Thank you to the Two Writing Teachers for hosting
This year-long reason for writing, reading and sharing.
Thank you also to my dear friend, Tracey,
For her images of life.
Tracey often share memorable sunrises and sunsets on social media. These days, I (many of us) appreciate the reminder that nature provides peace and happiness even in tough times. But today I am sharing her image that captures the feelings we all have when we find ourselves alone and feeling lonely.
There is a gaga pit at Tracey's school where children shout "Ga" and throw balls at each other. Everyone is a friend in the pit. The other day a local moose, found himself alone in the pit while the children were inside doing reading, writing, and math! While moose are typically solitary animals, except during mating and raising calves, the look on his face as he stood in the empty pit all by himself is a reminder that even he (or she) could use friends every once in a while.
The look on his face-oh my!
Where did all the other moose go?
Why can't someone come out to play?
We all to be cared about.
We all need friends.

Anita, I love social media for the very same (and only) reason of staying connected with friends living afar. Friends I'd most likely lose touch with. It allows me to feel less like the moose penned in with loneliness. :)
We all need friends, especially when we feel lost. Hope that moose found his/hers. arjeha
I like the use of animals to capture the feelings that we should have for other humans. Sometimes we learn the best lessons through animals. Loneliness hurts.
