I have thought about adding a pet but at 81 yrs old what do I do with it if I have to go somewhere like long trip, hospital etc so canceled that idea. I recently have taken up repainting small yard ornaments and hope it might progress to painting art inside. Got a bicycle yesterday that I should be able to ride in out small community with mild winters.
Talking to others that have lost loved ones many years ago. They say the sorrow never goes away and to keep doing things to keep busy even if it is calling someone on the phone.
