This is the season for celebration, families and friends, and togetherness. However, for some people it is the season of loneliness - not necessarily of being alone, but feeling alone. One can be in the midst of a large, noisy crowd and feel alone.
Perhaps you can't be near the ones you love, or perhaps the ones you love are no longer available for whatever reasons. Maybe you are in a time of change in your life, and the forlorn feelings are part of the growth you are going through. Change can hurt and bring on feelings of isolation.
To all of you who are yearning for the good feelings this season promises, I send you my love and the thought that you will get what you want. It will get better. In the meantime, look around and see all the good things - a sunset or a bird singing.
I've been there. I know.
Happy thanksgiving...

Talk about a kind heart, Linda. What lovely thought for those who are solitary today. I think almost everyone feels lonely at some point in life. Those of us who feel it less often are the lucky ones. But loss is a fact of life, and we'll all feel it sooner of later.
