One-Liner Wednesday. There’s a story behind this one, which I don’t feel like getting into. I was going to share a saint quote, but life happens.

On another note, I’m seeing my ex-boyfriend, who is still my friend, tonight. I need to give him his Christmas present. There is an unspoken mutual attraction between us still. But I know he’s not right for me in that way because he’s kind of a commitment-phobe.

Well, I can think of one: “Forget love; I’d rather fall in chocolate.” I don’t know if I agree with that, though.
I love Valentine’s Day. I just bought 100 Saint Valentine’s Day holy cards to pass out to literally everyone on or around that day. Romantic love or a relationship can be an idol, but love itself is the whole point of life.

I got a salted caramel pretzel cold brew and a salted caramel pretzel croissant.
Not much about it was chewy, but it was delicious! And I just realized that you can see my last name in the photo. I don’t think I’ve revealed that on my blog before. Fun fact.
This post is brought to you by JusJoJan and some money from my wallet to pay for my expensive snack.

— from the song “When I Fall in Love” by Nat King Cole
For One-Liner Wednesday, at 4:30 on Thursday morning because the line just came to me. I sang that song in my singing class when I was 19.

Despite saying I wanted a new boyfriend in my recent post, yesterday I started reading the book Single for a Greater Purpose. I’m kind of tired of dealing with romantic relationships, to be honest. And things have never worked out for me. So maybe God wants me to be intentionally single. Thanks, God. That’s scary to think about because I do want a husband — I told God, “If I can’t be a nun, at least don’t let me be forever alone” — but it’s all one day at a time, anyway. I’m not particularly lonely right now.
In other news, I cut myself while slicing a bagel this morning. At least it is something to “offer up,” as so many Catholics say.

I wrote this etheree this morning for the feast of the Epiphany. We celebrated it at Mass today, even though technically it is not until the 6th.

That might seem like cheating — having my word for a new year be New — but it feels right to me. I already kind of messed up, but it’s never too late for a NEW start!
I am hoping for a NEW job this year, maybe a NEW boyfriend, probably some NEW habits (there are some old habits that need to go in the trash).
I don’t want to be a totally NEW person, since I usually like myself (not today, but usually), but I can be a better person.

Today being January 1st, we are starting JusJoJan, which I forgot about until 5 minutes ago. So I wrote this cinquain. I need its reminder.
