All this in the company of a 2 year old.<br /><br />Different issue for me, New Years Eve/New Years Day--I had the 2 year old and he-who-thinks-I'm-nutz. (might have a point....LOL....I AM menopausal!!) But you can be amongst others and still find yourself 'alone' in thought/feelings, as you well know.<br /><br />But I know and you know--this'll pass. (pretty much has thanks to my snarky way of dealing with the uckiness) <br />And each day is a new day. (THANK goodness!!!)<br /><br />So--blessings to you.<br />And yours. Wow--they've grown up nicely!<br /><br />And if you're in need of an oven to clean in the near future--don't look in this direction. LOL It's mineminemine all MINE, I tell ya! ;-)Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14408403855260279799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72316245999049873.post-57980929607198898412012-01-03T17:51:25.898+00:002012-01-03T17:51:25.898+00:00I hope that 2012 will be a happy new year for you ...I hope that 2012 will be a happy new year for you Mandy. There will be challenges, but you've overcome so much in your life already. I'm sad that you felt so lonely. I'm not a big fan of 'New Year' for all sorts of reasons, a lot of hype and anti-climax being amongst them. I think sometimes the perception can be that everyone else is having a good time whereas many are just getting through and some are lonely even when surrounded by people.<br /><br />Your sons are very handsome young men and you must be proud of them.<br /><br />On a lighter note at least the stove won't need doing until 2013!GaynorBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12971753467966206018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72316245999049873.post-88472806738517628732012-01-03T16:47:17.729+00:002012-01-03T16:47:17.729+00:00(((hugs))) Feeling lonely is horrid, especially du...(((hugs))) Feeling lonely is horrid, especially during the holidays. I'm glad you wrote about it and made it through. <br /><br />The picture is fantastic. Your son's are as handsome as you are lovely.<br /><br />May 2012 bring wonderous, happy things to you!nitebyrdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04967190902623933068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72316245999049873.post-62826637083277508692012-01-03T16:12:27.467+00:002012-01-03T16:12:27.467+00:00Wow...you cleaned the stove?!

No..oh!<br /><br />I'm sorry that you struggle through New Year...it is a tough time of year. I don't have any words of wisdom but I do thank you for sharing what you are going through...I hope it helps you and I know that it help others.<br /><br />*hugs*<br /><br />C x<br /><br />Ps.

BUT IT WILL.<br />And we are all going through sad times, or loneliness, or fear, just on different occasions or for different reasons. But when we look around us, we see that there are smiling women near us, holding and comforting us. Just lift your eyes! And go to the Blogland café where we can turn up any time of day or night, and let others know how you feel. You see how much response you are getting, heartfelt and sisterly. So lift your glass, and sing a song with us! Many good New Year`s wishes from Usedom!Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06484336744673299416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72316245999049873.post-72716964348735590082012-01-03T07:01:06.761+00:002012-01-03T07:01:06.761+00:00Just found the post.

Miss the Beautiful World as a part of daily life but the sense of community remains, of knowing people from afar as friends and sharing their landscapes and fancies. I follow them (and you) on blogs now and post to Richard's new one as it grows slowly into something very special, too. I have great excitement about 2012, not as a Doomsday promise from the Mayans but as an expression of the beginning of a great new cycle of their calendar and a psychic opening for us to enter into the continuing cycle freshly. Health, happiness, and happy photographing in this new year.

Your honesty and authenticity of your posts can serve to help those suffering the same pain. Your humour is refreshing and your personality peeks out from every sentence.

I'm glad ...Happy New Year, my far away friend. I'm glad too that you didn't close up the blog. I hate that lonely feeling, and often feel it in the middle of a crowd. Which makes it easier for me to hinker down in my isolation. <br /><br />One thing I know for sure, if I ever wake up wanting to clean the stove, I've most likely having a nightmare or running a fever. <br /><br />May the year ahead be full of all your favorite things ... a clean stove, a bottle of champagne, your sons by your side and places to walk.Merry MEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00462036349233154101noreply@blogger.com
