It is so dark here.  I have a furbaby too.  He is an older guy but he's doing pretty well.  I take care of him and he cheers me up.

3 comments (Saturday 12/31/22) Me, over tired physically, but sleep eludes me. Praying that it passes soon. And the holidays is not helping. Feeling angry, lonely and discouraged but know this will pass as soon as I get some zzzz's.

Right now life is a mixed bag of ups and downs..Some days are easier than others. Dealing with paper work trying to get on the right start of the new year has been a series of yo-yo events..One foot ahead two back..Dealing with gathering things that are no longer in use and sorting them out seems like an endless chore...Some days I'm energetic others I could give a dam..The emptiness of not having the companionship of my hubby is sometimes overwhelming especially at night ..Daytime is filled with noises via tv or phone calls or just the hum drum of the world outside my door..Somethings seem pointless to do but they have to get done regardless of how I feel that day..I'm lucky to have my adult children some who show up more than others..They have their own lives to live and deal with their problems..I try to keep busy with things that I enjoy doing like knitting and reading..There are other things that I will persue perhaps getting out more in my yard and  neighborhood  to explore things that I have overlooked......I look to the New Year with hope and anticipation that life will continue to involve new things and memories to be made with others...Gone but not forgotten is so true and a piece of my heart is still...Wishing all who have experience a loss of some kind the energy and hope to forge ahead in the new year...

I identify with what you're going through. The loss of a longtime partner is very different for me than previous loss of my sister, for instance, to ovarian cancer. Or the loss of parents, cousins, friends. What gets me through is prayer. I read today what someone said about prayer, and that it's prayer itself is the comfort. I tend to think it's the result of prayer that's the comfort. Except it's the process itself. The journey that we're on.  Take care.
