I'm lonely...

It's hard for me to admit, but I'm lonely.  I don't understand why God has given me this life.  My friends are all either married or in their 20's.  I spend my evenings either working or home alone in front of the TV.  Some days that's very depressing... today is one of them.  It's Saturday night, I was so desperate for something to do, I practically invited myself to go out with some people from work... wait there was no practically about it, I invited myself.  How wrong is that?  "Oh so and so and I are going out tonight" -her "Where are you going? I want to go."-me  After I came home from work and thought about it, that was so wrong of me to invite myself to go with them.  Now neither one of them cared if I went with them, but the idea that I had to invite myself is thoroughly depressing.  But it seems to be the only way for me to go out, people are going somewhere and I ask if I can go with them.  I did it to my daughter last week, they were going to Bass Pro Shop, how fricken desperate is that!  Just to get out of the house I ask if I can go to Bass Pro with them.  Talk about desperate!

I never imagined I would be 47 and single.  Some people would say that that's a great thing.  It's not, I'm sure there are some very good aspects to being single... I just can't think of any at the moment.

I don't know why God has called me to be single all my life.  I think I would be able to handle it better if I understood why.  What reason is there behind it?  Why did God have me cut all the ties to the few men in my life?  I don't understand and to be perfectly honest, I don't like it.  It has been over 5 months since I talked to Bob and every single day I want to talk to him.  STILL!  But I haven't, I've been a good girl except for the one IM wishing him a happy birthday.

I want God to either change my attitude about being single (and yes I have prayed for that) or bring a good man into my life (yes I've prayed for this as well).  But here I sit, on my computer, lonely as hell on a Saturday night.  :(  This is one of my least favorite things to do!

I need a change and I need it soon!
