A Valentine Day reminder

Especially for those singletons who have been 'burned' before...

Remember 

you're gorgeous -

 even if you're not
being currently consumed 

by the heat of passion.

The fantasy is 

that life is better 

when you're on fire 

and, 

when you are, 

it seems the whole world is.

When you end a relationship though, 

it seems like the whole world is still on fire - 

and you're the only one 

out of sync.

What you can't see,

 unless you pay attention, 

is that no relationship 

is static...

all are in the process of running their course;

 some are barely hanging on.

It's amazing how, 

even knowing the odds,

as we enter into a new relationship, 

we tell ourselves that 

this time 

things will be different.

 This time,

ours will be

 the one 

that makes it...

And maybe that's true -
for a lucky few...

The reality, 

for most of us, 

is that we'll be back 

in the recycle bin 

before we know it!

Still glittery 

and 

still in good company!

Some hearts have wick left

and some, 

aren't even looking for 

our 'match'!

The reality is that nothing
stays the same.

That's either a comfort
or a curse.

Celebrate wherever you are today!
