Awesome reminders, Tara. I don’t live alone but when I did post divorce I enjoyed many of these things. It’s a time to get back to your own taste, needs and wants without considering your husband’s for a change. 😉

It’s been 10 weeks and I’m already quite happy living alone. While I don’t expect to live the rest of my life lonely, it’s been kind of addictive.
