Re:relationships when you work alone - 2006/04/14 22:30
I too can relate. My husband has moved ahead of me to another state. I will be joining him in June. For the past six months I have been alone, working at home.
After a few weeks, I found myself quite depressed, - an emotion that I've never had a problem with. Then one day it dawned on me that this time was a divine gift and I needed to appreciate what had been given me. I realized this was the only time in 37 years of marriage that I was alone with time to focus on my growth and development without having to consider others.
For the first time, I take long daily walks at a nearby park and quietly meditate and pray for myself and my world. This has been an invaluable opportunity to meet wonderful people and share ideas!
Biggest lesson is learning to develop the discipline of thought to stop and recognize that each day is a gift and not to be missed by any limiting, preconceived notion of what is fulfilling.
