Thankful Thursdays...For Not Being Alone
Since this whole stay-at-home thing, I’ve been trying to contact my friends who live alone, especially those who don’t have family nearby. 
The other day I spoke to my good friend of over 40 years. She lives alone in a beautiful high rise condo in a prime area of Houston (near the Galleria). While she still works, up until two weeks ago, she’s been working from home.
It was her choice to go back into her office. She was getting tired of the same view and as she is a social person, she missed interacting with people other than on the phone or Zoom.
So my Thankful Thursday is that I not only have Larry who will listen to my incessant babbling but also family nearby who I can wave at from my car while in their drive-way when we drop off baked goods or dinner.
If you have a chance, pick up the phone and check in on someone you know who is on their own. Perhaps you can drop off something to them, even if you spend 10 minutes catching up in their driveway, it’s 10 minutes they’ll really appreciate.
