Memorial Weekend

When thinking about being lonely I wonder on this memorial weekend how many soldiers are feeling this way right now both past and present. I mean when fighting a war what are they thinking about knowing it could be their last thought. When you are not only fighting for your country but your very life at that moment.
Do they think about the last words they spoke to their loved one or the things they have done. How scary and frightening it must be laying there on the ground knowing this could be it. You could have someone right next to you and yet you are alone in this fight of your life. Being lonely when fighting has to be hard if not the hardest thing these men and women do for us.

The Sunset

There is nothing more beautiful than setting on a bench by your self and watching the sun set across the waters. At times like this it is great being alone. You can reflect about your life and the beauty it has in it. There is beauty in being alone. You just have to look deep inside you and find it. When you do it is something amazing. We do not always have to have someone in your life on a day to day.
Sunsets are wonderful

Reasons

Why is it that some people feel the need to have someone in their life? What makes us what someone in our life, is it because we feel we must have someone to love us, like us, or simplly to have the feel of someone needing us. It is hard for people to realize that we do not need someone in our life. A pet or a plant can fill the void where others can not fill in. People do not always give what others are seeking but instead open the gap wider. Creating more problems, heartaches, and awful feelings that were not there until they came along.
Being lonely is not always a bad thing but not always a good thing either. We have to take care not to be fooled by the wolfs out there. In today's world too many wolfs are wearing sheep's clothing. Too many lonely people are getting eaten up by wolfs. You see so many people on the news taking advantage of others from buying homes to buying a new president. It all is rotten in the end.
Being lonely can be a blessing or a curse no matter which way you look at it. Some times it makes you want to scream and other times you wish for those moments when it was just you. Curled up on the couch with a book, my dog on my legs snoring away.
Those are moments I treasure

Family really?

It is amazing when you marry that you would think you are getting an expanded family. That is not always the case. There are families that no matter who you are they do not accept youw. You can do nothing wrong or do everything wrong. People either accept you or they don't. It is hard to have a huge family and yet you have no family.
Being lonely can be so hard when everyone has turned their back on you. It is okay though, because you are not in the mess of things when everything comes crashing down and believe me it will.

Creatures Big and Small

You know being lonely allows you to see and watch what most people miss in everyday world.
Today I seen something that made me cry. A squirrel was killed by a car and it was a slow death. Now most people think it was only a squirrel. But this squirrel was being chased by another squirrel. Was the other squirrel his or her mate, parent, or a friend. We of course will never know and most people will not care. Most will say it is only a squirrel but who are we to judge, someone can say the same of people, plants or anything else. The point to all this is people are in such a hurry and do not care who they step on or drive over to get to where they are going or their point across to anyone they think is listening.
They will use anyone and anything to get what they want. The same can be said for lonely people, others will use what they have and turn them away when they are done. They are still lonely, they are still on the outside looking in. If everyone stopped to smell the flower so to speak a lot more awareness would be known.

Being Lonely

You know being lonely is something you do not think happens when you have a big family but it does and a lot of times family does not even know it. You walk for miles and go no where. People and family hug and kiss you in greeting and push you on to the next person. Do they really see you, speak to you, or just go through the motions and never even know it is you. I have been told that I am a bump on the log at family gatherings yet I speak and talk when spoken too. Do they stop to notice me, no they go through the motions as if in a line and nothing more.

There are so many people who are lonely out there and we walk by them every day. We smile and say hello, maybe even small talk such as "We have to get together sometime soon" and never really mean it. What ever happen to saying what you really mean anymore? When does a family finally notice that they have someone who is alone and looking from the outside instead of the inside?

Happily Married or Not?

I heard a statement today about being happily married and just being happy married. They stated that it takes both people to be happily married. Is this true or can a marriage be happy with just one person? Is the other person lonely, angry, or just going through the motions of being in a marriage?
People who claim to be happy with life and yet years down the road we find out that it was all a lie. How do we know if people are truely happy? What is the key to finding this out. How do we really know someone and how long does it take to find this out. Marriage is suppose to be a lifetime but as I know being divorced it is not always the case. My best friend is going on her four marriage for god sake and we are the same age. Is she happy, she says she is yet I am not so sure if you ask me.
Sometimes being lonely is better than being in a false relationship. I wonder if this is one of the reasons why we are finding more people alone than married or in some form of a relationship.

Lonely People

As I start new in this blogging world I wonder how many lonely people are out there right now reading or blogging. Lonely people still can be married or single but lonely just the same. Sometimes I wish I had friends, friends that I grew up with and known all my life and yet there are those people who have this and are just as lonely as me. I am not looking for a poor me pat on teh back but wonder how many others are just like me.

I wonder if anyone else will read this. I will blogging daily about this and other things that people are afraid to talk about in person or just in general. I hope that if anyone reads this will enjoy simple thoughts and comments about lonely people out there.
