband after I work all day, if I don't feel like doing something I don't have to.

I'm married but I know what you mean about eating. The first time I ate a mango in front of him he thought it was disgusting. I didn't cut it up all dainty like.

Can I name more than one?

1.) I can leave a hairball in the shower for several days and no one makes a comment (I could probably make a wig after a couple of weeks if I tried really hard!).

2.) My house's decor is absolutely perfect and lovely. It's clean and tidy. And it smells like "girl."

3.) I can get a kitten without having to ask permission. (My first kitten... I'm not a crazy cat lady.)

I quite enjoy being single. ;)

Cut? I don't ever cut mangoes. In my culture, we rip is apart with our teeth. Who has time to cut? I'm with you! Hooray for abandoning etiquette and tearing food apart!

Today! I slept as late as I wanted with no one to know or care. I heated up leftovers for lunch without anyone complaining. I am wasting time on my computer right now and it's all guilt-free. I plan to go to bed at whatever time I feel like with no one to say otherwise. :cool:

sometimes I eat leftovers straight out of the pot because I dont want to have to wash an extra dish.

I can be as involved in my ministries as I want and there is no one else pressing me for my time.

I work out my own finances. I dont need to consult with anyone.

I can take a spoon and shove it in a gallon of ice cream and no one can tell me anything about it.

The toilet seat in my house? NEVER UP! (this one is kind of a big deal. If you haven't fallen into a toilet before you just wouldnt understand.)

I can go use the bathroom or take a shower whenever I good and well please. Nobody else is in there. Ever.

Abster: When you get married, be sure your husband knows about the aerosol effect of flushing - basically that when you flush, a little mist of droplets spray out all over. He'll never leave it up when he flushes again.

The question pertained to this day only. However, I can repost this every weekday if you like.

If I don't get my chores done today, no one looks down their nose at me but me.

I can smile at Every cashier (because I'm friendly, not because I'm flirty) without anyone thinking I'm up to something.
(She cheated, so she wrongfully suspected me. It was so oppressive to have to suppress being friendly.)

Both sides of the bed are mine, and I can wake up with whatever percentage of the pillows and blankets and there not be strife.

It's not antisocial for me to have breakfast on the porch so long as the kids are on track for leaving for school on time.

I can listen to any radio station that I want. (news or contemporary Christian)

The lid on the toilet gets closed Every time it gets flushed. (High five to Lynx for also buying in to the same flavor of wisdom.)

What do I want for dinner? I don't know, but I'm going to have THAT, it will have Fresh Vegetables with it, and it's okay if I don't decide two weeks in advance.

I like that the toilet seat is always down and I don't have the surprise of falling into the bowl....

No one is going to ask me for "a bite" or "a sip" of anything I eat today.
I'm wearing ballet flats with an outfit that deserves heels but frumpy is MY option today and I am totally unapologetic.

I don't have to deal with anyone wearing heels (which is illogical) then complaining about her feet hurting (which is a natural result of doing something so illogical.)
