Managing spring loneliness!

Spring is bursting out all over. There’s blossoming and blooming and the blush of new life. If it hasn’t happened already, spring fever is bound to hit you soon. But do you have anyone to cure what ails you?

Being lonely is neither new nor uncommon. You go outdoors to enjoy the milder weather and notice that everyone seems to be in pairs. You wish them well and try to share their joy, but living vicariously isn’t really satisfying, is it? While everything is so vibrantly alive, your loneliness may grow if left unchecked. And you don’t want to be the weed that ruins the garden or the bouquet.

Alone in a crowd of thousands
You have friends. You have family. You have invitations to a spring gala, a tea dance and a picnic. You’re a participating member in one or more professional organizations or social clubs or sports teams. And more often than not, you’re in a crowd. But loneliness doesn’t require you to be alone like a hermit; what you’re missing isn’t social activity — it’s intimacy.

Don’t get depressed; get control. If loneliness is common then there’s a large group of potential matches waiting for you to connect with them today! Remind yourself that spring is a time of rebirth and renewal; there’s hope and possibility in every buried seed. You never know what lies unseen, waiting to sprout.
