Thinking of you today.

My mother is pretty much a loner, has been that way for her entire adult life. My dad was very outgoing. After church, she would wait by the door, silent with us kids, for him to finish saying hello to every last person in the congregation.

almost 5 years after his death now, she is still pretty much a hermit. By her own choice.

She now lives minutes from me so I stop by every day, or very close to it.

Have not yet found a social outlet for her besides her meal delivery service for seniors.

Do this your own way. Some of us are like daisies, blooming in a clump and glowing together.




but you may be, like my mother and probably me too, more like a fine solitary tree in a meadow.
