Among Friends

[fortune]

@Bobbi sue  Hi, Bobbie Sue!  You sound like you are a good cook!  Every time I read your posts, it makes my mouth water!!!  I don't cook much any more.  I try to eat balanced meals, though.  I have a few places that I bring back food from and several delivery food places.

How is your son?  I have one son, and he is an architect.  He's the owner of my Granddog, Jasper.  I keep Jasper one day a week and pamper him lots!  He loves to come to my house.  He has lots of toys here and gets plenty of treats--if he does the tricks I've taught him!

Your surgery must have gone well, since you're up and about already!  Hope your visit to the eye doctor goes well, too!  It seems as we get older, our outings include a lot of doctor's visits!!

Have a nice day!  Congratulations on being a nurse!  You've helped a lot of people!

I feel that many people go through periods of loneliness.  I send you prayers to help you.

I know how you feel, dear.  I am also alone, no family, a handful of sincere friends.   I am glad you have your church.   Perhaps someone in your congregation might share some time with you for coffee or a visit.

I know it's hard when you have no one.   I have had many issues lately and have been depressed and worried.   I find solace in music, reading inspirational books, watching funny movies or TV shows and finding gratitude in my life.

I know you must feel real deep loneliness to reach out.  But, by reaching out, you are finding ways to connect.

Be well.  Take precious care of yourself.

Familes can be so cold sometimes.    They take advantage and then when we're gone or something happens, they show regret or greed.    

People we love take us for granted.   It's those who have no one who cherish the meaning of connection and kinship.

I get tired of people saying, "it's a two way street."   Not always.  Sometimes, we can do so much for others and they don't reciprocate or honor us.    I guess there are people in this world who would rather hurt someone than heal with them.

Take good care.

Hi! I'm so sorry for your sadness! We all have times like yours. I don't know how old or physically able you are, but there are numerous places that could use your help and talents! Big Sisters, read to the blind, volunteer at the hospital, even more importantly , one time I was visiting a friend in a nursing home on Easter. We took her a corsage. My dd and I were also wearing corsages. Other women looked at us giving her the flowers so sadly that we gave ours to other women, only wishing we had gotten more! There are people in nursing homes more lonely than you! You might go there occasionally, read to some, take little trinkets on holidays ( check with nurse ) and make birthday cards. The staff will , or should, gladly tell you who never gets visited. There are so many places you could be a great help, and no longer be lonely! Good luck!
