Don't Let Lonely Get You Down...

Do you find yourself laying in bed at night alone and feeling lonely and wishing that there was someone next to you? I think all of us feel that way at some time or another, but it can be a problem when it causes you to settle for the first man that comes along in an effort to avoid feeling lonely.

If you feel that you need to be in a relationship because you just can't handle feeling lonely, think about it like this. If you choose to wait for Mr. Right to come along instead, when they do you won't have to feel lonely ever again. You will be with that person for a lifetime. If you don't wait and get into the first relationship that comes along, chances are it will not work out and you will experience lonely again and again.

Being single does not have to mean feeling lonely. While you are waiting for the love of your life to come along, distract yourself from feeling lonely by making it a point to spend time with good friends, read the books you've been wanting to read for what seems like forever, watch whatever you want to watch on television whenever you want to watch it, schedule to spend quality time with your children and/or pets on a daily or weekly basis or... doing anything your little heart desires while you're single. We all know that once Mr. Right comes along that we tend to do less of these type of things anyway, so you might as well do as much and as many things as you can. Many people find that they really enjoy being single as long as they keep busy with the things that are important to them.

One last thing, if you absolutely can't seem to get out of your loneliness funk, the quickest way out of it is to get out of the house and volunteer! The best place is a retirement or nursing home where you can spend time with someone who is probably way more lonely than you ever thought of being. Just spending half an hour visiting with someone who perhaps has no one else ever come to visit them will end up helping both of you beyond measure. It doesn't matter what kind of volunteering you do, you will feel better because you will have taken the focus off of yourself feeling lonely and put the focus on others and their needs. There is little, if anything, that can be more rewarding than this if you're feeling down in the dumps and need a little pick-me-up.

I'm kinda feeling that way too today. I am going to go out in the yard and start preparing my flower garden and just maybe wax my car if it gets warmer. If it doesn't, then I will play with my dogs and wait for Dr. Phil and Oprah to come on. Crap....I may just go look for some paint and start on the house. That is also in my plans.
I find that a good long walk also helps clear the mind and picks me up.

I would rather be alone and feel lonely than in a relationship and feel lonely....but as far as what to do about it...I'm not much help because even I don't know anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YUP!

That's why we were put here together, to help each other out.

I have droll moments, but really, if you just sit with your feelings, and think on them, pretty soon, your mind starts to wander and you feel better. Sitting there staring pain in the face is hard at first, but then it eases. It's really weird, but it works. It may take half an hour or only 5 minutes. Try it if you haven't already.

I love boots, so if you see a terrific shiney pair of red ones, let me know.....

I somehow...out of 300 pairs or more of shoes, do not have any shiny red boots!!! How is that possible? I am going on a hunt now. I NEED red boots....geesh...my wallet thanks you...my gas bill doesn't.
