A Table for One
Category : Blog

The holidays can sometimes bring on a sense of being more alone than any other time of year as a single person. In the words of an old Three Dog Night song “One is the loneliest number that you ever knew”. Yes I’m dating myself for some of you that never heard of that song, yet if you’re single you still may be able to relate to the heartfelt meaning of those words. So what is one to do? We certainly can spend time with friends and family to alleviate some of those lonely times. Dare I say that you can be a party of one and still be quite content? This could actually be when you get to enjoy your independence and pick and choose those things that bring you happiness. During the holiday season in particular there are many volunteer opportunities that get you out of yourself and give you a sense of fulfillment all at the same time. Getting out and about can bring enjoyment, but what about when you have to go home? Know that the decisions you make as a single person are yours and yours alone. These decisions feed not only into the things you do but the attitude that you choose to have. So when you do go home and you are alone are you able to be content in your own company? If not is there something deeper going on that needs your attention? That may be the question, to your own self be true by taking care of you.
