| Here is my 2 cents..for what it's worth.
How many times has life thrown us a curve ball and you just say to yourself...ah..f*ck this! This is just too much.
Here we are minutes,days,months, and years later having that feeling that just f*ckin' sucks! We made it to this point; and we'll make it to the next.
TIME. There is no other way to put it. With the bad also comes the good. Think of all the times that were just f*ckin' outstanding! They will come again.
I hope this helps.
By the way.....Merry Christmas

| xmas isn't for us adults anyways. Suck it up, hide those sad thoughts, and be there for yur kids. Trust me, seeing the little ones happy is enough to brig your spirits up. Every year I love to watch my nieces and nephews open their gifts. (This will be the first year in 8 years I haven't had that privilege)

| I agree with Professor,
I am alone, but I am not going to feel sorry for myself!
Actually, yes, I miss having a warm body next to me... but at what price?
I have been blessed with so much!
I really don't think its the Holiday that makes us blue, its the reality of Rejection.
The person we trusted who knew us better than ourselves/ rejected us. Its a pretty powerful emotion to feel.
We are in control of what we will entertain!
I am a honest, sincere, trustworthy,considerate,faithful,compassionate, and most of all Beautiful woman on the inside and out I have the entire package. His loss/Not mine Nor is it any of ours!
We all have issues, some of us have more than others....(LOL)
Lets not have a pity party! I want this to be the best Christmas ever!
Jesus is the reason for the Season--Right??
Lets concentrate on his life for a moment and then evaluate yours!
God Bless You Guys!
Each of you have made an impression over the past couple of months.
May 2008 bring us all what we are looking for and what we need!

| its been 5 years since i had someone to share christmas with that special person but then i think back i have never been alone at all i have had christmas dinner either with friends and this year is the first time my family well be all together for dinner.well look at this way you going to have food on the table and gifts for your family look at familys in this country that don't even have a roof over there heads and no food to feed there familys and not even one gift to give to there kids.so if you are really depressed go to your local salvation army and volunteer to feed familys that don't nothing and i bet you would change your mind then.god bless america and everyone on dh and a blessed new year.bobby

| well..you WILL have some lonely moments tonite..I like what the professor said! Step outside and look at the stars and that Full moon! It's gorgeous! And if anythng else, it'll get your mind off of being lonely cuz if you just think of me in NE, you'll know that I'll be outside now and then tonight freezing MY ass off !
Nothing like a little cold to make a gal stop feeling sorry for themself!
Hugs sweetie...you can do it!
