Don't Give In To Loneliness

Lonliness can be a real Monster. It can play tricks on you, and you won't realize it until it's too late. Lonliness must be handled aggresively. Stomp your feet and get busy. There are a multitude of things to do to help combat lonliness. For example, I'm a retired senior, but I manage to stay a few steps ahead of sheer boredom. I care for and play with my really intelligent dogs; I play games on the internet; I perform some household tasks every day. I attend church services. I visit family and neighbors. Hubby and I work in our garden plot a few times a week.

I also listen to lots of music. My musical taste runs the gamut of genres. I do some blogging about three times a week. I do stay in touch with out-of -town family and friends on a regular basis. I do not give lonliness a chance to catch up to me. I enjoy walking around the park a few towns away. At times, I like to cook up something very different from the usual, mundane daily fare.

Due to illness, I haven't been able to travel in several years. That is definitely the best of the best! Traveling. Nothing tops it. Traveling outruns lonliness every time.
