Recently I was contacted by several childhood friends, with whom I haven't spoken in more than 30 plus years. Now that we are in our sixties, we've all experienced one or more life or health challenges along the way. It was interesting to see how these long time friends handled things. A couple shook it off as a hard knock of life, but others, unfortunately, had trouble moving on.
It made me think of those of us with hearing impairment. We also have a choice...to get the best technology we can afford, choose compassionate friends, and do the best we can. Our other choice is to retreat into our own, little world and socialize as little as possible. This may be the easier choice, but is it really the wiser one?
We only go around once, but if you do it right, once is enough!
