But then...

This evening has been different. On my own for Christmas Eve, I actually went out to the grocery store. Not to get anything, but just to be around people a bit longer. They closed at 6, so that was the end of that. I've hung around the house, lonely, a bit sad. A bit sad, some tears come to my eyes at that statement. But it will be ok. It's only one day. In about a week or so I will restart my quest to find someone to spend the rest of my life with. Once my face has healed a little, and Christmas is behind all of us.
