This morning it occurred to me that this is the first time
in my life that I have no responsibilities to anyone but me. I have the income to live a modest life without
having to work, the children are happily grown with their own children and then,
Skip is now gone…It is just me. No cooking, cleaning or laundry if I do not
want to, no answering to anyone else about where I am (although this one is
still not a big deal, I am almost always at home) and the list goes on and on.
This is a very new and sometimes frightening situation, one
that I had always dreamed of in earlier days of child-rearing, working and
managing a household. Now that I have this incredible freedom I honestly did not recognize it and am
learning how to enjoy it.
