I remember, I asked a young girl a few years ago during Thanksgiving what was she thankful for, and She said softspokenly "My daddy, because he buys me things." Confused, I continued to question her. "If your daddy is unable to buy you nice things, will you still be thankful for him?". She stared at me wide eyed as if I was speaking some alien language, and of course had no reply. These days we are constantly told by the media, that we are not pretty enough, or that we need to possess material things; and lack thereof equates to unhappiness. It is no surprise that many of us do not possess an attitude of gratitude.

I was inspired to talk about this topic after taking myself for Sushi today and jokingly posting a picture of my sushi roll on my SnapChat Story captioned with the title of this post...I'll admit that the title does make me sound like a loner, but I am in fact the complete opposite. First off, I must say that I have experienced all (or most) of the highs and lows of dating and I have grown completely comfortable with being alone. I have taken the time to enjoy life's luxuries alone and developed an unusual liking for "water tasting." I know it sounds really weird, but in my leisure time I have researched and tried several different brands of water in addition to taking up a few online courses.
