It's a lonely old life sometimes!

[triple5]

Been there, Tim, and know how easy it is to get stuck in a rut. My cure was travel. I've done it a few times now where I've been peed off with my surroundings and life in general so I just sold up and hit the road jack. People have said to me don't I get lonely travelling alone, but I've always found it relatively easy to make new friends along the way.

Look on the bright side - at least your young, free and single. You got nothing to tie you down. Believe me, life's even worse when you're stuck in a relationship you're not happy with and can't see a way out.

What's that saying? A change is as good as rest.

On the other hand you could extol Betsy's virtues to him, so he won't stay lonely for much longer....

Pretty much the same as my own situation. I've always been an independent traveller and even when I was married I had to travel alone to Europe for or 5 times a year for business meetings. Making new friends is easy, just open your mouth and talk, but more importantly, listen. We have one mouth and 2 ears for a very good reason.
So when my marriage hit the rocks, I decided to use my new found freedom to travel the world and go to all the places that would have been difficult to justify a solo trip when I was married.
I'm loving my life at the moment, I can go anywhere I like without having to justify it to anyone (except my bank balance).
Life's too short to feel sorry for yourself when thing's don't go your way. Make the most of every day, if you think positively you will attract good luck, but if you think negatively, all that ever happens to you is bad luck.

I could be really pee'd off about my flight if it gets cancelled tomorrow, but what's the point, it won't change anything. If it's cancelled it's cancelled and there's not much I can do about it. So why waste energy being upset about it if I can't change the outcome?

I guess there's a chance it may be cancelled with that ash cloud then? That's a pity, but like you say not much you can do, so no point getting stressed. At least we live in an age where there is such a thing as planes It'd take months on a boat Always try and look at the positives

Every trip to and from the phils I've had somebody to chat to beside me, makes the trip go a lot quicker. I've actually turned down trips with friends, as I prefer to travel alone. I don't want to be tied to somebody, doing everything together, I like to get out there and mix with the natives
