To anyone who is alone this holiday season

Or other seasons too...

❤❄It can be a sad, hopeless feeling..and I know it well. But I'm here , so you're not alone. And so many other members are here, feeling sometimes similar, ( even though we may not know it.) Knowing you are NOT really alone can help 💚🦌

I am usually alone, day-in and day-out, and year-round.

I do not necessarily feel blue at any particular time, though, since one day is like another. I am not a big holiday observer, and am non-religious. I like Thanksgiving and the Fourth, though (except the LOUD fireworks).

More often than not, though, I find holidays annoying because often malls and many restaurants are closed! I have a day off and cannot do anything, but go to parks. But it is too cold now!

What bothers me more about this time of year is just the weather, and early sunset. At least we turn a corner on the sun in a few days. But winter still builds in. It is supposed to get cold this weekend. Ugh.

@JoyfulSilence Ikr...winter can be brisk and Pretty, but the occasionally frigid temps can ruin plans, and the occasional snow. Today I was going to use an awesome coupon for a lunch at a tasty place, but it started snowing and it's too messy to go. Ugh.

@Coralmist

We have no snow now, but it is windy. Yet sunny with puffy clouds.

Tonight I think it is supposed to be 19. Ugh.

I am waiting for a table at a crowded restaurant and every time somebody opens the door there is an Artic blast!
