I was told this by a friend. I had called an ex boyfriend and afterward asked myself why did I do it and that is when my friend said you were lonely. I thought about this and I realized loneliness can drive us to desperate measures in which we could be sorry for later. It is hard to be lonely. What is loneliness? You can be alone in a crowd. It is a feeling. This emotion makes a bad companion and leaves you empty inside. Being with people does not change a lonely feeling only being happy inside yourself can take “lonely” away. So the next time the “lonely “feeling” hits….go for a walk…read a book….but most of all be with yourself and enjoy! You cannot be lonely if you like the person you’re alone with. Wayne Dyer

Lately I have been wondering when you or someone you knows needs to realize the field they are in professionally may not be the right one for them. I have been dealing with a social worker who has absolutely no heart. She does not protect the people who she is supposed to be helping in her job. I have a nurse who gets mad at a terminally ill patient and causes that person grief for the whole time they are in the hospital. I have people who work with senior citizens who claim to dislike “old people” and teachers who dislike “kids”. I have seen families of cancer patients get told by the doctor callously their family member died and the cancer victim get told the same without compassion. So when you feel your “ heart” for your field is gone ……………please start a new career for you and me!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life. Confucius

I was talking to a friend today who has been dating a guy for 4 months. He is the first person she has dated since the breakup of her marriage. A few months ago she said he might not be the one but you never know. I said the odds would be very much against him being “the one” right after you break up with another person. I had dated someone some years ago soon after my breakup with my husband. I thought at the time I was madly in love …..I saw marriage and all the trimmings. My friends said “slow down he is not the “one” he is only Mr. Right…..now.” Now some years later I realized they were correct and I told my friend she can have fun but be careful to make sure your heart is safe. I see so clearly now you do need time after a long term relationship breakup to clear your mind… to move forward…. And find the new direction you want to walk. We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us. Joseph Campbell
