We are all going to die.

“It is difficult to provide an exact percentage of people who die alone, as it can vary depending on factors such as age, location, and overall health. However, studies have found that a significant number of older adults, particularly those who are socially isolated, may die alone. For example, a study conducted in the United Kingdom found that around 20% of deaths among older adults occurred in people who lived alone.”

Definitely a Bot answer.

Come with me on a journey! A journey to October 20, 2023.

I sit in my Dodeka lounge chair with heated seats on my deck and look to the east. I see a beautiful azure sky, not a cloud in sight and several peaks of the Rocky Mountains. The air is a little crisp but I have on my favourite golden yellow wool sweater and black Merino wool pants.

Change

Change is inevitable; constant yet not consistent; predictable, yet more often, not.

I have heard it said that change happens over time. I would argue that change happens ALL the time. Time moves on and moment by moment we’re just that much older or if physically moving, we’re in a different place. I have a granddaughter whom I have watched growing/changing. At her age, change is so significant and quick. As we age, the process seems to slow for a while but then seems to pick up speed again later on. 

We find comfort in predictable changes - the seasons, the movement of the sun in relation to the time of day, the growing and harvest seasons for food, how certain things will progress.
