Life

    In those days when Joanne was in hospice care,she shared with some friends her worry about my future socialization. We were quite far apart on the extrovert-introvert scale. When she’d take instruments to determine extroversion and introversion she wouldn’t have a single item under introversion. While definitely an introvert, I’d have a few checks under extroversion. This difference led her to be concerned about my future,as she feared I’d become a social isolate.

    She needn’t have worried. The OFH is a good environment for both extroverts and introverts. When I want to mingle it’s easy and when I want to be alone all I need to do is go to my apartment. The apartment if very comfortable and perfect for a single person. The cleaning lady, who comes twice a month, complements me on how well I keep it. Dusting is just not my thing! I dusted once but it was fruitless because it all came back.

     The telephone is the other connection to people. Perhaps I do more calling than people call me but it is an important instrument to enable me to meet my people needs. No, I am not a social isolate, just and introvert who has found a good balance.
