last night, i trekked over to simi valley for the company's holiday party at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Museum. i have to admit, the venue was very impressive. i got the chance to go inside Air Force One and although it was a 1971 and less hi-tech version of the aircraft we saw in the harrison ford movie, it was still very interesting. more over, it was almost an out of body experience to be dining under this imposing white aircraft.
the night unfolded with endless drinks, a nice dinner and an awesome dessert table. i had fun in spite of the fact that i shared the dinner table with five couples. yeh, it's one of those times that i question myself - where the hell is my '+1'? or will i ever have a '+1'?? i sipped on my cranberry juice laced heavily with absolut vodka as i ponder the thought.
a few drinks later, i realized that i don't need a '+1' to enjoy the party. i was cool by myself. i know for sure that i can enjoy life even if i have to face it by myself. it's sad most of the time yes, specially when i look around the dinner table and i see five pairs of faces beaming with happiness. i look away but only to see more of them happy couples. i manage a faint smile. i am happy.
as i trekked back to sherman oaks with a slight buzz in my head, i remind myself that happiness is not solely a product of a '+1'. i can live a normal single life and be happy, content and comfortable. i have a whole lot of other things that i am be thankful for. it shouldn't take a '+1' to complete my life equation.
i am single and i am proud of it - that in itself is a major '+'...
