Hey all, I was just sitting here thinking about how horrible this is to be the Holiday and not be with her. I am sure she is not thinking this way, I wish I wasn't. I hate that I can't seem to get past this. It still amazes me that this is where I am. I guess feeling sad and alone is just part of this especially now at this time of the year. I am really feeling sorry for myself. I can't believe I put so much into loving her for her to abandon me so easily and fast. Its like the past 5 years meant nothing. This is so cruel...

Sorry everyone, I am just upset again. This is not healthy for me. I hope everyone is at least having a good Thanksgiving with family and friends. I am just feel sorry for myself and sad :(

Ok. Now that you got that out of your system, what are you doing for T'giving? Is there a family get-together? If not, invite a friend or someone who doesn't have a family and go out to eat together. Then, on Friday, visit your local animal shelter, hospital, or nursing home and sign up to be a weekly volunteer. Begin on Friday. The animal shelter would be an especially rewarding place to volunteer. I get tons of unconditional love at the cat shelter where I volunteer. Plus, I meet lots of other volunteers who mop floors, clean litter boxes, brush cats and socialize them, and I also meet the public who come in to check out the cats up for adoption.

Please report back to us after you've become a volunteer somewhere to let us know how rewarded and loved you feel giving kindness to "the least of these."
