lonesome:ADJECTIVE: 1a. Dejected because of a lack of companionship
This is about the way I was feeling. I'm not much for solitude unless I am at the beach watching the waves. There is something so very calming about that. One of the myriad of reasons as to why I miss southern California. I can't exactly hit a beach to watch the moonlight on the waves at 3AM to get some perspective in Hillsboro, now can I? =)
But yeah, that night's lonliness was not one of feeling blessed. It was a profound lonliness that I haven't felt in a very long time.
And isn't Wiki great? Maybe one of these days I'll know something worth contributing to it.
I bet your husband would have been more than willing to keep you company. Why did you not wake him?
ReplyDeleteTried to earlier. He sleeps like the dead. I eventually got to sleep.

Whoops, I forgot my citation. That quote came from Wikipedia.
