I felt truly at ease with was my husband. Now that he is gone, I am happiest with my two dogs and two cats. For the first time in my life, I am able to enjoy true solitude. Each day is a treasure. I spent most of my working life around people that were ok but tiresome. People create too much drama and drama creates too many problems. Now I have serenity. I have my garden, my pond, my pets, my quietness. Along with my books and some coffee, I am a happy hermit. Thankfully, I have two lovely sisters who give me enough of their time to keep me from being a total recluse, oh, and DU.
