Typical day for a man in their senior years. I arose at 7:15 in the morning, which is a bit later than usual, as I normally arise between 7 and 8 in the morning. However, that doesn’t mean I just awoke; I typically awake between 4:30 and 5:30 in the morning, allowing myself precious moments of solitude to meditate and reconcile my thoughts before the day begins. This quiet time helps me center myself and prepare for whatever lies ahead. After my meditation, I make it a point to get up by 7, feeling refreshed and ready to face the day. The first thing I do is take my dose of blood thinner medication with a full glass of water, which is crucial for maintaining my health. I adhere to this schedule diligently, taking my medication once in the morning and again at 7 in the evening, ensuring that I remain vigilant about my well-being as I navigate my senior years.

Every day is Saturday for me. No deadlines, no pressure, and I do anything I want to do for the day, whether it’s enjoying a leisurely breakfast with a steaming cup of coffee, diving into a good book that has been gathering dust or embarking on spontaneous adventures exploring the beauty of the outdoors. This freedom allows me to embrace creativity and indulge in blogging and hobbies I’ve always wanted to pursue. The possibilities are endless, and I relish in the joy of living life on my own terms, crafting each moment to be fulfilling and meaningful.
