I hug you with my heart as I just now type 'abroad' because since your Blog, it is you I think of when I hear the word and not the 'other' meaning. Would you like to visit a small Tudor with a warm guest room in Minneapolis while you decide on things??? Our home is very peaceful, you wouldn't have to talk at all, and absolutely to raking or digging involved. ;) Many hugs, you are in my daily thoughts.

Just not out in the middle of nowhere .. it is only good if you are with a partner or family to be so isolated.<br /><br />Gail, honey, I would give you a hug and we would drink tea and cry together if we could.<br />I don't know what any answers are , we will muddle through it all together.<br /><br />Personally, I stay out of rooms with other people, I am staying to myself, I go to a cafe once in a while for coffee just to be out in the world but I am not socializing with anyone .<br /><br />I am gifted with wonderful neighbors and my children. I think I will get a kitten or a puppy for the sound/look of another living creature in my silent world .. but there are few people that I want to be around these days so being alone in my sadness is ok.<br /><br />We will muddle through .. someone said you don't die of sadness. Surely if that were possible, I would have .Notes From ABroadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12202279303962539035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6405235946922980965.post-16282566708245996322013-12-15T12:41:32.935-05:002013-12-15T12:41:32.935-05:00So familiar.

There was a time when ...So familiar. The silence.<br /><br />There was a time when I found the constant almost-mindless chatter of the television an irritant. Now, I turn on the television just to hear other voices. I'm not even watching it!<br /><br />Answers. I have to do something to change this awful way of life....where are the answers? People keep telling me I will eventually find my way. How can that be when I'm alone in the middle of a room crowded with people?<br /><br />I had no idea it would be this way.<br /><br />Please keep posting. The way you express what you're going through is a tremendous help. If nothing else, to realize I'm not going crazy is a comfort.Gail, in northern Californianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6405235946922980965.post-87880512013283353742013-12-15T10:26:51.205-05:002013-12-15T10:26:51.205-05:00I can see you back in a city.

Close (15 mins) with good bus service to Manhatten and the charm of an English vibrant market town with art galleries, markets and lots going on. Safe and lovely town.Razmatazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02757164543598076420noreply@blogger.com
