Solitary!

I was awake alot during the night...thinking...The result of all that thought is that Ive cancelled a couple of events I was going to this morning. I really dont want to go! It was very kind of my old friends to include me but I think its time I started to be an old woman. I dont need to rush around joining in with various social events...I feel the time is coming when I just need to be quiet, on my own.... I am used to being on my own...its not the problem thst several people assume it to be. Here in my house and garden I have everything I need....my groceries come to me...there is no need to go out! I used to enjoy walking around the village chatting to people but now I am better alone...I have everything I need either here or coming.. I am aware that this plan has dangers but I really dont need a social life any more...I am happiest when no one is coming...It doesnt mean I have become old...I think the reverse of that is true...I just dont need or want people complicating my living arrangements and they do try! I still enjoy talking to people...this morning I chatted to a visitor next door for a while...but human contact can be achieved in different ways these days..not least on line....I am aware by the drop in temperature that Autumn has started so that winter cant be far away! So be it...I can still do this!
