Why do I feel so lonely all the time? I just can't figure it out.

~LaVonne D.

Loneliness is part of the human condition, and it really doesn't have a lot to do with whether we’re around other people or not. Many of us have, at times, felt lonely in a crowd.

The essence of loneliness is isolation from self. As we learn to know and comfortably accept ourselves, silence can become a friend. Those who have grown to this level of self-acceptance are never truly alone.

There is a rub, of course. For years, we may not have wanted our own company because we haven't liked ourselves. We haven't been willing to peek beyond the walls of our most private and personal secrets. And why? Were we afraid nothing would be there but damage and disappointment?

But the program shows us that it isn’t true. There is not damage, disappointment, and failure at our core. What is there is a beautiful person doing the best possible with the tools at hand.

As we go on, we need never be lonely as we once were.

Today is "gratitude day." Today, I am thankful for my growth.

Today's reading is from the book Days of Healing, Days of Joy: Daily Meditations for Adult Children*
