@robal19 So true about " the interaction with other people has been from strangers and walking away with the feeling of joy and hearing them, caring what they say and feeling a connection."
I am 83 this month, have a couple of health problems but feel well overall, live alone, no family here with only one sibling still living.... who is 2,000+ miles away...... and who prefers to text. She is busy with PT work, musical gig's (she's a singer) her home, her sweet fur baby and of course herself etc. etc.. Ohers I know, in my same city that I live in, for one reason or another...like their personal involvements or health, don't come round or call and this I know is common and I understand it being part of the world today.
SO..... we, I, find our way to keeping ourselves upbeat and content with how we plan, manage and enjoy this stage in life. We find joy in the small everyday things in life and hope any changes needed will evolve with time and the effort we put towards change.
