Loneliness Blues

Although what others do to us can make us lonely sometimes, loneliness is something inside of us. We can be alone but not lonely, instead, enjoy our solo moments – listening to our favourite music, drifting to our favourite beaches, visiting our local library or bookstores reading our favourite author’s current bestseller, or simply watching an exciting TV show in the comfort of our living room.

Loneliness is when we feel as if nobody cares or wants to be with us.

Sometimes when we are lonely or feel lonely, we ignore what others say or do if it disagrees with what we think is true.

When loneliness creeps in, as occasionally it will, perhaps we should turn inwards and be a healthy company to ourselves. I know ... it is easier said than done.

We can make ourselves busy by doing some things we love to do.  Before we know it, our loneliness is dispelled, we can even forget why we feel lonely in the first place.

For now, it's really that occasional loneliness blues ... that part of life that has to be faced.
