Loners

and am uncertain about it.

I enjoy my time in nature, with my animals, being active. I feel a lot of "shoulds" that I should interact more socially. Esp. in my senior years.

So I both feel a little withdrawn, but also enjoy it - more energizing, than socializing.

I am married to my husband of 42 years (!) and we do a lot of play together. He has more friends he spends time with regularly than me now - at 67, I still work, but alone, from a home office. We had one child - a daughter now 29. We 3 are really close! We are going together to The Chicks concert (formerly "Dixie" ) at an outdoor venue next month!

My preference in socializing is working on projects or a mission with others (eg., local Dem party) or exploring deeper issues, spiritually or in the arts - so long as the others are open-minded.

So, I'm still struggling with where I land with my sense of comfort and self-acceptance at being more of a loner!

Appreciate this space to share!!
