What is a day in the life of an older/elderly person living alone at home?

Routine is important in my life.

I get up at the same time, I read the news on my computer and I look at Quora.

My cat demands breakfast at 7:00 AM sharp. He only eats food if it’s in the middle of the bowl. Food on the side of the bowl doesn’t exist. I stir his food at least twice during every meal.

Exercise is next. I work out in any weather except snow /ice. I fall enough without snow. Every person who runs /walks needs to stretch. How many know HOW to stretch?

Solitude is glorious. I sit and stare at beauty outside my window. I watch a funny squirrel. I’ve seen deer, and a bear. I love saying hi to husband and wife ducks swimming on the pond near me.

Volunteering is vital. I get far more from people in need than they get from me.

My last chapter of life is ending. I enjoy every moment. Every sunrise,sunset, rain is beautiful.

I smile and laugh with people in stores. I see friends.

I live alone but I’m never by myself. Memories and my cat live with me.

I hope for one more day of life.

“A lonely day is God's way of saying that he wants to spend some quality time with you.”
