After I had been in my new home in Florida for a few months, one of my sisters came for a visit. My home has a split bedroom plan; master on one side and the other three bedrooms on the opposite.

I was in the shower when my sister walked in TOTALLY naked to ask me a question. I peaked my head out of the shower to answered her question thus, was able to see her lack of clothing. It was something that was not easily unseen.

I was shocked that she would walk through the entire house buck naked. I wouldn’t even go from my ensuite bathroom to my bedroom without either a towel or robe on, let alone the entire house.

I have lived alone for over 10 years. For a long time I had a cat, Bumper. I added a dog, Diva about 9 years ago. Bumper has passed on but I still have Ms Diva. I don’t know what I was worried about being naked for the 10 foot walk in front of Bumper or Diva. Who were they going to tell what I was wearing or not wearing?

It was just this year that, after placing my clothing on the bed, I began to run nude into the bedroom, and get dressed. Wait for it, I even went so far as to go all the way to the laundry room this week to get a pair of undies out of the dryer!

Habits are hard to break. Old thoughts and worries. My gosh, my husband passed 15 years ago and my mother 14 years ago.

Maybe its about time I loosen up . . .
