I am alone too, except for two cats.
Good evening,
I am alone. Made the big move to South Dakota from NY in October.
No family here.
Wanted to live in a free state.
Happy, but a little lonely.
Merry Christmas!!
You’re not alone. You are here with FRiends.
I never feel alone, as solitude provides absolute peace of mind.
You’re lucky. Greyhounds are great dogs. I’m spending Christmas with one Treeing Walker Coonhound, one Greycoon (which is a Greyhound/Coonhound mix) and one wacko wife. Two out of three ain’t bad I guess.
Not alone, but a small gathering. Just my wife and I and her son. My son will be home next week. Watching the Band of Brothers marathon right now on the History Channel.
At sister in laws with 10 relatives.
Wishing you a joyous and peaceful Christmas!
As per usual
Merry Christmas.
Spending Christmas Eve with my 3 Shetland Sheepdogs.
Covid-alone...
My love died last year. I do have a cat that is truly a gift to me. He got stuck underneath my front porch stairs. I heard his little cries as I was about to leave for work one morning. His little kitten eyes had not even opened yet. I had to bottle feed him for weeks. Needless to say he thinks I am his mom.
Not exactly alone but with just the wife which is very unusual for Christmas Eve. Normally we have a huge crowd over or we are making the rounds. But so many people skittish over the Chinese virus are opting out. Which is sad. We are both in our upper 50s and we are living life - outside every day and carrying out our normal routines as much as possible. But so many others want to hunker down.
Every year.
I am about to cut up vegetables for a dish that I hope my family is not able to enjoy because they decide not to come tomorrow because I really don’t want to put up with them.
(I didn’t invite them. The family I live with did. Boy, do I regret not buying that condo.)
I don’t want to fight with them over masks.
If the bad weather holds up, I may get my wish.
I am sorry you are alone if you don’t want to be.
This plandemic stuff makes it difficult to find and be with likeminded people since you can’t easily make new friends. And I guess friends who would otherwise be inclined to invite you over, they don’t want to run afoul of any of their Karen family members who might be coming over.
Merry Christmas. I would rather be alone with booze rather than face another night with my anti-Trump relatives. They’re the minority but obnoxious to a point.
After the last scene of my life flashed before me,
I looked back at the footprints in the sand.
I noticed that at many times along the path of my life,
especially at the very lowest and saddest times,
there was only one set of footprints.
This really troubled me, so I asked the Lord about it.
"Lord, you said once I decided to follow you,
You'd walk with me all the way.
But I noticed that during the saddest and most troublesome times of my life,
there was only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why, when I needed You the most, You would leave me."
He whispered, "My precious child, I love you and will never leave you
Never, ever, during your trials and testings.
When you saw only one set of footprints,
It was then that I carried you."
I’ve got the animals with me. . .Doogie Dog, Doggie Dog, cats Big Bro and Lil Sis, our Free Republic Family, but most importantly my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Who was born to die for each of us. That if we believe, the Holy Spirit dwells inside of us, ready to help us along life’s way. Have a blessed Christmas everyone. Keep CHRIST in your CHRISTmas.
Any loners east of Austin? You can come and be with us on Christmas day. PM me.
No one is ever really alone. You just might not be able to see the people.
