I am a feral codger, in my seventh decade on this marvelous spinning planet called earth. As I have aged, I realized that along with diminishing sight, hearing, physical abilities, and medical issues these are not what is the most demanding of the adaptations I have and will continue to have as I grow riper.
Solitude is sometimes have always sought and cherish. It looks and feels different as I grow and evolve. It’s very different from loneliness which I occasionally experience. Glad you share the fruits of your solitude and life with us.
Agree it is difficult with everyone spread out but given the time we live in that distance is shortened by the technology that surrounds us. Distance doesn’t mean you aren’t thought of often cuz you are. I would ask of you - in your solitude - write me more emails of your memories and life so I can keep to share with my children and their children. This will help to keep those memories alive and keep u always closer in our hearts.
Solitude is so important to my frame of being. All my friends have passed and honestly, I never made friends easily. Maybe I’m just too selective, but at my age, I’ve seen it all and “drama” is not my thing and certainly don’t like those who pity themselves, complain and never do anything to change their lives. My family also are spread around the country, Oklahoma, Maine, Massachusetts and I’m in Rhode Island (close to Massachusetts). Much appreciation for sharing. Blessings to you and yours…
