Hello. Indeed, some of those alone / lonely days as empty nesters can be challenging. And I definitely get how the quiet can sometimes feel empty or lacking (which is probably why I listen to podcasts a lot when I’m home alone). Hey, if you get around to painting for fun, I’d be curious to know how that goes. I’ve been thinking about trying to learn lettering again for fun, or just do something with the old colored pencils and markers here in my house.
That sounds lovely Lea! I have lots of material to paint and draw with, but it’s not out in the open, so I tend to either avoid taking it all out for lack of purpose, or O have days When I do paint, but then judge my efforts too harshly 😜 - working on it though! I also love listening to podcasts and watching documentaries. Plenty to do, but I sometimes miss the human connection or maybe it’s the family time that I miss on Sunday’s in particular. X
Totally on the same page except I have gotten rid of the need to be useful! I'm plenty useful every day and have been for years!
So if you don't know what to paint, collage! If your mind needs 'useful' go for a walk (it's fitness !)
And yes, write, write, write!
