I just can't imagine being single - no thanks. We each have our own interests to keep our minds busy and shared interests that keep us talking. Not perfect - but lovely.

But I also LOVE being alone.... and sometimes think back to my single years, when I had my own apartment, as my glory days. :)Marketing Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01092466674384204546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8529581759085389615.post-16131230242669911732009-10-13T02:49:41.793-07:002009-10-13T02:49:41.793-07:00Wow, that was a very well thought out post with lo...Wow, that was a very well thought out post with lots of food for thought.

I never really thought about solitude vs. loneliness before. It's interesting about the different paths people's lives take - I think that what both you did and what your friend is doing takes a lot of bravery. I know that might seem like a strange thing to say, but it's true.Lisa in Ozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00169563582205982963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8529581759085389615.post-2915552632770142902009-09-23T09:07:50.484-07:002009-09-23T09:07:50.484-07:00This is a great post, and an interesting look at s...This is a great post, and an interesting look at single life from two different perspectives.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10325609744026316727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8529581759085389615.post-26939709682573073692009-09-13T17:39:08.499-07:002009-09-13T17:39:08.499-07:00"Decided to keep him".

So now, divorced, alone (but not totally "alone" since my daughter, her husband, their children live with me), I am finally relatively content and accepting of what has offered in the past and still holds for me. It took me a long, long time though to grasp the concept that I didn't need to have a man by my side, be in any old kind of relationship -good, bad or indifferent -just to be in a relationship, ya know. Alcohol played a big role in my life for many years -from an alcoholic husband, no ex for the past 29 years -and today, I think what on earth did I see that was so great about always stopping for a couple of drinks? (Wish my son could grasp that concept but that's his problem, not mine and I have to walk away from not making it my problem too.) But anyway, for the first time in my life, I am probably as content as I will ever be -happy to not have to worry about a whole raft of junky things that really don't mean anything in the overall scheme of things. I do things now that I LIKE to do -whether it be reading, crafting, sleeping, cooking, participating in church groups/activities as I see fit. But it did take me a long time to reach this point -a lot of tears and aggravation along the way too, but it was worth it in the end.Jenihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16425701332785470116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8529581759085389615.post-27011304098242814792009-09-11T07:29:31.978-07:002009-09-11T07:29:31.978-07:00You always give food for thought.
