     Name three things you love(d) about being single: 1, I love that all the money that comes in to my household is mine. If I want to go out and spend all day shopping, I don't have to consult with anyone or think in the back of my mind, agh, he'll be pissed if I come home with another pair of boots! 2, I like not having to take someone else's feelings into account. I get home exhausted, and all I have to do is pet my dog, not listen to someone else talking or make dinner or something. 3, No one's going to get offended by me going out and flirting with guys at work all night, at the bar.

    Name three things you wont give up when/while you are in a relationship: 1, My family. When I married XH I basically thumbed my nose at my parents and siblings, I'll never give them up again. Not to say they'd come before my spouse, but I'd never want someone to make me choose again. 2, My world traveling plans. 3, My dog. Pets in general. I like helping animals and if someone thinks that's a waste of time or money, I'm better off without them.

    What do you do to make yourself a better person each day? I keep a journal, it helps me see how far I've come. And to recognize when I'm expecting too much of myself.
