It always seems quieter when we need someone the most. But we're all here for .. Reach out anytime

Ola! :-)

I need to hear some positive messages too Barbara. I am real down in the dumps. I've got a situation going on that I am NOT happy about, but nothing I can do will change it. :-( For financial reasons, it has to be the way it is. I am miserable.

Big hugs.

Same here

May your new year be a fresh start for you and I wish you happiness.

I hear ya! Just look at it this way, this is the time of year people are really busy with family, kids, whatever and just trying to catch up, I'm sure social media is the last thing on their minds. I've notice that too. But I just take it as the holidays.

I am actually looking forward to New Year's Eve, think about that do you have any plans? Do you look forward to the New Year? Did you make a resolution, what's been helping me too is I have a Pinterest board, I am an avid Pinner, I love it I have a board named my goals for 2016 and have been pinning the shit out of it, I plan on actually having a life this year! :)

Hi. I am alone too.

Hi Barbara,

Just wanted to say that you're awesome. Big hugs! :)

This time of year can be awfully lonely for some of us.
I got a couple of beautiful quotes from an internet friend the
other day.

I will no longer allow all the negative things in my life to
to spoil all the good things that I have. I choose to be happy.
************
God grant me the strength to keep my heart open this week
To forgive and let go......
To acknowledge my patterns of stress and release them......
To be present, mindful and kind.
***********

If you don't leave you past in the past
it will destroy your future.
Live for what today has to offer,
not for what yesterday has taken away.

Hope that helps.
hugs

may not be around much but I'm here :)

WHY is it so difficult for people to come right out with, "I AM LONELY"?

Loneliness is not a crime!

I live in a gated community for people 55 years old and older and it is the loneliest place I have ever been!! And most of us are miserable!

I have been a widow since 2008 and am pretty well adjusted. I AM GOOD TO MYSELF and accept the little bit of companionship that my adult children (and grand children) have offered over the years. I never wanted to be a burden and try hard not to be! I do not yet need a caretaker!

For the holidays when my children are busy with THEIR inlaws I plan ahead, buy food that I really enjoy and purchase myself something that I really desire at the moment. This year it was a portable charger for my iPhone. This enables me to still have a telephone when the electricity has gone out, which it sometimes does in the Pacific Northwest!

I have Netflix and Amazon Prime so always have a movie to watch.

REALLY, this day and age, what with Facebook, etc. etc. there is no excuse for being lonely! Happy New Year!! KK

Hello, I haven't talked to anyone today or yesterday.

Hi! Happy New Year and may God bless you and keep you safe!

Hi! There. You heard from me!
