Single? Receive The Gift Of Love This Holiday Season

By: Margrit Harris

Love is waiting for you! It probably is a little different than you expect, but so much more than you ever imagined.

No it's not the usual, "Give to get" "It's better to give than receive" rubbish.

After all, how many times have you heard a trite phrase like that? How many times have you wanted to strangle the person who carelessly threw it at you as you face yet another empty holiday?

According to Brandy at Singles Station[1] in Tulsa Oklahoma there are between 20 and 40 women signing up for their dating service each week. 2003 Government Census data[2] tells us that there are 24,152,000 women without a companion in the age range of 20 - 44 alone. Now of course some of these are surely in live-in relationships. However, even if that accounts for half, that would still leave 12 million women. That's a lot of need for love!

Some time ago I stepped into a business center in a resort hotel. Two women in their late twenties were perusing personal ads and responding to them. Several hours later when I came by again, the same two women were still glued to their computer screens. Millions of women seek love in this two dimensional manner every day!

Is that just the way it is today? No, it doesn't have to be.

No strings attached love and loyalty can be yours in a very real way. Okay, it doesn't come with sex, but peace of mind and a full heart are definitely included when you allow a furry companion into your life.

There are 264,060 pets looking for homes on Petfinder.com[3] the country's largest adoption list. They have cats, dogs, and exotic small and large creatures just waiting to give love.

A pet can truly fill an empty heart. During a rather difficult time in my life I was blessed when I paid attention to the loud meow of a mere bag of bones and fur. This tiny kitten filled a big hole in my heart as she became a faithful, playful and constant companion.

According to PAWS of Tulsa[4] 12,744 pets have been destroyed this year because they couldn't find homes. In 2004 15,015 dogs and cats were taken to the shelter and a whopping 13,735 were euthanized. Now if we multiply that by all the cities across the nation - - That is horrific! That means we loose almost all the animals in shelters!

Here is what it looks like: 12 million women in need of companionship and 264,060 pets needing to give their love away. Come on ladies, time to hurry to your nearest animal shelter to pick out your pet and get ready to receive the gift of love in a different, yet fulfilling way this holiday season.
