I feel the same way every time I go into the mall. You probably are a tad lonely, but you also have a lot of "stuff" going on. Glad you enjoy your knitting group and I hope having your friend for dinner helped. Enjoy HOBA.

I can't express exactly how I think about this right now, but <a href="http://www.erinpavlina.com/blog/2006/11/how-to-meet-your-higher-self/" rel="nofollow">this</a> probably gets the jist of it. Warm thoughts. :) Have you considered having a conversation with your higher-self?

I don't believe in an over-arching deity, but in the spirit of life itself. Connecting with that is far more powerful than believing there is some being trying to control your life in some way. All religions have elements of the spiritual, but the spirit goes far beyond any of them. And I don't blame you for being depressed while shoppingt - most of the crap that is in the stores these days is pretty depressing, and not presented in spiritual ways at all, merely commercial ways. I found a coat at a big store yesterday, but couldn't find a blouse I liked at all. Later in the day, I went to one of the small shops I frequent, and found a beautiful sweater. And ended up talking with the owner for an hour or so. So much of our transactions in life are impersonal these days it is hard to feel the love that is ttruly behind the season, and the real feelings of renewal and rebirth that were intended to go along with it. It isn't about giving presents to each other - it is about BEING present in each others lives. If we can remember that, then we can celebrate with each other in the true spirit of the season. Namaste..... This is why I started studying Tao and connecting myself with nature and all of life. I don’t believe in an over-arching deity, but in the spirit of life itself.

And hoping something better comes tomorrow
Hoping all the verses rhyme
And the very best of choruses
To follow all the doubt and sadness
I know that better things are on their way

Here’s hoping that the days ahead
Won’t be as bitter as the ones behind you
Be an optimist instead
And somehow happiness will find you
Forget what happened yesterday
I know that better things are on their way

Dar Williams—”Better Things”

What is prayer besides talking, anyways? even to yourself. Always to yourself. It's like a little lamp on things that you need to pay attention to. that's my take on it. Have enjoyed AEM and reading your blogs. I already miss it too. I don’t believe in a diety either; but I do believe in connections and ancestors and the transpersonal.

Not that the world isn't full of things to make me sad, but what is I find unaccountable is why the sad things don't make me sad all the time. Anyway, be sure better days will follow. If there is some overarching supernatural presence out there, which I personally don't find worth worrying about, one can imagine it (him, her) to be kindly and warm--not much use positing anything else. You know, trying to cheer someone up always sounds like such absolute pap when I read it over. I'll send it anyway. I find I have times of unaccountable sadness, too.

Truly, it's great. And even bigger congrats on the good news about your eggs! This is such a hard time of year for so many (myself included)...and you're going through such an emotional journey right now...sending you a big hug from a couple of hours away.
