Dear Lord,

Dear Lord,
It has been a very tough day for me. I feel lost, lonely, stressed, unhappy, and nobody is on my side. I keep looking for answers, solutions, peace, and good news. Today I found problems, anxiety, and bad news. Lord, I know you want me to be happy and I can't understand why I'm not. Please give me Your peace and good news. I really need something good to focus on. By the end of the day, I looked like an unhappy cactus but fortunately I was able to go home. Please send me some good news tomorrow. Amen.

Baseball Thursday

I may not be good on my diet today. I may not have someone to join me. I am at a baseball game at Redhawks stadium. I have a great seat and I'm partaking of dollar beer night. This is a great diversion to keep my mind off of lonely feelings. I won't be lonely long. I love to be busy too so this is my turn to do stuff and have fun. I won't let the time go to waste. I will do good!

Dear Lord, thank You for Your blessings. Amen.

Staying connected

Today’s rating is Positive.

I realized that I haven’t reached out to any of my friends or family most of the week. It’s important to stay in touch with people especially when going through a tough time. I’ll send a text to one friend, call a family member, and post a message on someone’s wall on Facebook.

Living in isolation is bad for your health. If you feel lonely, call somebody. I promise you will feel a lot better. In my opinion, we all need each other. God created us to be social creatures not hermits.
