Are you alright?
I'm pretty old. But I've maintained a social circle across a broad range of ages, from college students through WWII vets. I've experienced my fair share of losses, but I don't dwell on the lost. Rather I focus on those that are still with us and the interests we share. It's a state of mind that helps you navigate your retirement years. You've left the workforce, where many of the younger folks in your life were, and now you're spending a lot of time with people who don't have much time. Broaden your experience, seek out a new crowd, find ways to find purpose and surround yourself with a new crowd that share your vision. |

Annual electronic address book maintenance is taking more effort with each passing year.
Make each day count.

My favourite Barista (age - late 20s maybe) has just left to become a Funeral Director.
I said "I hope I don't ever see you again" She said "The feeling is mutual!"

When you catch yourself thinking things like, 'That's a nice box. Better hold on to that one.'

That an ominous start to this thread. I'd say losing hair where I want it and growing it in spots that I don't.

Yeh, my thoughts exactly. I was expecting some kind of "you miiight be a redneck iiif..." (Jeff Foxworthy) kind of joke, not this morbidity. Please lean on your social circle & family to assist in alleviating your woes.
