I've spent so little time alone in the last 44 years--oh lots of time when my husband was working away, but I still had the appendages--and they would hardly let me even go to the bathroom solo without hollering MOM.<BR/><BR/>Great posting.

I think the world needs both meat and potatoes *and* spice to keep it happily whirling, though! :-)Joyce DiPastenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16638031103659265422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723124266752750306.post-87269062730741443592007-11-26T22:12:00.000-07:002007-11-26T22:12:00.000-07:00I read with interest, and feel for your loneliness...I read with interest, and feel for your loneliness. I've felt alone in a crowd, especially during those couple of bouts of having my husband's military orders keep him away from me for a year at a time. Loneliness is not nearly as fun, but it is liveable.<BR/><BR/>I've probably had more friends who've moved away and lost contact than I have friends surrounding me now. I also think I know more people beneath headstones than inside houses. Sometimes it brings on nostalgia, but not real sadness. I love making new friends. I am ready to go most anywhere, any time. I study road maps and house plans just for the fun of it, I welcome change. I'm an odd ball.<BR/><BR/>I've heard that you scheduled people are the stalwarts that keep the world running, and I don't doubt it. You're the doers, the meat and potatoes of a farm dinner, while easily distracted, routine avoiders like me merely provide a bit of spice.Anna Arnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09882034663742937010noreply@blogger.com
