Hi to everyone,

I'm new. I'm hoping this is the right place to post this. If not just tell me where. Thanks. I am 63, gay, recently widowed. I was married to a very loving and humble man for 41 years. Still mourning and have a really difficult time. I am joining tonight because....I don't know why. I've lurked here for so many years. Tonight when I came to check things out, it said "DU Members only", so, here I am.

I'm not great with computers so be patient, please. Thank you. I would like to add just a couple of things so you know I'm not a fake or poser. I love Salmon Enchanted Evening Sunday Post (my favorite part of DU), BoZarts pics, Elleng's pics, and many other folks on here that I cannot think of right now because I'm a little nervous and intimidated. I am usually outspoken but being recently widowed my world is not the same and I am trying to find myself again, so I may just lurk some more. It's nice to finally feel apart of the DU family. Thank you again!

EDIT:: WOW! I never imagined such a huge welcoming! THANK YOU ALL! It's kind of like meeting a rock star when I see names that I've only followed when I lurked and you're speaking directly to me! That's really nice! I hope to be a thoughtful contributor but for now I will mostly read and hang out. I'm still trying to pull myself together after the loss of my husband so I'm feeling very lost and uncertain. Again, THANK YOU ALL!
