My simple happiness came over the weekend. My husband and I don't get much company haven't for yrs. Our daughter lives 2 thousand miles away and hasn't been home in 13 yrs she refuses to fly because of anxiety so we every few yrs ago to see her and her family. Well this weekend my happiness came from company, First it was my neighbor down the block who had time to stop in then after he left another friend stopped by because she was in the area visiting her son and hung out with us until her son got home from work. Then next up my niece and nephew who I rarely get to see they have their own lives and jobs and kids and are busy and also live pretty far from us. Something as simple as having company come to visit is pure pleasure for us since we both have health issues that keep us from going to visit others that tend to live far. Its great when your a senior and get to spend time with much younger people it was so much fun lots of talking and laughing does wonders for ones mental health. If you are blessed with family that visits you trust me you are so very lucky or friends and neighbors that stop in. You don't know how lonely it can get when you feel forgotten as your up their in age.

How wonderful!! 😍

I, like you, very much appreciate the extraordinarily rare visits from humans.

A neighborhood cat will stop by and sit at my feet as I read on the porch and I feel so...connected to a bigger world!
