I would keep it or share it with a friend. You’re right, it is beautiful.

Moe said when talking about being single and starting up his homestead, “1+1>2”. He is right. Two working TOGETHER for a common goal can achieve so much more than one.
When you lose a loved one, through death, abuse, infidel whatever the reason, it’s very difficult to get passed the comparison game. Red flags wave vastly across conversations.
It’s important that you trust your instincts. It’s also important to be open to new possibilities.
I’m somewhat a recluse. When I leave my job, my favorite place to be is at home. I’ve finally figured out “Mr. Right For Me” isn’t just going to knock on my door promising to improve my life by being a part of that “1+1>2” scenario.
Is there a point to this submission? Not particularly. Me just thinking among friends.
I just keep on trying to live a life done free. Maybe someday….

Spoke with eaglelovertx. She is fine but her neighborhood took a big hit.

I’m make a list of things that need to get done. I’m sure many of you do the same. The weather was nice yesterday so I prepared my outbuildings for installing rain catchment systems. My parents live with me and had stuff barricading the walls and nailed “pretties” everywhere. I tightened some of the boards as the nails had worked out. (Use screws for everything). It was not strenuous thank goodness but it felt good to draw a line through this to do.
I also repaired my deck floor.
I’m feeling accomplished one strike-through at a time.😁
It’s hard sometimes being alone and living this life so give yourselves credit in your accomplishments.

Still praying. How’s he doing?

Thanks. I’m hoping my version will be just as good as the store bought.

The Wildbrine brand is very good. My favorite time to eat it is after being in the yard sweating and tired. It’s so refreshing and a great probiotic.

Thank you. I hope to see you there.

A very valid point. I was fearful to bring a man into my home as I had two small children. You’re smart to protect your girls. That’s what a daddy (and momma) are supposed to do.

You seem to have found peace in being single, but I would challenge that getting ‘things done easier and faster” is really a statement of “I give up trying to work with someone else.” I don’t mean this as an attack on you so please don’t misunderstand. I’ve dated too and found that we lacked compatibility and so it was easier to move away from that relationship than to continue to pretend all was well. Does it mean that I’m unwilling to work on another relationship? I think not but I will continue to listen to my instincts and hold my standards/self respect.

Yes, time is a huge factor in our aloneness. I feel like if it were truly important to us to find a companion, a help mate if you will, that we would invest more time into seeking out that someone special but what gets sacrificed in the meantime?
I think we need to be honest with ourselves on what we are actually looking for in a companion too. Not just someone who can cook, clean, build a (fill in the blanks) but can carry a conversation, challenge us to be a better person, and continue to grow with in our older years. This gets hard because, we get set in our ways especially the longer we are alone.
I had a husband once who said, “[he] did not need me.” This was so hurtful to me at the time because I’m a caregiver by nature and I needed to be needed. The thing I missed was that he “wanted” me otherwise he wouldn’t have been there. Well, hurt turned into loneliness, that turned into depression that resulted in a divorce.
Sometimes, we get in our own way…unable to take a step back and evaluate the magnitude or miniscule of the situation before spewing words of “more hurt” which leads to more aloneness.

Your point is not lost on me but I wanted to make a suggestion…. If you have jars stored up doing nothing, fill them with water. Two benefits: 1) you will have some drinking water available if needed; 2) you can use that stored water to fill your pressure cooker or water bather or rehydrating your freeze dried foods.

Love it

Dang girl. I know it’s not helpful but you being a southern girl too, will understand when I say, “Bless your heart”. I’ve read some of your other posts and you are awesome. I hope you are taking some “much needed” rest.
May all your hard work in 2022 be blessings in 2023.

Ordered a few today. Thank you!
