My Thoughts: when the mood strikes.

         Happy Saturday!

         I have found that being alone too much is self-imposed isolation.  The more I am by myself, the more self-centered I become.  I began to wallow in isolation, stew in my own juices --- becoming more and more bland.  Communicating with others of like mind, seems a competition all about "me."  Because I've become my dwelling place, my place of occupation and preoccupation, which has become my easiest point of reference.  Sharing about yourself, attention-seeking is boring --- even to others living in isolation.

         The solution?  Confess your sin and repent.  I believe spending more time with family and friends is a good step --- if you're still tolerable.  Forgiveness is a wonderful thing.  =) 

         When young, I had a large circle of friends brought together by extracurricular activities.  Just being in class with others, opened up friendships.

         Encourage yourself by focusing on Thanksgiving, not the disappointments.  Quiet time alone is less damaging in small doses.
