Awe Sweet Spring!! There’s no place I’d rather be than outside when spring arrives. Everything is waking up from the slumber and everything that looked totally dead starts to sprout green. It never ceases to amaze me!

I find so much sanity with the dirt, the green, the bloom, birds singing. To just lie silently listening and feeling the warm sun kiss with the light breeze caressing your skin. I don’t feel alone at those moments… I feel connected to the universe.

If you get lonely, plant something, nurture it fully and watch the results. It really does help.

What does this have to do with stress relief? Loneliness can be stressful on your soul. But sometimes it is the only right choice. Even when you know it’s the right choice it’s hard to take the edge off of “alone”.

As I write today, my soul seeks stress relief from this very issue. Ironically, I am tied to a keyboard instead of playing in the dirt. I need a recess. My mind drifts to playing in the sun and easing this stress.

The question I’m consumed with today, is it better to be alone than to be with the wrong person? In theory something is better than nothing. Now, I already know deep in my heart the answer to the question. You do an injustice to anyone you are with if it’s just to kill time till someone else comes along. It is very selfish! It’s not like I would like someone to do that to me.

What to do? Patience, I hate that word and love it…. Ugh!! Yes, there is so much to be gained by having it…. But what to do while you wait? Again, I know the answer… ugh…. But well sometimes I just need to rationalize it all… Oh, the answer, look inward… work on me… follow my dreams and passions…. Enjoy life fully…. And try not to think about the man … ya know the one that you dream of……..

Try to pretend that he’s not there….. but be patient and see if he arrives when it’s time.

Go play in the dirt!
