Wow! What a beautiful collection of stories! So inspiring, and so well written. Thank you for this!

I have mobility challenges due to a bad leg injury 2 years ago and I am mostly alone in my home. But I’m happy this way. I have little interest in seeing people in person and keep hearing about how seniors don’t do well with loneliness and need a social circle.

But I don’t feel lovely. I stay busy with creative projects and have no interest in socializing.

I do love our Medium community plus Zoom and phone chats with dear friends around the world. I get more than enough socializing in these ways and trust that being physically alone so much isn’t harmful to me because I quite prefer it.


And I feel like a kid. I can’t believe I’m 66. 😵‍💫🫣🙈 Not that this is old, but I honestly don’t see myself as anywhere near this age. I’m goofy and playful and have a great sense of humour. A big kid. 🤪

I gather from your story that attitude helps so I should be okay! 🤗
