Home Alone
Do you remember the film, “Home Alone” with Macaulay Culkin as Kevin. The story was about an eight year old boy accidentally left at home whilst his family spent Christmas in France and the plot involved his hilarious escapades trying to outwit some bungling burglars. Well for many of us over 40 it is our turn to be Home Alone. Parents may not be around any more, children have fled the nest, friends have moved on and Christmas can be a time of dread and despondency not joy and laughter.
We may plan a holiday and escape, we may fill the days with activities to keep us from thinking about our lack of companionship but sooner or later we all feel the emptiness of not having another human being with whom to share our secrets.
The interesting thing is that most of us still hold back from making contact with new people as the fear of rejection scares us from taking the first step or the imagined embarrassment of meeting new people stops us moving forward. Life is so very short, we never know how much time we have and personally I only regret the actions I haven’t taken not the ones that I have. Love and friendship is happiness and if you want more of both in your life then joining www.confidentlife.com will help you achieve this. You will meet like minded people and guess what they are as excited and nervous as you are! You can help them by being relaxed and interested in them. Ask them about their life, be a good listener and above all smile when you meet. Be light hearted in your e-mails and genuine and you will find your new friends respond the same. Make the person you are contacting feel important tell them honestly why you felt they were a person you wanted to consider as a new friend.
If you take the first step and get online I can guarantee that by next Christmas you will not be Home Alone you will be spending a marvellous time surrounded by love and laughter and above all you will have found happiness.
Take Care,
Jill
