Widowed in 2010. I’m very glad to put that year behind me. There’s no manual for how to deal with all the changes, though, so I’m muddling through being on my own for the first time in over a decade.
It’s all the little things… who to tell that I saw the lake steaming fog that one morning, watched a movie that made me think, gripe about a difficult customer at work. Talking to my dogs just isn’t quite the same.
The dogs… oh, they really have saved me. Furry unconditional love is a very good salve for a lonely heart. And having to care for something beyond yourself is always a good motivation for getting out of bed.
What else helps? Hmm… faith, friends, and knitting. Yep, I’m a knitter. Not particularly fast, but I do enjoy a variety of projects. I should cast on a new project today, New Year’s Day is a good time to start things.
