lonely1 - I was going through an especially dark time and my counselor said, "I never tell you what to do. I'm suggesting that you go to the humane society and just look around. Just look at the cats, I know you like them."

I went to the "pound" and came home with two tiny kittens. A few weeks later I was laughing and telling the counselor about them. She said, "You've been coming here for almost a year and you rarely smile and I've never heard you laugh. Now you laugh so much and sound so good."

Those little fur balls changed my life. I'm no longer alone - I have them.

I think they would do the same for you.
