i'm at this awkward stage of my life where i've become a role model to newly single women.

this all started a few years ago, when a friend who formerly reveled in her status as exceptional married woman and pillar in the community got divorced. and said to my single sister and me over thanksgiving dinner, how did we get our careers going on?

after i picked my mouth up off the floor that this woman had asked me for advice i realized the tables had turned. i had moved from dispised (OMG we'd never want to be single like YOU) to honored (how have you done it, exactly?).

sure enough. fast forward a few years & my divorcing friends are turning to me for advice on being single.

and damn. have i got some opinions on that!


does this mean i'm happy and successful seeing single?

perhaps. it doesn't mean i'm not! in this context (and for the purposes of this blogette), yes. i am still happy seeing single.

older, wiser, but still happy.

this doesn't mean the adventure doesn't continue, but that is the topic of the next blog...
