My Solution to Being Lonely
07/24/2017

Dear "sister chick" Laura:

I can't call you "mother" because we are the same age! All the recent talk about loneliness made me want to share my solution. I have been retired for 1 year from driving a big rig with my husband of 20 years. He is not only my sweetie but my best friend. After being with him 24/7 in the truck for 18 years, I miss him terribly and worry about his safety when he is on the road.

I have found that the key to NOT being lonely is to stay very active. I volunteer at our church twice a week. I go to auctions and estate sales very regularly. I find interesting items which I sell on eBay. Not only is my business a nice supplement to our income but it has become lots of fun! I have met many interesting people at auctions and go out to lunch with them frequently. I now don't have time to be lonely!

Keep up the wonderful work you do. You are an inspiration to us all. God Bless and keep you healthy!

Kelly
