Hi Tad, I'm glad to hear you are settled in your new place. I think the period after you first get in can be difficult - particularly if you haven't lived alone for a while. But I found that does pass and a new 'normal' begins. I enjoy living alone now and rarely feel lonely...but I do make sure I have regular 'plans' and reach out to people to arrange things.

I think we all revisit our M's from time to time in our minds. They were such a significant part of our lives and we loved our spouses - and I understand what you are saying about that feeling like a different life now.

All of what you post suggests a need for a little more GALing....do you have some new plans in this area to fit with your new living arrangements?

smile xx
