Morning, Ksquared ...
So the chimney heat is gone with the wind, so to speak. Makes sense when the wind is Arctic, and explains why we never see a chimney on an igloo? <g>
Life can indeed become overwhelming at times. Going solo, as we do, has its many advantages but can be short on support in difficult times when we're not part of a comfortable group. I have a semblance of that at my church which has given me a number of friends and which provides a place for spiritual connection. Whatever your situation is, I know that you have the right stuff to deal with it and see your way through.
Keep in touch.
