Daily Gratitude: Many of you may not understand this but I can definitely relate to it. Ive always been shy and had difficulty making friends. It took a long time for me to be comfortable being alone. But then i learned to enjoy it. I still don’t have a large number of friends but I am finally able to identify the qualities in others that I admire and not just act as if everyone has to be my friend. It’s not easy to admit this but it’s important for those who may be like I was to know they aren’t alone. Find the things about yourself that you like so that you can focus on them when you’re feeling alone. Otherwise you’ll be lonely as well as alone. And there is a difference. What do you like to do? Capitalize on those things. Use your strengths to make the alone times profitable and happy.
