Lonely

I am 50 years old and I have never lived by myself. Typing that sentence makes me feel rather odd. Tommy moved to Columbus in February 2009. Thomas will be in his third year at Missouri State this fall and is doing an internship in Augusta this summer. Naphtali moved to St. Louis last weekend. And, I am by myself in Kansas City.

Nothing feels permanent about my life. Can I find a job in Columbus someday? Can we sell this house in Kansas City someday? How long do I wait or how long should I wait? What does it look like for me to live by myself and be married and have adult children in other cities?

More questions than answers obviously. Maybe now is the time to blog. About this change in my life. About the wonderful books I read. About what I learn about life & reading. We shall see if I can be regular about posting.
