I beg to differ:
Loneliness is being sick…..and married.

Awww…
This woman I knew told me that a few years ago. She has been married for 30 years and she said despite being alone for a long time, she never knew loneliness so acutely as when she got married. I tend to agree. When you’re alone, you’re alone – it’s not an emotion, it’s a fact. You don’t expect not to FEEL alone…cause you’re alone. When you have a partner, then you think your loneliness days are behind you, but when they appear….it hits you like a sledgehammer!
Feel better! 🙂

Wow. Thanks for sharing that story. And I’m getting there. Will be back to 100 soon enough.
I actually thought of you when I was writing my post for today. I chose the 6-word memoir theme for the WordPress Writing challenge on Golden years. They are kinda fun to do! Gail at Making Life An Art

Aww nice to be thought of and to have added some inspiration for your post Gail 😉
well I also wanted to add to what you other reader noted – about being lonely with the wrong person
Like “loneliness is being sick – and trapped with the wrong person” because better to be single than with the mismatch fit for you.
and with that said, that is why I always tell people to never rush into marriage or full time relationships – because the right partner makes us better – they are the companion God wants to bless us with – on sick days and on well days…. and it is worth waiting for His perfect match…. 🙂
