People seem to worry that I'm not happy without a husband. Where, may I ask, did this mistaken notion come from that people aren't allowed to be happy if they're not married? I understand that there are joys that come from a family, children, husband, and I since I have none of those, I don't know what I'm missing.
But does that preclude me from being happy while being single? I think not. I'm actually very happy with how my life is going right now. I have a good job, wonderful friends, roommates, and *friends* ( you know who you are), and goals that I'm actively working to accomplish.
One of those goals is nearing completion, or at least part of it. It is really important to me that I finish this book and get it published. Other things can wait—at least for the moment.
I'm sure my time for marital felicity will come, but why worry when there is nothing I can do to control it at the moment? I'm not worried, and I'm really happy with how life is treating me right now.
So to all of those who worry that I'll end up a bitter, lonely spinster—stop it. I'm not worrying, so why should you?
(This is said with appreciation that you love me enough to worry. But, really, I'm fine.)

I'd love to hear what you think. Please keep in mind that disagreeing with kindness is much more productive than with rudeness. Besides, I like nice people.
