It\u2019s been some time since I last wrote in here. Life\u2019s been busy but really good. It\u2019s amazing what living simply and simply living can do for oneself. No stress. No hassle. No having to go to family gatherings and no doing things I don\u2019t want to do with people I don\u2019t want to do them with. No putting up with being the one everyone turns to but when you need someone nobody is there. It\u2019s great! Seriously great.  No feeling stressed on the way home wondering what I\u2019ll walk into or what I\u2019ll have to deal with let alone what we will be eating and never knowing what time we will be eating.  It\u2019s all sorted that morning and the week ahead. It\u2019s often cooking while we are at work. We come home, relaxed, and it\u2019s a joy. Truly a joy. No verbal abuse. No emotional abuse or turmoil. No cold shoulder treatment. No wondering what has happened or what\u2019s gone on while I\u2019ve been at work or playing guessing games when I get in.  Nope. Simply the cats there please to see us, and wanting feeding obviously. Life is a joy. Simply a joy.  I\u2019m not sure I\u2019ll ever be in a relationship again. I\u2019ve let so much go over the last few years. It\u2019s like shedding skins.  Life is great. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wow.
