To my best recollection, I think for the first time since 1989, I am home alone. Just me, no furry critters anywhere, and no partner. It's a quiet house, with my soft music in the background. Lorraine has slipped back to Stratford for a few days and that is okay. I need a few days alone to work my way through things in my own way. Not much to say tonight except, I'm doing okay.........
Alone time is beneficial to sorting one's thoughts clearly. And just, as the kids say, "chilling". No rush to do anything, no idle chat, just alone with one's heartbeat. It can do wonders, especially after devastating losses. Be well, my friend.

Love the Pheebs photo - such a cool pup! Time with oneself to process is always a good thing. And of course music always helps.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet photo of Miss Pheebs. Some alone time can be good, just be sure to take care of yourself.
ReplyDeleteI don't know about you, but my dogs "saved" me after Dave passed. They are so intuitive. One of my best decisions was to get a new friend for Lionel after I had to put Laser to sleep. My rescue Aussie is super-affectionate, & gives me something to hug (Lionel is notoriously averse to being a lap dog). Although dogs make it a little more difficult when it comes to traveling, for me, it's worth it. I'm sure you'll make the best decision for you. And sometimes you just need quiet time to think & reflect...

What a precious picture of Pheebs. ♥♥ I'm sure that alone time is very important, how else will you learn to enjoy the memory moments - just you. Take care.
ReplyDeleteSome dogs are so unique and special, missing them is every bit as hard as missing our loved ones gone ahead. I wonder if maybe Kelly was missing Pheebs and thus she left. I do believe we will be with at least some of our most wonderful pets again one day. We lost the best one we ever had, now 14 years ago. We never got another as our life changed and there was no reasonable way to take care of a dog. But we surely miss our beloved Ebony and speak often of her yet.
ReplyDeleteOh my. My heart hurts for you. You have endured tremendous personal losses and you so graciously continue to share your thoughts with all of us. Give yourself the gift of taking the time you need, and I hope you can find comfort in knowing that so many people truly care about you.
