Truest, AA. I am also not intended for a dual existence. Alone does not equate to lonely...not by a long shot. I've been married many times but am most comfortable, and happy, when I am living a solo existence.And good morning everybody. Just enjoying a cup of coffee and goofing off a bit waiting to leave for church. Hard to believe it is Palm Sunday already and Easter next Sunday. There will be a procession with the little kids waving their palm branches winding all through the church. Even now all these decades later, I remember how much fun it was as a kid to do that.
We could see our first 80 degree temps of the season today. We'll see how it goes. This time of year it is always tough to know when to shut down the furnace and fire up the swamp cooler. It still gets down into the low 40's at night.
Those nights sound wonderful. When living in the foothills of the Sierras of northern CA, the summertime temps would be around 80 and fall dramatically at night. I loved those nights. Would jump in the hot tub on the deck and gaze at the stars. Had a handsome and beloved hubby to keep me company. ( most times alone though )![]()
Sorry, AA. You seem like a wonderful lady and person and deserve someone wonderful to spend your life with.
Oh ChrisL, my sweetness, I do have someone to spend my happy and contented life with and that is myself. The only times I have ever been lonely in life were when I was married. I was born to be independent but had to learn that the hard way. I tried the other ways that involved compromise and co-dependency and it didn't suit me. Now I am 100%.
This way, a great cat and a sweetie, who doesn't live close enough to me, to want to see me at his convenience, putting me in a position to go negative on him, makes for a very happy lifestyle. People tell me, you are so lucky and I tell them I design my life and to me, luck is the residue of design.
I have found, for the most part, people do what they love to do.![]()
