But a few weeks ago, I started to picture what that would look like and I saw myself being anxious, distrustful, on edge, stressed, etc. since J cheated on me and I saw it right before my eyes ?), I’d ask God EVERY single night to bring back the ‘good’ J and give us 1 more chance at possibly making it work. Of course I talk to him throughout the day as well but that’s more like ‘chit chat’…not a formal type of prayer. I know…I know…but God says “Ask and it shall be given you” (Matthew 7:7-8).

That I’m OK taking care of myself and that I can have a life (even travel!) with just me. I learned so much about myself and have done things I didn’t know I ‘could’ do: electrical work (I just changed out my porchlight a couple of days ago!), painting the entire interior of my house, getting on the roof to clean out gutters, etc. So, as my sweetie peeps know from reading this blawg, I’ve been single for about a year now and although I’ve been lonely at times…particularly during the March quarantine…I’ve also really liked it too.

We don't stake our reputation on singles and we never have done, but I think it's brought in a lot of younger people to our concerts.” Guitarist Brain May was amused by the song's success: “We're not a singles group.
