I’m retired, and mostly in solitude. I’m trying to get back into the habit of spending time with people because during the pandemic I’d pretty much stopped.
@bijouxbroussard Having just lost my second partner, I'm n the same boat. PM me if you would like to have lunch some time. Couple of old Oaklanders could kick around the good ol' days.
Well, back in the day as they would say, probably would have been on a beach somewhere, basking in the nude, reading. Been away from work for over 20 years now, good portion of family and friends have died, living alone so lots of solitude and alone time. So more likely to try to find a new culture to experience, but there probably would still be a beach.
I would go to the cabin…go fishing…go hiking in the mountains…read Silence: The Power of Quiet in a World Full of Noise again…journal my experiences and thoughts…and write a letter to each of my two kids.
