Welcome to the Misadventures of Widowhood blog!

Welcome to my World---Woman, widow, senior citizen seeking to live out my days with a sense of whimsy as I search for inner peace and friendships. Jeez, that sounds like a profile on a dating app and I have zero interest in them, having lost my soul mate of 42 years. Life was good until it wasn't when my husband had a massive stroke and I spent the next 12 1/2 years as his caregiver. This blog has documented the pain and heartache of loss, my dark humor, my sweetest memories and, yes, even my pity parties and finally, moving past it all. And now I’m ready for a new start, in a new location---a continuum care campus in West Michigan, U.S.A. Some people say I have a quirky sense of humor that shows up from time to time in this blog. Others say I make some keen observations about life and growing older. Stick around, read a while. I'm sure we'll have things in common. Your comments are welcome and encouraged. Jean

Wow, Did You See That?



My blog's view counter is up to 500,781! Holy Cow, when the heck did it turn the half million mark? I would have baked a cake and served coffee for the event if I'd seen that coming. Consider this a party. Thanks for coming! šŸ°

And I just noticed that Bloggers now has emojis šŸ‘ šŸ’“ When did that happen?

    I think the fact that you were too busy living to be focused on your blog stats is itself a cause for celebration! Congratulations on both.

    Congratulations!

    (I'd always wondered why so few people commented - though many visited - and had noticed the increase in commentators in recent months. Well deserved congratulations!)

      You've got one in your gadgets list. You just need to add it to your sidebar to make it show up.

      Thanks, everyone for the comments. Maybe I AM doing something right/worth the time it takes.
