” it wouldn’t be a bad idea to visit an elderly housing complex and make a new friend.’
That is a good and kind thought. Let me add that many times there may be elderly people living right next door or practically next door.
Back some time ago I lived next door to a couple of old ladies, they were sisters and used to visit them, they traveled a lot when they were young and had wonderful stories to tell and they were pleased that there was someone interested in hearing them.
If you have some free time you can tutor kids and worry about the future of America, or you can spend time with older folks and reminisce on it’s wonderful past.
