I feel it too Poet! I guilted my kids into going to church with me tonight because I get tired of going alone! Hey, it doesn't hurt them to go the odd time with me, it's at least the youth service tonight! But, lonliness is something i struggle with too. I was used to having a wife and family to do things with each weekend, someone to come home to on the weeknights and now I have a turtle. It's great having the kids every second week but they are at an age where they don't want to hang out much with Dad, I understand that. So, I try to keep busy with activities and my friends when we can get together but lonely is still lonely. I'm not complaining, I have a decent life but when you are coming home to an empty apartment it's sometimes difficult. So, I know what you're feeling Poet, I think we all do. Btw, it's OK to feel depressed for a day or two, sadness is a feeling and we each have it and the world won't end if we allow it a day or two. It's called being human. I'm still trying to convince myself of this fact !!! Hang in there.
