I hope things look up for you and you feel better again..Holidays make me feel empty but have to try to be cheerful for my boys..i hope you feel better
I have found the best way to get rid of that empty feeling is to give the best gift you have the give to someone else. And that is yourself ... your time ... spread happiness.
trust me when I say, "I understand" emptiness can't even describe what I feel around this time of year. On Cristmas Eve in 2001 I was standing at Forrest Hill Cementary burying my father. You must keep smiling and besides laughter is the best medicine and before you know a new year begins.

Okay, so what we have here is alot of Pi**ed off, disorganized, sad women I'm feeling it very very very much too maybe it's just a girl thing..we just want everything to be perfect and it never seems to work out that way
Oh well...cause of my "always being grateful little self" I'm thinking of the other things I also don't have: (1) a family member of beloved friend in the hospital or someone I love dying of cancer. (2) a place to live, though my home isn't what I wanted it to be for the holidays, I still have a home. (3) I do have a wonderful new hubby, so I won't be sleeping alone on Christmas eve. (4) much much more and I still have you CS family folks to keep me company and keep me straight, right Daniel??
I'd suggest going for a ride to blow that out, but I suspect the climate is not conducive to such activity. Thus, I will take a spin up the coast this morning on behalf of both of us. Just here to help...
It's in the 40's this morning, but fairly pleasant with the right gear...
I will say this, however. Back in Michigan, riding was a lot more special. That first nice day in spring, getting the bike out of storage, going for that first ride. Here, it kind of loses its luster a bit.
Listen to some good music Dan and dwell in happy times.
You always have friends here.
You know sometimes the emptiness thats there within all of us just becomes more obvious due to circumstances or in such situations. But, pls dont feel alone. Each one of us faces this sometime. Some of us dont talk about it. Some of us do. Its so human and warm to feel even loneliness and emptiness.Its just about being us really.
Dont worry, this is the time to be with family and friends,what if on CS and look back at the happy times and look ahead for more. The emptiness we can fill by our ownself with love buried deep within us that somehow is scared to surface due to past hurts.
Just look within and you will find the happiness and love was always there waiting for you too see it.
Pls dont mistake me, this is the best of how i see it.
