Milestones…

On 30 December 2022, I completed my first year of being completely alone in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

My parents are both gone, my sister lives in another state, and my son… The only remaining Lohman besides me… Moved away to Dallas Texas.

It sounds cliched, but it has been a very strange journey this past year.

I’m not sure that I could categorize my feelings this past year as being those of depression, because I am not a psychologist or a psychiatrist.  I have considered therapy in the past for other reasons, but barked at the idea because I had such a solid support structure around me

Events in life, especially in the last six months of 2022 have led me to understand that maybe that might be a good idea for me. I’m still thinking on that idea, and I have to keep it “on deck” with other events, presenting themselves in the true life fashion.

The long and short of that meaning that probably sometime this year I’m going to ask my doctor for a psychological referral. I’ll be officially in my mid 50s this year and may be a cleansing of the mind is a good idea moving forward.

Just wanted to put that out there
