Lonely

I've been feeling very alone lately.  There is not much for me to do here.  The days just seem to melt into one another.  I don't feel depressed.  I just wish I was able to do more during the day.  That I had something to do.

Everyone here has some purpose.  Me, I can't seem to keep my eyes open past 7.

You're sharing your experiences with other J-landers, and maybe help others in a similar position. Don't despair

Oh Hon!!  {{{{ Luanne }}}}  You are there loving your hubby and kids and puppy and you are there doing exactly what God wants for you... hard to accept that, I know, but I know you believe.

Maybe you need a visit from me and the kids???   Just my three... no extras...

let me know... maybe we can start to make a plan!

be well,
Dawn

LuAnne, sorry you are feeling very alone dear.  Have you called the library in your area, they could bring you books like they do for folks here in our area.  If they can, Jennfer Chaverini has a good 8 book series that you might enjoy, Jan Karon has a great series of books on Father Tim, just love them.  No matter what I do in any given day, love to have some book reading time. Debbie Macomber and Joan Medlicott also have many great books, some in series, others individual books to enjoy. How about knitting if you are into that dear, could make something for seniors to use such as small lap quilts, or caps for little kids who are in the hospital with illnesses.  Heck if nothing else, get on the computer and play some slingo games, you can meet quite a few interesting folks there who chat back and forth.  If you are tired by 7, dont fight it, get a good sleep and work to may your days more fun and exciting.  Hope my suggestions might be of interest.  Take care.....AJ

Ya know what LuAnne?  I think some of us die not knowing what our purpose was, but maybe those who knew us knew what our pupose was.  Or we may think it's one thing and somebody else may think it's another.  Can't ever tell, but I understand where you are coming from.  The purpose you have, in my eyes, is to enlighten me on your illnesses, how you cope, or don't, so I know I must be doing O. K. if Lu goes through and feels some of the things I do, and we keep on keeping on.  So, your pupose is for others to bounce off of you!!  lol  Maybe if we look too hard for our purpose we will miss seeing it right in front of us.  I think my purpose was preordained by God, to serve and help others, and  try to do His will, and try to let Him lead me.  I just have to learn to stay out of His way!  Love ya, girl.

Lu dear, I think many of us feel alone at times.  I do.  Autoimmune diseases can be very isolating.
I do know I am never really alone because the Lord is always here.  But sometimes I don't listen and look for Him.
loving you

I know how hard it is on you, just take it one day at a time.

Aw... Lu.
(((((Hugs)))))
I know you are such a social butterfly.
Have you thought of maybe letter writing to soldiers who are overseas?
If you are interested, I will dig up some links to help you locate the ones who really need a penpal.
Thank you for being my friend.
You are such a kind heart.
With Love,
Loretta

I think that it is okay to feel just blah some days.  By the way what do you have against going to bed at 7?  I don't think there is anything wrong with it. The smart thing is that you are listening to your body and taking care of yourself to the best of your ability.  Now that is great.  The lonely thing.  I don't know what to say about that.  Generally I eat, watch tv or play with my critters when I am feeling really blah. I just go to sleep.  It gets better.  At least that's what you tell me.  - Hugs - Tish
