I felt like this yesterday. It was a beautiful day and I even spent time with friends. After everyone went their separate ways, I really didn't feel like going home. I drove and drove and found myself getting a to-go order and sitting in a parking lot enjoying a nice meal. While sitting there with the sun, breeze and bird's singing, I realized that I choose to be alone. I hope "that feeling" has past and that today, you're not feeling lonely. I hope you have people in your life who love you and are there in your greatest time of need. I hope you have something in your life that gives you joy...photography, art classes, dance classes, books, music, childcare, volunteering. or checking libraries poster boards for social activities... :-)

Thank you for reminding me that I don't have to be alone. I just got caught feeling down. Now it's time to get up and get moving.
Thank you Barnabas2018!

LOVE that...now it's time to get up and get moving. I tell myself that frequently. Life can be quite demanding and I have to choose when to engage and when to disengage. I love that you're reminded that there are options,

If we're up to it, on any given day...social "activities/events" that we can choose to attend. Life is filled with beautiful choices...one cool thing about being a "grown up." :-)

Sometimes we forget. We can also take it slow and do libraries, cafe's, parks, Barnes and Noble, and museums. Sometimes, I like to go to the mall and just walk around. Not shop or meet people, but just to feel connected. Then go home and choose again, to be alone but not lonely. Love you from this side of the screen <3
