A little chat…

...can mean so incredibly much.. 💜 I've been divorced/single for over 7 years now. But, since Arwen's unfortunate passing, I am very much alone now. 😢 And while Arwen could never have a chat with me, she had her walks with me, she kept me busy with cuddles and games, and she filled our home with love. But now... It's just me... And it's gotten harder for me, at times, to get through the time properly... (if that makes any sense 🤔). I can do less at the gym, which I struggle with as it feels like I am not "doing my best" well enough. I tried the nightly walks on my own, but with the weather getting worse, and being on my own... It's just not right... I try to keep writing for my blog, and I try to be active on the FediVerse, but sometimes I feel like my words just don't really matter... […]

Yesterday I opened enrollment for the spring/summer pen pal season. Right out of the gate I met my sarcastic smartass equivalent. Tried closing registration because I knew I couldn’t do any better. But 3 more petitioned to be let in. Gonna be a fun summer. #penpals #wittybanter #onlinefriends
