John, I can't remember if I've commented before, have been reading your blog for well over a year and have laughed and cried in equal measure with you, you have a wonderful way with words. I am so sorry you are feeling low today, I think it's probably after having a few very full, hectic and adventurous days, plus lack of a good sleep, you are coming down to earth - painfully. I hope you sleep well tonight and wake feeling so much more positive. You give out so much of yourself in your dealings with the people around you, in your working so hard to foster good community relations in your lovely village and to us, your blog readers. You must know by now, how much you are loved by so many, near and far, remember it and feel it, it is genuine. Sleep well and have sweet and gentle dreams, nite, nite. Terry in Reigate
Hugs John, new day, new page to write tomorrow. Hopefully things will be a little easier. One day at a time and so much has happened this week it has taken you off your feet (literally). Sweet dreams. Tricia x
Besides the obvious, I would point the finger at fatigue and post-excitement letdown. It feels crappy, though, no matter what the cause. Have a good sleep.xx
it's a process. you will come out on the other side. no one can predict how long it will take. it will take as long as it takes for you. great pain=great growth. big hugs to you. not much that any of us says helps all that much right now. hang in there.
I can tell you from experience that it's an honest and normal way to feel. Perhaps it's the let down from everything, and you're just worn out. Sleep well, faraway friend.
I'm always loneliest after being with family or friends so understand this completely. Hope you slept well. Today is fresh and new and waiting for you to enjoy
Too many changes going on for you right now. New friends, new job, choir practice, new routines, zip wire challenge etc. Slow down and take comfort from the familiar, the village friends, old blogging friends. It is good to be busy but it is equally good to be at peace with your own company. x
Of course Sundays are much busier nowadays. I work in an NHS lab so was at work yesterday but many more things are open now. That said I do sometimes feel the same about Sundays as I did when younger, that they are quiet, boring, nothing is happening and everyone is with their family. Like you I have a tendency to throw myself into things so I don't have time to contemplate my own navel. Sometimes though I think you just need to allow yourself to be sad and lonely. It's allowed John! One day you'll suddenly realise you aren't lonely anymore and you're absolutely fine in your own company. I know I did. At the point I was very a very happy singleton I met my lovely husband but that's another story. Hugs my friend, hang in there and don't let the b*gg*rs get you down!
Weekends are the worst...people keep telling me it will get better. I don't think so. I wonder how I get on and make do without my other half. Love and Hugs to you.
Hoping the arrival of colorful October, and today being the start of a new week also, will bring you a new upbeat outlook on life in the coming days dear John. Stay brave - and always remember your huge circle of friends holds you close in thought.
I remember the feeling after a very social night or weekend I would feeling sad and very only when again I was home alone. It happens, it will lessen and you are too much of a gem with a soul to be alone forever! This , too, will pass but you must go through it.....❤️
We hope you are feeling better. Sometimes you may feel like your having a bad day. Just think you always have tomorrow to start fresh. Thanks for sharing the lovely photo. Have a great weekend. World of Animals
Hope you have sweet dreams, n' nite

Some times even after being around people one is still lonely...I was even lonely when I was married.
ReplyDeleteJo in Auckland
As was I in my first marriage Jo so I know exactly what you mean.

Want my phone number?
Take care,
ReplyDeleteI get it John.
ReplyDeleteThat's normal I'd say, based on my own life experiences.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a good night. Lonely sucks.
ReplyDeleteAll the best,John.

ReplyDeleteThere is an end to this loneliness, John. It doesn't last forever. You can come out the other end. It's worth it too!
ReplyDeleteHope you got a good night's restful sleep and awaken to a brighter today, tomorrow ...
ReplyDeleteHugs!
I think it’s better to be single and lonely than married and lonely.
ReplyDeleteI'm always loneliest after being with family or friends so understand this completely.
ReplyDeleteHope you slept well.
Today is fresh and new and waiting for you to enjoy
I hope you had a good nights sleep and that it is a sunny day for you to get out and walk and pass time with some of your wonderful villagers.

ReplyDeleteThe longer you are on your own, the easier it gets. I love living alone. Be kind to yourself. xxx

ReplyDeleteI've heard if you send Dr Itua your life's savings, he can also cure a bad case of the lonelies.
DeleteI'm a bit late commenting and don't want to repeat what others have said. Things will get better though, it's just hard at the moment. Big hugs.
