Recently I've had to deal with some medical issues. At the age of 75 my health seems to take top priority over everything else these days and I wonder what is next. It sure makes me look at each day with more appreciation for the simple things of life. Visiting the doctor's office and other medical facilities does enhance my social life these days since we are all living in some form of isolation because of the pandemic. Some of the best medicine is talking to another patient in the waiting room comparing notes on our past medical experiences and learning we are not alone in our fear of the medical procedure we about to incur. Talking to the medical staff and nurses can be encouraging also, especially with a little humor. One thing for sure in this world is that change is inevitable.
We get so consumed with the daily business of life, the news and the politics of the day that we become more isolated from the things that really matter in life--family, friends and sharing with one another.
