Alone is not the same as Lonely

Learn to be alone.  Eat alone, go to a movie alone (no one steals your popcorn), go on vacation alone.  People dont understand alone is not the same as lonely.  When you can be alone and enjoy it.  you like YOU.  I love to be alone.  Its rare and not because i dont enjoy and relish each moment with my family.  But its because i like me that  i am able to love them.   I didnt like me for a long time.  I had to have a circus going on all the time or something to do with someone.  One day i looked around and didnt even enjoy or like half of the someones around me.  I was attracting the wrong someone's.  I didnt like me.  I couldnt be alone.  I could not let go........hence let God.
Once i learned to let God in and like me......my life changed dramatically.  Some good and a lot tough/bad.  Now.......I still like me.  I like me alone.  I keep working on me and the reward......I love my family and they are able to love me.
Happy Sunday.

  1. <3 -- we is late bloomers...and one of the best lessons and enjoyment for me is being alone. It's the balance of loving people and loving yourself. God is found easiest in the quiet times. Alone is not lonely...not connected to God is much more lonely (IMO)...
