I've been a widow over one and a half years. Others describe me as warm, deep, receptive, easy to be with, thoughtful in little ways, aware, nonconforming, spontaneous. By nature I am flexible and adaptable unless an important value is challenged and even then have no need to convince anyone else.
I don't need to work and have severely limited my private practice as a psychotherapist (archetypal/eclectic), but for the moment continue to find it a privilege to be with others is such an immediate, open and honest way, Also it offers extra insight into human nature, levels of consciousness, how we change, etc., interests I'm passionate about.
The practice though is pretty much one sided and while I have marvelous friends and family, I do miss and desire the intimacy and "presence" of an adventurous, intelligent and curious, good humored and caring companion.

Often too much. So many interests and distractions and perhaps not enough time to just Be, putter and appreciate each moment even though I am basically a highly appreciative person.

imaginative cooking, gardening, gifting as time allows. Also, my work and at one time painting, and crafting.
