Many thanks.. Still another remarkable way of looking at things, truly precisely why My spouse and I return to your web log over and over again!

First of all, the only thing beautiful about this piece is that you manage to maintain coherence despite your rampant overuse of verbiage and extraneous punctuation.

Second, I found your attempts to keep warm more likely related to your human survival instincts than a declaration of independence.

Third, I’m insulted at your attempts to pass off public sulking as an empowerment piece.

Thanks for your thoughts. By the way, welcome to the internet, where people express emotions…whether it be joy, sadness or “sulking”. Some people seemed to relate.

I love fennel. Being alone is most difficult when you are cold. Maybe a big dog would help?

Fennel is underrated. I wish, but I am allergic!

You write beautifully and sad until you pull it together and reverse course. Well played. I suggest a heated mattress pad for such chilly occasions. It kept Mrs Alpha and me warm (duel zones) many a night until alas…twas just I.

Eh, believe me, I am still sad sometimes. I wish it were so easy.

Very human post. Home maintainence emergencies bring out my weepy side too.

Why can’t these things fix themselves?

I’m not sure I could have picked myself up and dusted myself off as quickly as you did. It takes chutzpah to live alone anymore. Sometimes I have it and sometimes I don’t.

Sometimes I feel like I am faking it…but you have to fake it to make it.

Everyone feels like this sometimes. Everyone. Anyone who says otherwise is a liar. This leads to my theory about why music is so powerful – for any emotion or feeling going through your head there’s a band or a song that will make you feel better, pick you up, or bring a smile to your face. That’s why I give out mix CDs constantly… you never know when you’ll need some good music!

Having said that, this is some awesome prose. I can only hope to someday write like that – you should turn this into the beginning of a short story or something. “I awoke the next day to sunshine streaming through my windows and a renewed determination to live life to its fullest..” (except not so sesame street… but I wrote that in about 30 seconds)

Music can be incredibly powerful–there are certain songs that just make me cry instantly. Or smile…works both ways.

And thanks…I don’t know if short stories are my forte, but I have been trying to explore other forms of writing.

Isn’t it funny. I’m in a great relationship but I miss those nights when I could just get home crawl into bed and be alone. I am almost never alone, but I sometimes feel loneliness for the solitude I once had.

Our lives are always shifting, that is for sure.
