Realization

Today has been a "live my life" day in general. I've sorted and tried to identify rocks (mineral specimens), blogged, emailed, put things away, went to the flea market to collect things left by another vendor in hopes of being able to sell or use them (with Jeremy's help) and read a while. 
I got four boxes of the things I'd ordered for the store and supplies for me. I even have looked through some of them. There is a lot of work to do there.
One thing came to me today. I'm not quite sure how I feel about it. I'm 61 years old and with the exception of my arthritis and the nerve damage in functional joints like hands, wrists, knees and feet I am in excellent health. I do need to exercise more and I'm working on that (Its a slow, slow path back to physical fitness).  The realization is that I might just live as long after JD as I lived with him. It could easily happen that I reach 90 or nearly so. That's a lot of years stretching out in front of me.
For now I will live in the now with some work on the immediate future. It is too much to contemplate almost three decades without him.
