Reconnecting

5 short years ago I was not in a good place. I had disconnected from life after a rough divorce, my life was skidding down the tubes and I did not care to live anymore. I disconnected with everyone I knew, moved across country and did not try to make any new friends. I wanted to be left alone. I had pulled the plug on life...

Living a life with no friends is really not a good idea. You become bitter and hateful and little things irritate you. Negativity sets in and even when good things happen, you are waiting for something bad to happen to "even things out". You cannot progress in life as the Lone Ranger...And even he had Tonto...Withdrawing from society is not the answer to anyones woes...

We were built to interact with each other. The buzz word about 10 years ago was that you don't want to be co-dependent. We taught people to be self reliant and not to be dependent on others for anything. We went way too far, because God Himself placed us here to be dependent on one another. Not to the point where we enable people to live in addictions or to give people everything they need so they become totally dependent, but to help when needed to our ability and to not be selfish in nature. We need others, and to go it all alone goes against God's plan. Yep, God wants you to have friends...

When I lived in Vegas, I just wanted to be left alone. I wanted to just live my life by myself and not be bothered with people. I was totally selfish. But God had other ideas. He kept sending people that needed help into my life. One after another they came with a need that i could fill with a kind word or deed. Gee God...Didn't I make it clear that I wanted to be left alone??? Well God just has a way of placing you back on track in many different ways. He has a way to bring out the goodness and the kind heart that He placed there for you to use. My simple advice is to use it. To give, to love, to grow and to make new friends with a little smile or a kind word or a deed that will make someones day...Connect with someone and you reconnect with life.

Reconnecting is not so hard. It does take trust and sometimes you risk being hurt. But to go into a shell and disconnect with life will lead you down to darkness that you don't want to know...believe me, I know... It's much easier to get over a hurt from a friend than it is to have none. T.com is a good place to start...
