Thoughts from the bench...

The day after Valentine’s Day is the best day to go out when you are single.

It is almost like we all come out and ask, are they all gone?

We take back our favorite restaurants, bars, coffee house and clubs. We are loud and funny. We are at ease. We know what we are dong. We are having a great time.

All my thoughts of getting off the bench disappeared as I realized that I am not sitting at home alone on the bench, but living a life that makes me happy. A life full of great friends and good times.

So for those of you who know exactly what I am talking about, go to iTunes and download:

Single
by Natasha Bedingfield

If you already have, play it loud and proud. Hell! Make it the ringtone on your mobile.

If you are not familiar with the song here are the lyrics-->

Ah yeah that's right
All you single people out there
This is for you

I'm not waitin' around for a man to save me
(Cos I'm happy where I am)
Don't depend on a guy to validate me
(No no)
I don't need to be anyone's baby
(Is that so hard to understand?)
No I don't need another half to make me whole

Make your move if you want doesn't mean I will or won't
I'm free to make my mind up you either got it or you don't

[Chorus:]
This is my current single status
My declaration of independence
There's no way I'm tradin' places
Right now a star's in the ascendant

I'm single
(Right now)
That's how I wanna be
I'm single
(Right now)
That's how I wanna be

Ah yeah Uh Huh that's right

Don't need to be on somebody's arm to look good
(I like who I am)
I'm not saying I don't wanna fall in love 'cos I would
I'm not gonna get hooked up just 'cos you say I should
(Can't romance on demand)
I'm gonna wait so I'm sorry if you misunderstood

[Chorus]

Everything in it's right time everything in it's right place
I know I'll settle down one day
But 'til then I like it this way it's my way
Eh I like it this way

Make your move if you want doesn't mean I will or won't
I'm free to make my mind up you either got it or you don't
'Til then I'm single

This is my current single status
My declaration of independence
There's no way I'm tradin' places
Right now a star's in the ascendant
