Alone

I suppose there are quite a few like me. Suddenly single and not knowing how to be alone. I could pretend I'm comfortable with it and sometimes I even fool myself.

But life is supposed to be shared with others. We need the conversation, opinions and engaging rapport. There is a need to do something for others. Sure there are many places to go and enjoy alone, but after awhile, it's nice to be home in a safe zone and feel that your presence is wanted by another human being. 

Daughters and sons with parents. Lovers on a stroll.

A hand to hold or someone to hug when you are cold. Touch.

There is the need to care for someone. They will heal quicker knowing they matter. We want to cheer them on and run beside them during a challenge. They need our cool hand on their fevered brow.

Hard work to provide food and comfort is done unselfishly. Time is your gift. The giving of your heart to please them is your goal.

Do on to others. Golden Rules. Patience and love.

If you have that you are going to be ok alone.
