Adapting

I volunteer at a small zoo giving tours for children. We walk together looking at the animals looking back at us. Our program highlights adaptation, habitat and social community. We are mammals sharing many of the same skills that allow us to survive in our environment and social community – adaptation being a biggie. That’s where I’m at adapting to being a single, thinking like a single, and the list goes on. Do I like it? No, but I think I’m getting better at it, unwilling but mandatory to honoring Lee’s life not his passing. Much like the monkeys at the zoo who use their tails for balance I also use physical traits to balance my singleness. Sewing has now become another fulfilling activity that keeps me feeling productive, expands and provides, the joy in giving!

I lost my best friend in October 2017 at 67 retirement for a year and half. We were married for 41 years together for 44. I very active walk, swim, volunteer for 2 organizations. I have 2 adult children and a a 14 dog a lab. On most days I'm ok but others my grief takes over. Being a widow is lonely and much harder than I ever imagined. I hope that my blog will help others that have been left behind. View all posts by plantgirl42
