Alone

"Nothing can bring you peace but yourself." Ralph Waldo Emerson

One of the things one must adjust to in widowhood is truly being alone.  During the holidays that was poignant for me -- there was no one to whom I was particularly special or whom I was especially remembering.  I still miss Dwane.  Yesterday I was going to buy something - because I knew it was something Dwane would like.  And then I remembered.  Oh, yes, no need to buy that.  My practice is to honor and get to know my aloneness.
