After 3 failed marriages, and 3 children I now have the luxury of being by myself. Living alone is freeing. I’m almost 73 years old, and am able to get through each day independently. I do have family members close by in case I need help.
That said, if I am having a hard day I can sit and take care of myself without feeling guilty about not being there for someone else…I do what I need to do for myself.
I have taken up a couple of hobbies I love. When I am involved with them time flies and my pain takes a back seat.
More importantly, I am a Christian and I have a Lord who takes very good care of me. I wait with quiet courage for Him to straighten my path. I keep my eyes on Him first and foremost! 🙏🏻

Preach girl, preach! I have the attached quote saved and what you said about being alone made me want to share it with you.

Congratulations on finding peace in solitaire, strength from faith, and comfort in knowing family is nearby.

Aren't hobbies the best distraction? Thanks for sharing that tip on positive distraction for pain management. I call it a "brain vacation"...getting so engrossed in a happy place that your brain temporarily escapes the thought of pain.
