Loneliness Support Group
Loneliness is an emotional state in which a person experiences a powerful feeling of emptiness and isolation. Loneliness is more than the feeling of wanting company or wanting to do something with another person. Loneliness is a feeling of being cut off, disconnected and alienated from other people. The lonely person may find it difficult or even impossible to have any...
Weekends are always difficult but tonight after busying myself all day I took my lovely golden retriever dog for a long walk which we both needed. During the walk I thought about what I was grateful for in my life, no easy task, on the heels of a breakup, but I found a lot to be happy for.
When we arrived home I sat on the sofa and my mind started to focus on all I have lost he promptly came over sat in front of me and put his head in my lap. He left it there for a very long time as if to say "I know it's hard right now but it wont always be this way".
I had to laugh and at that moment I remember what my ex mother in-law used to tell me "no matter how long it rains the sun will eventually come out".
So tonight I ask you, what are you grateful for in your life?

I invited Bill to have dinner with me last Sunday. He wasn't willing to drive 7 hours to mid Michigan and teased me with his beautiful ribs!!! So, of course I ate alone and had cedar salmon

check out that smoke ring. It tasted really good. I smothered it with Maulls BBQ sauce which is Local to St. Louis and one of the best I ever had.....
Glad you had nice long walk with dog to put life in perspective! Hugs bill
A car - for now
Food - for now
and that's about it
Your ex mother in law is very wise. That quote is one I need to remember. Thanks for sharing.
Hmmm, what I am grateful for???? There are so many things, but the most important, are things I don't take advantage of. The ability to enjoy watching the sun through the leaves of a tree, birds singing, just experiencing each day & the positive things that are offered. I spend far too much time dwelling on loneliness & depression. I'm grateful for this site & people like you that remind us we can fill our minds with gratitude and positive thinking or chose to ignore what we have to be grateful for & concentrate on every negative aspect of our lives. Thanks for this post!
wife of the couple up the street has moved back in, and her little dog
yaps constantly. I live d-o-w-n the street. I don't see how the people next door stand it.
It was my favorite time of day. So relaxing. I hope they split up again, if they aren't going to do anything about the dog.
I'm sooooooooooo annoyed.
I'm grateful that I don't have any pets :)
I'm grateful for my Mom. She never says "I love you", but she surely shows me she does. She's virtuous in so many ways. She's worked so hard to have us in a mortgage free home. Most thing I like about her is how she shows she appreciates life even when she has very little money. I think it's a learnt habit. She MAKES herself happy. I'm working on that attribute that she possess.
I'm grateful for my son who is transitioning to the playful stage at 16 months old. I like to hear him giggle even though I may be angry at the time. 16 months ago, there were no giggles in the house; just me & my 2 cats. But I'm also grateful for my female cat; she's the playful one.
And I'm grateful for this DS site.
I am grateful for remembering to laugh . I am grateful for a list of things , but finding the funny in situations has really helped get me through . That may sound odd , but it works things never seem as bad when I can laugh .
...........and a vehicle that's paid for!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hee hee
My five senses are in working order, and good mother earth is sustaining me. Nature is soothing, though it can be cruel too.
Oh yes, there's lot to live for.
