This is just getting depressingly bad. I wish I could even think of something interesting to go do by myself.
:pray:
Have you ever been birdwatching? I purchased a field guide to the birds in my state recently, and while I have not been able to get to a park yet, I've been able to identify several birds I did not know the names of just by being outside the house or looking out the window. I find it enjoyable, a great way to appreciate the beauty God has given us in nature

A road trip to a week or two stay at some religious congregation sounds interesting.

I'd swing by if it wasn't over $650 round trip in gas and oil change for the car. I'm not a fan of flying. Maybe if Trump gets elected.

I was just skimming an article that talked about the beneficial effects -- contra depression -- of just getting outside in nature. I was quick to believe it. That's why I insisted on living in a rural area. It really does help. It's a real break to get outside and reset everything. Moving your body in light exercise (walking or better) multiplies the effect. 

Try those things.

In the summer, I do a lot of outdoor stuff. It's too cold and gets dark too early in the winter.

With all the weirdos around, you should be thanking God that you don't have to deal with them.  Read a good book, listen to beautiful music, thank God that you're healthy, exercise either outside or indoors, write to a friend or relative or better yet - call them. Go to a concert, a movie, go to a park & people watch.  You might then be grateful you don't have to deal with all the nit-wits. Do volunteer work.  Guaranteed if you do these things you will soon be glad to have alone time & not complain.  It's your own fault if you feel lonely with so many things to do - & needs someone to do them.

Please post again next month after doing some of these things. I'd like to know what - if anything - helped.  I'm serious.   :incense:
