WOW! You really got me thinking about alone time....

WOW! You really got me thinking about alone time. For a couple of years, not long ago, my retired hubby stayed at our sons home about 5 hour drive from our home now, he worked as a handy-man for everyone we once were neighbors with until our move 8 years ago, just to help make our ends meet, I was virtually alone for long periods of time, although we spoke every day, I was alone, I read a lot of books, watched sappy love movies stayed up WAY TO LONG becasue I hated the thought of closing my eyes at night without him at my side. I wasn't very productive. I hated it as a matter of fact...I am not a good alone person I have decided. I guess when you are married over 40 years you are very dependant on your "other half". I am happy to say....it has been a year since my alone time...and I don't look forward to it anytime in the future. I can see know what my mother talked about after my father passed away.
