Christmas is a special time for sharing with family and friends…a time for celebrating with those we hold dear. Alas in the busyness of the everyday, it is easy to take for granted the people who help give meaning and joy to our lives. For the single who has a career, the demands of their business or professional pursuits can leave little time to share quality time with those who matter most – or to meet that special someone!
When talking with singles seeking a partner, I am surprised how often in their ‘wish list’ re: Mr/Ms Right they fail to mention something I believe to be fundamental to a relationship…the ability for a couple to be there for each other as real friends. In an article I wrote some years ago Friendship First and Foremost, I suggest that we can readily overlook a potential partner who is before our eyes in quest of a ‘chemistry’ that is unlikely to last!
New Year is a time for making resolutions, wish lists of changes we want to make in our life and of what we want to achieve in the year ahead. If you would like to meet that special someone, another item I have written Teasing Realities from Fantasies may be helpful when you are reflecting on what really matters when it comes to a relationship.
May your festive season be filled with joy – and 2010 all you could wish.
- Yvonne.
