another run up to a holiday alone....
no cards,
no calls,
no contact with anyone...was going to take a long scooter ride now that I've fixed the turn signals (even had a day pack ready with a change of clothes) but too cold and my knee ached too much so I just drove...and drove fighting the urge urge to stuff my face with "comfort food"...25 minutes and the real hell of being alone begins, Christmas day itself...

I'll go down to the cemetery (national cemetery in Dixon, ca) and leave some flowers at the folks grave. After that...?

Hey Jerry, it's the same here; being alone is hell but don't give in to food....must do something in the new year to change things!

My heart hurts for you that you have these feelings. May I suggest for the coming year, volunteering? Look outside yourself and pick a cause you believe in. I have found helping others is a great feeling and also brings me into contact with like minded people. Please know that even tho you may feel alone, you are not. There are so many that feel this way, the holidays are a struggle for many...

Jerry, sending you a little long distance love. I'm sorry that you are alone. Wish you were nearby, I'd invite you over. Church today? It's where people are gathering and eating cookies.

By the way Jerry, I have always found your posts charming and engaging. I hope you use that charm this year to get out and about more. The world needs you now more than ever. <3

My grandmother wisely told me years ago to treat holidays as just another day...24 hours and it is over. Many of us know too well the loneliness that comes from being alone. Start planning today what you are going to do tomorrow when this day is gone. I know it is difficult....but as so many have said, you are loved, respected and appreciated by all of us. Merry Christmas, Jerry....

I know your pain as my parents and only sibling are gone. I am an orphan. I volunteer at the doggie shelter and bake them a turkey so that I won't be alone and I know that my efforts are enjoyed!
