The definition of A Widow’s Mite is, “…a small monetary
contribution from someone who is poor.” While I am a widow, I won’t be doing a
monetary contribution here, rather a contribution that comes from my mind and
emotions and, hopefully, is more rich than poor.I began writing the various posts I hope to publish here a while after my husband passed away. My life has changed dramatically; and for the first time ever, I am living alone (except for the doggies) and on my own. For the first time, I am not answerable to anyone. As months, weeks and days passed, I found myself at the computer typing in random thoughts, ideas, problems, desires...pretty much anything that popped into my head and seemed relevant at the moment. I didn't write every single day and some days I wrote about more than one topic.
I had no intention of publishing these, but decided that with the beginning of the new year, I would post one of my writingings per day until the end of 2020 and see how where I was in the fall of 2019 and early 2020 would compare by the time I reach December 31, 2020. Come the beginning of 2121, will I have a new exciting life? Will I have traveled some? A lot? Not at all? Will I have made it through all the piles of crap my hoarder husband left behind? Will I have become richer or poorer? Will my circle of friends have grown larger or become more lean? Will there be other widows out there who will look forward to my posts and reach out to me? Will I actually make 365 posts without missing a day (as of this writing, I've only 21 prepared)?
So, without further ado, I wish you all a Happy New Year on this first day of 2020. I'm looking forward to everything this new year may offer me, and once I've shared how this began, I hope to share my new experiences...my Widow's Mite if you will.
