So, I was not at member when you first posted but, sorry about the divorce. As you see, divorce can be put into the past, been there, and you have found some structure in your life, it appears. I'm with Moon, would love to see pics.
As you mention, solitary work can have a certain emptiness. I find it less "inviting" to push yourself for "getting to it" and/or trying new things when you have no one to share the experience with. But, this forum does help with that to a degree. Still not like having someone to discuss your plans for the day, or accomplishments of the day, at breakfast/dinner. AND when I garden, I much prefer someone there to work alongside.
Hope you find time to share with us.
