I found you while on my Mondo Beyondo journey this past summer and I'm very glad. I am struggling with being alone, and have been for some time. Most of the year its fine, enjoyable for me in fact. But this time of year poses what I call 'compulsory fun' and I have a hard time with those obligations that come mostly from work. We have an office decoration party which is great and a tubing event at a local ski hill to top it off. But today I get presented with more festivities and bah humbugged them away quickly. Now there is talk of a departmental gathering and secret Santa. Enough is enough and it really struck a nerve because it magnifies for me being alone and lonely during the holidays. Any advice on how to cope and not let this become the overwhelming feeling it does for me each year? Thanks Deanna, Vancouver, BC Canada Hi Mike,

In addition to all your wonderful suggestions, it is essential for each of us to take some "serenity time" (even a few minutes) each day to be in that calm, focused, grounded place. Even 15 minutes of relaxation, meditation, or peaceful introspection will help revitalize us and gain that better perspective of appreciation and joy. Be kind to others -- but also make the time to be kind to yourself! Sheryl Schlameuss Berger, RMT Mike,
