"my loneliness is killing me"

Today, I am grateful for my loneliness.  I am still working on becoming my own best friend, on keeping my cup full, on loving myself just as I am. The discomfort I feel in wanting affection, approval, attention from another, in longing for something, anything from someone else, reminds me I still have room to grow.  

I am learning how to sit in my discomfort.  I am learning how to allow whatever is to be.  I am learning it takes practice. 

I accomplished being kind to myself and letting go of plans by sleeping in.  

I delighted in the scent of fresh roses during my morning meditation and in receiving gratitude for my patience from a woman I allowed to cross in front of me.
