I can't believe I forgot to mention my animals. I wish that I were still involved with them more than I am now. My kids have animals now. But I curl up with the dogs and cats, and they keep me warm and make me feel loved. The outdoor animals are still great to watch and hug and love. Birds too. My husband has set up a bird feeder and thistle sock, and he's getting lots of customers - mostly sparrows and finches. Watching them is calming.
