Yoga, meditation, cooking, reading, music, good TV including sports and news, friends are my partial list.
Love the Bukowski.
Cooking, for sure. It’s an excellent companion.
Good cheese, a book of NY Times crossword puzzles, going for a run, and my values.
I suppose I could live without cheese, but I wouldn’t want to.
Cheese is also on my list…what is it about cheese? (I’m from Wisconsin so I get it) Oh cheese!
About to dive into some blue cheese. Yum.
I must agree my dog has really helped blunt my loneliness. He has brought neighbors into my life. And it feels good to know someone is waiting for me to come home. :-). Also I am in several meetup groups so there is always some event on weekends or evenings to socialize
A few years ago when I moved into a new neighborhood, my dog was a great icebreaker. I know so many people thanks to her.
Words With Friends, Volunteering, Tango, English Soccer on the Telly on Weekend Mornings
Thanks, Lew. Volunteering is a perfect buffer in so many ways.
The kitty! I’ve been much less lonely since his arrival.
Pets are the absolute best. I can no longer imagine a life without them.
I love it when there are lists!
A bunch of bright colored flowers from the grocery store.
A trip to the library.
Something with gooey cheese on it.
Tree pose on my yoga mat…makes me feel alive!
I’m so glad to hear you still go to the library.

-twitter (I love my twitter friends!)
-an apartment that’s perfectly sized for one
