So true for me. . . . .

This quote is on my sister's blog and each time I read it I am reminded of how true it is for me. I think it's why working (even just a little bit) has been so good for me. . . . .

"I was lonely, dead lonely. And I was to find out then, as I found out so many times, over and over again, that women especially are social beings, who are not content with just husband and family, but must have a community, a group, an exchange with others. A child is not enough. A husband and children, no matter how busy one may be kept by them, are not enough. Young and old, even in the busiest years of our lives, we women especially are victims of the long loneliness." ~Dorothy Day
