So... am I lonely? ©

Hello my friends ~

As you probably have figured out

I write when I am inspired...

tonight, well...let me tell you about it.

My kids are growing up

and they are bright kids.

All they have seen of me is action...

busy, always moving, going, going, going.

My daughter used to wait up for me until 11pm

when I went to college ~ I got my B.S. when she was 5.

My son was 2.

I have always been a "career mom"

balancing both, and luckily for me

I had careers that gave me flexibility

to be able to be there for my kids

for everything.

My careers were very social ones ~

always interacting in person with lots

of people, all day long.

I worked with Presidents of companies,

HR Managers, Doctors, entire departments,

large groups and individuals. My careers introduced

me to so many interesting and diverse people.

As my careers changed, my skills developed

and I was able to be more challenged.

And busy. Very busy. Always on the go.

But that was fine ~ with my mind. Not so much

with my body.

My son and I were talking today. He said something

that has me really, I mean really thinking about it.

He said, "you know Ma, I'm sure you must be pretty

lonely and all..." what? "well, you are always in your

chair (with 2 heating pads on), working on your computer,

or reading, or watching a movie. - that seems pretty lonely

to me." whoa.

Am I lonely? You know, my family is tight, and I love

keeping our home comfy for all of us and our pets. My

extended family isn't close, so I don't have family visiting us.

Honestly, I have been truly working on getting well for nine

months now. I guess I must like myself, cuz I'm not sick of

me yet. :) I have a routine of wellness - my healing trail with

my dog and cat (and sometimes friends), yoga when I can - and

sometimes even at the studio with my peeps.

Writing is good for me. I love writing this blog. I know it

helps people from all over the globe. They tell me. That

is healing.

So, am I lonely... ~ hmmm. I am hopeful that my new meds are going

to get me mobile again. And I am always up for visits - just

know that sometimes they may be short ones.

I miss working most...but I have learned something I always knew

anyway...that if you don't have your health, you don't have anything...

and if you don't have the love of your family and friends, and pets...

well ~ then you must be one lonely person.

So nope, I'm not lonely ~

Just BORED.

Healing hugs,

Alicia
