Rock Reflection Ritual
This morning the rock is chilly! I needed to put on a sweatshirt. My hot cup of coffee is welcomed! Bear has joined me as usual!

Alone, but far from lonely! I know what loneliness feels like! I suffered from an incredible amount of loneliness in a past relationship! I was lonely even when this person was with me! How could that possibly have happened to me?
I had changed from a confident, vibrant person, into a very insecure person! No one knew how to help me through this incredible nightmare I was living!
The relationship ended, I was still alone and lonely! I had been for years!
Postpartum depression and PMS were not talked about then, like they are now!
My dad actually figured it out! We had gone through (at different times) the same week long intensive counseling program. We spoke the same language!
My dad and my counselor, couldn't understand why I was still hitting incredibly low points. It made no sense! Dad had made incredible changes in the way he treated people, the way he thought and how he felt about life!
He couldn't understand why I was still struggling? To watch me suffer, month after month, scared him!
Thank goodness, my dad saw the pattern of loneliness, sadness and emotional back sliding, I was going through! He asked the right questions and got me the help I needed!
Today, as I reflect upon my life, the loneliness I once felt and the magical coincidences that led me to this amazing moment in time, I am grateful for the miracle that his love, wisdom and insights led me to!
Sometimes now it's nice to be alone, not lonely, just alone! I am today! It is great, peaceful and reflective!
When you are alone, are you content or lonely?
May you too, find peace in being alone!
