Noteworthy Nugget #84 – Feeling Lonely

alavenderplace

Lonliness is a strange, hollow and empty feeling. As single parents, we have a tendency to have this feeling more than our married counterparts. Remember, just because one is lonely, does not mean they are alone.

To all my single parents and parents alike, here are a few things one can do to escape feelings of lonliness:

1. Stop and be thankful for all the positive things in one’s life.

2. Call a trusted friend to talk, giggle and laugh.

3. Journal, doodle, or start a blog.

4. Go for a walk and appreciate nature and all it has to offer.

5. Pamper yourself.

6. Go shopping.

7. Try a new recipe or bake.

8. Start writing a business plan.

9. Take a class and learn something new.

10. Go to dinner and watch a funny movie.

From one single parent to another, be great!

The little ones are always watching 👀
