It was hard saying goodbye to the handsome cub after such a pleasant visit. Two weeks: we probably won't have many opportunities like that.

I had come to the conclusion I was too hard to live with, and chose solitude partly in resignation to that assumption. I haven't spent so much time with another adult in years. I wasn't so irascible after all. I suppose I simply made bad choices of partners until now. Besides, living alone, I have learned some things about taking responsibility for my own problems. In two weeks I only got prickly once; we tabled the issue and resolved it so quickly I was filled with admiration for him—for us.

I always feel peaceful around Danny. We seem to like the same balance of separateness and togetherness. Perhaps I like more solitude, but with him working a regular schedule, I didn't have any trouble getting as much as I wanted.

This is new self-knowledge for me to ponder. Lately I have contemplated whether a roommate might be good for me. The past two weeks seemed to affirm the idea, as long as I choose carefully.

Guelph, of course, has even more snow than Toronto. I will post some of yesterday's snowstorm pictures shortly.

Also remember that living with me, Danny has had plenty of practice in handling "prickly" moody people.

Finding the good in ourselves is especially nice. It's great when people come into our lives who have a way of uncovering that and letting us feel happy with ourselves. Sounds like you have a guy who does that. Hugs.

I'm so glad that you have found a possible person to room with. It is very hard to live with another person that your involved with and deal with their idiocincracies and have them deal with yours.

Actually it isn't possible for Danny and I to live together, but if I can get along well enough with him, then there must be others I could live with.
