I have found so many of you here in homeschoolblogger that I would LOVE to have as my next door neighbor. My heart just aches and I am teary as I write this. I just feel such a lack in relationships in general in my life right now. Part of it is me and my own thoughts and feelings towards others. Part of it, I do sense, is God wanting me to be near Him more and not look to people so heavily. There is no lack, in reality, of people for me to reach out and call and touch. So what is it? Feeling misunderstood? I have chosen the homeschool path and that can bring feelings of not being understood totally. So that may be it, not feeling understood. And when I am reading into your life as a homeschool family, I feel that understanding, a connection.

Do any out there sense a difficulty in your region in relating to people? I have heard over and over that the county I live in is a "hard" county when it comes to relationships. (and that is true) Yet I have also heard from others that the Southern regions tend to be easier in that regard.

Let me know what you think......

I understand how you feel. I am fortunate enough to have many other homeschooling families in my area, so that's not the issue. What bothers me is that if I want a relationship with someone, I have to be the one to initiate it and keep things going. It would be refreshing for someone to reach out to me for a change. I suppose that sounds selfish, but there it is.

I feel the same way. I have found 2 friends that are terrific and they are far away. My neighbors on the other hand might as well be as far away as my friends are. Isn't that odd. I too have been wrestling with whether God is wanting me to learn from this or if I am reading too much into it.

Take Care and God Bless
