Being single can be depressing it you let it. I love how much the video reminds us that in either small ways or big, it's okay to be alone and okay to be yourself and it's okay to just be.Jennifer M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04962587342835841240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408906677306311135.post-30500532182658330062011-06-26T04:00:51.180-05:002011-06-26T04:00:51.180-05:00Thanks for posting about it, it was really up-lift...Thanks for posting about it, it was really up-lifting and the video was encouraging.

I've always liked both - time with people, and time alone, but last year my husband had to go away for work for 3 weeks, and I was so lonely - even for such a short time! I think there are different kinds of alone. I like being alone - in spells, so long as I know at the end of the day my soul mate will be there!<br />Sorry that doesn't really help you! I guess you cope with what you get used to!<br />Hope you find a way to embrace your aloneness - just like the video suggests!<br /><br />I found you through a Friday blog hop. I’m following you now and hope you’ll stop by my blog sometime too!

I used to hate being alone and the first few months were rough, but I actually learned to like it and I think it actually made me appreciate and like myself more. I don't have as much alone time as I used to, but I savor every moment I get. :)<br /><br />and I think starting a gratitude journal is a great idea... now sounds like the perfect time and it just might help :)sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08564947640693982280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408906677306311135.post-3675070715280101732011-06-23T16:28:07.648-05:002011-06-23T16:28:07.648-05:00I haven't watched the video yet but I saved it...I haven't watched the video yet but I saved it so I will later on. But my bf and I have opposite schedules pretty much. Usually I see him in the morning before I go to work (he's still sleeping) and at night when he gets home from work--which is usually right before I go to bed. He always works weekends and sometimes we'll have one day off together but we are usually too tired to do much. I feel for you, I'm thankful that I at least get to see him everyday even if we don't spend much time together. <br /><br />Thank you for this post :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15501318729967077544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408906677306311135.post-38823415622507837002011-06-23T16:25:16.510-05:002011-06-23T16:25:16.510-05:00I've always embraced solitude, and I've kn...I've always embraced solitude, and I've known for years that I get my best ideas when I'm alone and letting my mind wander. But I'm a huge cry baby if I'm away from my husband for more than a day. The only time I ever feel lonely is when he travels for work. I get all whiny and cranky until he comes back.
