Being a single mom with my kids full-time, what keeps me going is the thought of an empty nest. And being all alone. April´s last blog post..Random Thursday

I agree – your friends make your life worthwhile. I know I am not an empty nester, but I am in a similar situation, bc any family is continents away – either in the US or India – not close by any means. So my friends have become my family. I and don’t know what I would do without them.

That reminds me, when ur kids go off to college and u’re in Manhattan…try to come to Europe, too! ;)

Nice list. I believe that being single again should not be a reason to be lonely. There are many important things to do, as long as you think about them. And I am glad you're kidding. Others do it seriously, and even commit suicide. Emptiness can kill too. Thanks! Angel Cuala´s last blog post..The Latest Online Suicide Victim and How to Stop the Others

I was reading along, shaking my head in agreement, and then I came to this: "just kidding." Ugh...there goes my plans for the long weekend! I will be home alone and the loneliness is deafening at times like this. (And of course I was just kidding about the drugs too.) Wendy´s last blog post..I must be getting "better"

Mad Cartoonist – inviting someone on a ski vacation after just a few dates. Wow, you are my kind of woman! I do crazy stuff like that all the time, more on the weekend getaway level, but similar nonetheless. It’s great! We’re all adults. We’ve all loved and lost. At some point you put reality ahead of fantasy, and just go with the flow.

Thanks for the laugh! I think the holidays are emotionally draining for everyone, whether you’re single or married. I don’t know why it does SEEM harder to be alone during the holidays though — and seeing couples cozied up together everywhere you turn can be a little grating — thanks for the good tips to make it through the holidays!! My drug of choice will be red cabernet this holiday season! Cheers!
