I have had eight years of living in places that I was not happy at after living in a log cabin for twenty five years. I have four moves in that time frame.
I have so hated living alone until recently....I am really starting to enjoy the benefits of living alone and this is so great for me at this time in my life.
I wanted to know if any of you who do live alone, enjoy your experience and can list what are the benefits to you living alone as opposed to feeling sad and depressed all of the time while living alone.
For the last two years it has been so hard on me to live alone. The holidays have been sheer hell of feeling crushing loneliness and despair. Granted my husband died four years ago and I have been missing him terribly.
I am going to list what the benefits of living alone are for me:
No one around to tell me all of the things I am doing wrong anymore.
I can do whatever I want here now without anyone giving me a hard time about it.
Freedom to come and go as I please without having my plans disrupted by family members dysfunction.
I am cooking again and just got a new cookbook and am really excited about cooking with the recipes in it.
I have started to bake again.
My self discipline has been improving a lot.
I can sleep when ever I want either late or early.
I am renewing lost passions like gardening again.
I am becoming more creative again.
I am enjoying my own company for the first time in my life.
I am organizing my home better which has become fun.
I am enjoying having small goals to reach each day now.
I am reading again and listening to music again.
I am not watching tv like all of the time anymore.
Balance is slowly coming into my life.
I have old interests slowly coming back into my life.
For the first time since my husband died, I am planning on decorating for the holidays.
Feeling excited about the holidays coming up, this is brand new.
Looking at the benefits of winter time, for the first time ever.
Okay I have shared mine. If any of you are enjoying living alone, will you please share here what things you love about living alone. Like I said this is all brand new realizations for me and I would love to have others ideas and things that they love. Thank you so much
