I Have a Hard Time Making Friends

Synchronicity at it's best going on at this moment.

As the colder weather gets here, the more restless I become.
Wishing I was near friends to help pass the season..yup...not some time or a day but a season...lol.. 😲

I pretty much stay busy and very happy as I live outside every waking moment during the warmer seasons. I love gardening, hiking and just being quietly outside under a shade tree, reading.

My husband and I were talking about my friends coming in next week. They are making this trip to see the colors of the trees and help me to get my fill of … talking. 😎
I told him how I was feeling lonely and wish I could make friends here. He told me, you make friends easier than most folks do. I replied, friends and acquaintances are two totally different things.
He then said something that stopped me dead in my tracks.
He told me...
I have always dreamed of being tucked-away in the mountains and woods. Because I am such a private soul. I am a loner by nature. I am not a social butterfly.
"Being bored is my problem, not loneliness ..not making friends!"

Sooo… I have been pondering on this... Yup... I have a hard time making friends because of my own doings and how I wish to be, or it's how I am... 80 percent of the time... Alone.

So, a light came on.. Thank the Heavens!
I must find something to keep my mind and hands busy this winter. I really do.. do fine being alone, without friends, or company everyday.
So this feeling of loneliness disappeared. My perspective, attitude and emotions changed instantly.

I am not saying I don't need friends, we all need to interact. That is what this site is for, for me.

I do really enjoy, cherish my solitude. It's good for MY soul.
