Best: Freedom and peace of mind, no job to worry about bills etc,subsided rent, can do all the things that I never had time for.
Since I had lived this long I have many memories some committed to writing projects and Family history book.
Several ideas for a novel, still developing in the present. Engaged in online courses ( cheaper and faster Creative writing courses and lots more subjects.
I love learning new things.
I arrange my apartment as I like and surround myself with things, people and interest that uplift me.
I have choices this Fall to join the local Gym and I may do so,depending on my other projects ( timeline etc)
This is the best time of my life!
Worst:
Wish that I had this much freedom to do the things that I always wanted to do, but at an earlier age..probably would had travelled the World, as I love meeting people from a variety of cultures.( fascinating).
Even though subsidized rent etc, surrounded by residents some much older and grumpy and angry that they didn’t take care of their health as best as they should had and now are feeling the results of those choices.
Bickering , gossipy neighbours of which I keep my distance from their negativity, just politely Hi and bye sort of conversation..short conversations, nothing personal. but I handle that by doing several interesting long term projects that engages me daily. If I want a variety of entertaining conversation I just talk with the vast number of Tourists that travel though here
( much like as if I travelled to their country).
It keeps me sane, and I manage well.
My advice:
Get involved in things that interest you and sustains your interest long term.
Start journalling ( or a diary) as one never knows in your future it become a fascinating novel
for the general public or just your descendants, either way it could enrich an others life down
the line.
