I moved there because my daughter Sarah Margaret who was going into the 12th grade at the Professional Children's School in New York, wanted to be in the same place where her sister Rainey was, and Rainey was in L.A., Ms. MacDowell, 68, said, referring to the actress Margaret Qualley and the actress and singer Rainey Qualley. (She also has a son, Justin, who lives in Montana.)
If you are single, such a reminder can be good if you don't like paying double what you normally would pay for essentially the same food at a restaurant. But it can be challenging even if you are happy being single for most of the year. You may be wondering what you can do to occupy yourself during Valentine's Day when you are not part of a couple.
When I found myself in the wreckage of my third marriage, I finally woke up to the wrenching truth that marriage isn't for me. I looked back on my relationships and came to the sudden realization that, as much as I tried, maybe I'm not the marrying kind, have no idea what I'm doing, or am clueless about what makes a good life partner or how to be one. Or, likely, all of the above.
