I really like your outlook you have about your life and seeing your life as different. I am like you, not looking back and wishing my life was the same, because I accepted that years ago. I was a secretary and a homebody so I am not an outdoor person and I like being by myself. I realize I need my quiet time to relax to help get me through difficult times. Then my husband had heart surgery several years ago and just had a pacemaker put in this week. He is barely able to do anything and he used to be a Workaholic and it is hard for him to accept his loss. So now we have more in common and share our time with each other running errands or taking a nice drive together. I still have my Sweet Place I go to after he retires for the night and I enjoy that time for myself. I have to admit COVID slowed me down but my husband needs me now more than ever, and he is my priority.

Thank you, @janet7 I appreciate your kind words. I hope your husband's recovery from having his pacemaker will go smoothly for him ... his caregiver 🙂

Funny, I still have my personal "Sweet Place" that discovered during caregiving that I still find solace in. I even made a sign for it as you can see. Some places certainly can endure in our lives!

Strength, Courage, & Peace
