Tense __________ The way the morning begins sets the tone for the entire day. Even a tiny event like hitting all the lights green on the way to school or work gives people a boost. Pulling into the parking

On the other hand, the day quickly became depressing when a person stepped out of bed into a puddle left by the family's new puppy. On this day, the cereal spoon has a life of its own and just flipped out of the bowl, splattering milky oatmeal everywhere. Car keys hide as the clock moved later and later. All the traffic lights today were red. On this day for stepping into things, a soft wad of gum waits on the parking lot to be picked up. Whether bright or gloomy, the mood for the day is often set by the events that occur early in the day.

No vivo preocupado por estar solo, pero a veces lo noto. Lo noto cuando recibo una invitación de boda o cuando tienen la fiesta de fin de año en mi trabajo y todo el mundo va con su pareja. Incluso lo noto cuando tengo tres invitaciones para salir un sábado por la tarde, pero preferiría a quedarme en casa mirando una película con alguien a quien quiero. Tengo 38 años y ya no quiero ser soltero, lo cual me parece bastante comprensible, pero no lo es. Por eso, me sorprende el montón de artículos e imágenes celebrando la vida soltera.
