Being content when alone is something to celebrate especially. As you say, it doesn't mean we don't miss them when they aren't here, but it keeps us ready to welcome them when they are, and to be happy either way.Diane Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16902966404302255893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7112012300274809736.post-86995722453802435282016-07-16T07:38:01.210-05:002016-07-16T07:38:01.210-05:00You are right where I was a year ago.

You are so right, it isn't as bad as what I feared. I haven't actually experienced them both being completely gone yet, but like you, I've had a taste. Yay for you for finding the good in this shift and celebrating it.Lisa Keelerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05470821331643318304noreply@blogger.com
