Alone or lonely?

Though I am a widow and an empty nester I can choose to be lonely or just alone.  I choose not to be lonely by being active to surround myself daily in the things and thoughts that keep me happy.

Dallas is one of the reasons I am not alone.  Being a Persian

her quiet presence reminds me there is someone else here.  She is

content to sleep near me or limit her times of exuberance to 

running up and down the hall way.  I'm so thankful

she is not a climber!!!

My Victorian/Garden room is another project I am working on to keep me busy being not lonely.  A former bedroom of one of my girls it is turning into my parlor!!  By just moving some of my houseplants into here has been a good start.  Also pulling out pictures stuck away in my bedroom closet and hanging them up can really bring life to the room also.

  

It's a work in progress and one I am totally enjoying.  I can go shopping at thrift stores and for very little make it a special, relaxing room to enjoy my sweet tea or coffee in.

My outside garden give me things also to do to keep me busy.  Though I have been fighting bunnies this past month I think I may be winning.  They have nearly destroyed all the marigolds.  I think one survived.  They chewed on my pretty pink mini rose.......waaaa!!  I did notice it is leaving out again......yay!!!!

Also my inside garden is a delight to me daily as I move throughout

my house.

 

 

 Also my daily time spent with the Lord helps me to keep balanced in my day to day life.  He is my strength and sure foundation. 

This is how my Victorian/Garden room looks currently.  
Though I know I am not through with it yet.

 So alone I may be but lonely I am not!!!
