So inspiring to read all this! I'll add in something a bit different. My favorite thing to do is hang with my friends, usually one on one, and talk about life and even gossip a tad. Everyone's hearing is getting worse, so I look for a quiet cafe. When young I could have a heart to heart in a crowded bar, but no longer! Sometimes I worry that I'm too preoccupied with myself--health worries, pain, and more. I never want to lose the ability to listen to others, and care about their concerns. And find out interesting news that expands my understanding of how to be a person.
