When I'm overwhelmed with a problem that doesn't have an immediate solution, I pretend I'm putting it in a box, way up high in a closet. This symbolizes that for now, you're not going to worry or waste strength on it.

You can't solve this problem when you're sad or overwhelmed, so try putting it away for now. When you feel stronger, then you can open the 'problem box' again. Another tip I have is, to to join a photography club or a nature focused group - at least you would be around people who enjoy your interests and you may find someone too. Hang in there.

Not going to work Lynn . I put this box on the shelf for eight years and it's staying down , even if I'm staying down . I'm near the end anyway . I can feel it.
Thanks for your kindness and support . Always appreciated. Hugs
