[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 123277, member: 2211"] {{Janet}} Yes to everything you said! My H is also an early to bed kind of guy and I often find myself sitting up alone and sometimes bored. I don't have anyone I can really call later in the evening and during the day I am working, so although I can talk with my co-workers, we're usually only discussing topical things. I have found solace in reading, non-stop. I read all sorts of things, not just for entertainment. I read books that will help with my self development. And not because I'm addicted to self help books, but because there are a lot of good books out there that help us become stronger, more intutitive, and insightful about who we are, what we're doing here and how we can uplift ourselves to feeling content and knowing that we have purpose. So, I guess I read some things on how to be more in tune with my needs and my spirituality. Do you have a library that you can visit? I've met a few interesting people just being at the library. Sometimes we click, other times it's just nice to share a conversation with a stranger and then leave it behind because we don't truly click. Can you take a class in something that you've always been interested in such as painting, or knitting, or perhaps a town sponsored sport such as tennis/volleyball?
