And I had a really nifty setup once that put a light deep in the house on a remote, so I could pick it up as I walked in and have light all the way across the room.<br /><br />I also make home by borrowing married friends and their kids. :-)<br /><br />Nothing deeper pgeppshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00778075334003141988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1107084270133664269.post-54216538762037740722010-10-12T00:20:14.334-05:002010-10-12T00:20:14.334-05:00This makes me want to time travel back to those da...This makes me want to time travel back to those days and surprise you by being home before you a couple of nights during that semester...waiting there on your doorstep, so you didn't have to enter the darkness alone.<br /><br />I think that's it, really.

It's just being alone in the dark that hurts so much.<br /><br />I only lived on my own for one Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10927563710112368891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1107084270133664269.post-9408758850388625522010-10-11T19:25:01.340-05:002010-10-11T19:25:01.340-05:00Bethany,

I strongly believe it takes a crisis in the life of a person who grows up in a healthy, loving, Christian home to recognize her need for that relationship. Somehow I knew that crisis would occur, but I couldn't imagine what it would be.

I married when I was a youngster, so my time living alone has not been extensive-- mainly happened when the air force called Scott away occasionally. I agree about the power of light.

I often took to stovetop potpourri to make my barren apartments feel more like home - apples and oranges with copious amounts of cinnamon and cloves simmering away.
