Today is the first day of my new blog. I am starting this blog more as a journal or a chronicle of my musings as a 59 year old, divorced (single) woman and a way to connect with others. I follow many bloggers and figure it will be easier to connect if I can also share my story with them as they have with me and their other followers.
I find myself searching for blogs by other women in the same position I am - growing old alone but loving the freedom, exploring ways to live well on a small income and navigating this tricky new stage of life. I look forward to sharing ideas with others.
I will be telling my story a little at a time but wanted to get it started with a short post today.
Happy 1st Post to me!!!
Welcome to the world of blogging! I'm honored to be your first comment on your first post :)
ReplyDeleteAlthough I'm not single, we have a few things in common so I'm happy to meet you and wish you many years of success.
Thanks you so much for being the very first comment on the very first post! I briefly checked out your blog and can't wait until I can sit down and read more about your beautiful life in the Berkshires. Your gardens look amazing!

ReplyDeleteWelcome to blog world! I love your blog list on the left.. it's so funny that I also follow many of those blogs! We seem to have alot in common. I'm not single, but sometimes I feel like it... and sometimes wish I was... but as they say "be careful what you wish for".... right? I try to make do with the way things are in the present moment. Looking forward to all of your posts! Hugs.. Marilyn
ReplyDeleteYour comment about sometimes wishing you were single cracked me up! Everyone I know who is married says the same thing! Being married is HARD! I came close to getting married again a couple of years ago but knew in my heart it wouldn't be right. I am actually still very good friends with my ex husband and we spend a lot of time together with our granddaughter and he helps me around my house with some fix it jobs cause I am not at all handy. At this point I do not see myself getting married again - I am very content. Thanks for posting on my first post!!!
DeleteThat is so funny and I'm sure true! Being married IS VERY HARD... and I think most women wish quite often, that they were single! This marriage was when I was 56 and I wasn't smart enough, like you were, to not go through with it! My ex and I too have remained friends for 25 years since our divorce (my kdis' dad) and he has helped me very much through the years with many things. I should have just left well enough alone and kept it that way... as he was a great helper and handyman! :-) I never did seem to learn from my past mistakes though!
