One of life’s difficult situations is being alone and experiencing the pain of loneliness.It can be the outcome of a personal loss like the death of a loved one,the absence of purpose or a host of other challenging issues. We are all looking for something in our lives that makes the world a little better, and I would suggest that contacting those who are in the midst of difficulty is readily available to all of us. Is there someone you know that has been immersed in loss ,or who feels unimportant? A phone call,note,email or visit may be the only beacon that someone cares that they will experience. Those little gestures that they are not forgotten will have not only benefit for them but also for you. Reaching out has the blessing of the receiver and the giver and it is worth trying to think whose life you can touch today.
