It's the little things, I think, that we take for granted which make us alive...
For me, feeling alive has alot to do with feeling connected to other people. I like my alone time, but I also like it to be a choice. I started seeing Jim last June - because he lives so far away, we see each other only a couple of times each month. But it's made a difference - I know he's out there, we talk on the phone most evenings, and I have weekends with him to look forward to. I'm less hermit-y than I was this time last year. Which is a good thing.
LJ helps too, actually. My health isn't what it used to be, so quiet evenings/weekends at home are sometimes a necessity. LJ means that friends (and the occasional bit of smut) are only a keyboard away. :-)
