I am grateful for many things. Grateful for the people I have in my life; the things I can afford to have; the place I have to come home to. I live alone, unless you count the cat who viciously attacks me, and sometimes it gets a little lonely. Sometimes though, I think it's a little normal or a little natural to feel that way. Who is not, in someway or another, living in a kind of isolation? I look back many years ago, when I was in my teens, itching to move out and wishing that I'd be able to live that single, city-girl life and look! Here I am, living that single, city-girl life. That single, entirely lonely, city-girl life. I am grateful for many things. I am not grateful for my loneliness.
