I am following you from the Lady Bloggers Society :-)<br /><br />This is the first year I will not spend my holidays alone since my husband passed away 8 years ago. <br /><br />It will be a different experience since I could not get into holiday festivities and didn't participate most of the time. I preferred my aloneness than feeling lonely in a crowded room.<br /><br />I'm looking forward to exploring more of your blog when I have more time . . . you are an awesome writer!<br /><br />Visit my blog when you get a chance . . . http://peacelovehappinesshappens.blogspot.com<br /><br />Cheers . . .

I can actually look back on most of those Thanksgivings I spent alone rather fondly. <br /><br />The first one? Not so much. I can't begin to express how awful it was. ;-)Single and Sanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01088040256596780195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6658367767843980800.post-65150057677769250222010-11-11T23:26:08.852-06:002010-11-11T23:26:08.852-06:00When I find myself alone on a holiday I always mak...When I find myself alone on a holiday I always make sure I have something to do and try to put s positive spin on the alone time. Sometimes it is successful other times, not so much. <br /><br />I spend Thanksgiving wherever my parents do. Every other year they have dinner at their house, the next they go to Grandma's. The day after, especially if my son is at his dad's house is that hardest for me so I spend the day putting up the Christmas decorations.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10130442147509407544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6658367767843980800.post-92001508338400161402010-11-11T19:40:59.759-06:002010-11-11T19:40:59.759-06:00margaret,

As I took a weekend road trip to get a good dose of nature (autumn colours, lakes, and rolling hills) I couldn't help but think (a lot) of how I wished that I could share that awesome beauty with someone. The silver lining in that experience however, was that I was able to relive some warm memories of Thanksgivings past with extended family and also gain a renewed appreciation for family. So next year, there will definitely be a group of family/friends getting together to create new warm memories.HDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14876008469631997287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6658367767843980800.post-18178196348119004812010-11-11T12:26:16.269-06:002010-11-11T12:26:16.269-06:00I agree completely.

To which I say-- find something to do! :)Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18200080391601285593noreply@blogger.com
