Yesterday I woke up also early, around at 1 am and then I listened to some Mozart concertos and wrote down my notebook entries, today I am listening to …
I’m the same way. I used to be a party animal in my young years, going out to the clubs every single weekend for years. Not anymore. Now, I stay home everyday. Rarely venturing outside of my assisted living facility except to go to an occasional Dr.'s visit. I don’t even go shopping anymore. I order my groceries over the phone and order everything else online. I have no penchant to go anywhere because mass services are held right here in the facility where I live. And they bring entertainment to us every week. We even have a weekly Friday afternoon Happy Hour party here in this facility. We have a couple of beauty shops here and the local bank comes to us. A manicurist/pedicurist comes here too. We even get visits from a podiatrist. We have a seamstress that comes to our facility too. If I wanted to, I could play games like Bingo and other games, but I don’t want to. I could even take trips to the Casino’s. But, I don’t want to do that either. There are facility busses that take us to the grocery stores and to Walmart and to the shopping malls. But, I don’t go. For the most part, I like to stay cooped up in my apartment except to go down to the dining room for breakfast and dinner. I also go to the chapel for Rosary every day and to mass on Saturday mornings. I’m quite happy here.

My life is quite different from yours, I am also quite happy, I have lived alone for many years, but I like outdoor activities such as bicycle riding, visiting flea markets, taking pictures and so on. My hospital including the psych clinic is just 300 meters from my place. I shall be 50 in this year and I am trying to find a birthday present for myself.

Nothing wrong with different. As long as it brings happiness.

I do not party or drink anymore but I do go eat out at restaurants. My wife doesn’t like to go out to eat so I go by myself. Sometimes I sit at the bar if it’s not too crowded.
I did the club scene in my 20’s and 30’s, but now in my 50’s I stay home.

Nothing wrong with that. When I was younger, I never had many friends. Sometimes, I had no friends. So, I always went out and did things by myself. Went to movies, rock concerts, operas, restaurants, festivals, jazz concerts, art museums, art festivals, etc… all by myself. I was always depressed, so, I always felt sorry for myself doing things alone most of my life. That is, until now. Now, I do everything by myself and I have learned to prefer it that way. I no longer get depressed over my solitude. I relish it. I live alone in my apartment and I would have it no other way today. The difference between then and now is that now, I have God in my life. Before, I was all alone, without God. Today, God is my ever present friend, Lord and companion who is always at my side, loving, and encouraging me. I couldn’t imagine being without God today.
