Holidays

December 10, 2012 | by Natalie Caine | No Comments

I don’t know that people talk about this much.  I need to.  I am alone.  I don’t really like the holidays and want them to be off the TV and calendar.  

I sound selfish.  I would not be if I could find a new direction.  All the losses come up for me this time of year.  I will serve at the Mission for the Homeless and still I cry.   

What do you do when you feel alone for the holidays?  I actually go to bed early which I never use to do.   I walk in the day.  I work.  

When you talk about losing meaning, I guess I have.  I am ready to find new meaning.  Thank goodness for the light of candles.  

Any ideas or does anyone else feel lonely at the holidays?  Thank you.  

I can’t believe my story is the only one.   We all lose people we love or they move away.  Tears are good.  Hope needs to build, I guess.
