Usually, the ocean and mountains nurture me but, at times, their vastness make me feel lonely. I can feel totally alone in a crowd, if there is no one I know or with whom I share an interest. It is easy to feel lonely, I think, in the frenzy of some cities.RNSANEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02841873957894861725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-406042802207115346.post-66934206399451865582011-06-14T07:05:18.423-04:002011-06-14T07:05:18.423-04:00That view is not lonely at all, it is wide open an...That view is not lonely at all, it is wide open and fills one with a sense of being able to sit back and take stock.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14968395062854331063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-406042802207115346.post-46996089848929829962011-06-12T21:44:12.343-04:002011-06-12T21:44:12.343-04:00For me, looking at the pond can be lonely sometime...For me, looking at the pond can be lonely sometimes. This week we had a lot of flooding and I lost my big bullfrog. Now when I look out, my heart sinks for the loss. I still have one frog out there, but that big beauty is certainly missed. It makes my heart sink each time I look at it. <br /><br />I hope my tadpoles turn soon so I'm not sad anymore!Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07042143254001890567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-406042802207115346.post-72693844328977955452011-06-12T17:20:35.576-04:002011-06-12T17:20:35.576-04:00Wide open spaces do that to me, whether on dry lan...Wide open spaces do that to me, whether on dry land or an ocean (or great lake) location.

For sure, if I lived where I had a choice to look out my bedroom or den windows at either Lake Michigan or trees, as much as I love trees, I'm pretty sure I would choose the lake. The moods of the big water are so varied and wonderful, I don't think I could pass that up.Sharkbyteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10139935335209860357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-406042802207115346.post-13456030442688142242011-06-10T21:19:19.674-04:002011-06-10T21:19:19.674-04:00A tumble-down house makes me feel lonely and nosta...A tumble-down house makes me feel lonely and nostalgic at the same time.Secondary Roadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05116234285533139701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-406042802207115346.post-79380868584045604132011-06-10T17:36:37.468-04:002011-06-10T17:36:37.468-04:00I am always lonely in big crowds of people.I am always lonely in big crowds of people.john bainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15624118202659480062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-406042802207115346.post-37141092860709482622011-06-10T12:45:13.264-04:002011-06-10T12:45:13.264-04:00I don't think there's nothing more lonely ...I don't think there's nothing more lonely than I am today.
