Mirrors Never Lie... Or Do They? 🤔

It was Saturday afternoon and my usual provisions provider was crammed with irritable shoppers scrambling about. Are Saturday’s the worst day of the week to visit these types of stores? Possibly, but especially if you're not fond of crowds; I’m not.

I waited patiently at the checkout line as the elderly, grey haired man in front of me hunched over and reached into his basket. His trembling hands placed a can of tuna on the rubber conveyor. As he glanced at me our eyes met and I could tell; he didn't like crowds either. I watched as he pulled out a quart of milk, a loaf of white bread, then a can of beans and two bananas. Finally, he placed a small jar of peanut butter on that moving belt. The cashier’s register flashed a number and she announced the total.

The grey haired man searched for his wallet as she tapped her fingers against her arm and waited. He thrust his hands into his pockets again and then again, as if magically his wallet would appear; it didn't. He looked at her meekly with a helpless look of resignation.

"We'll put all this away for you sir. When you come back with your wallet, it'll be here waiting for you, ok?"

The grey haired man was visibly embarrassed yet it was panic that gripped his throat as he stuttered; "I... I live a ways away. I won’t be able to get back here before you’re closed."

The people in back of me grew restless as they glanced side to side for an escape to another ‘cash’. The cashier had already pushed his items aside. And that’s when I spoke up.

"I'll pay for it."

The grey haired man tried to refuse my help but I wouldn’t listen. By the time I'd paid, tears had filled his faded grey eyes and he'd shaken my hand and thanked me a dozen times. As he slowly turned away, he clutched that bag of food and draped it carefully over his shoulder. It was snowing outside as he tugged on his woollen hat, put on his gloves and shuffled slowly out the door. I watched as he disappeared into those swirling flakes of white.

It dawned on me that no one ever plans for it. Everyone denies it and then before you realize it – time has blazed by. Mirrors never lie; they reflect exactly what you want to see in them. When I look into one, I see the mind of a young man trapped in a face that’s not mine. The wrinkles around those eyes belong to someone else. Grimly I wondered what if - something were to happen to me? I live alone. How long would it take for them to find me? Not that I’m planning on leaving or going anywhere; no one ever does. It just happens.

We don't plan to be alone and grow old… or do we?

....................................................
So...
Do you feel your age; physically and mentally?

Bonus Question: When do you shop for your food?


I guess, I could also have asked; How important is it, for you, not to be alone? But 's a harsh question, isn't it? . .

I feel... as if I'm in, my mid thirties... mentally. I spend quite a bit of time on the computer, as part of my job, so trends and things like that, are fresh. My daughters and I share a love of movies and music. We're always exchanging favorite songs. The fact that I still get on my drum kit, from time to time... creates the illusion, that I'm younger, than I am.
Physically... I don't feel my age. I'm in pretty good shape. I could probably get more exercise. Although, after a night of playing the drums... man; the next day, I really... feel my age. Things are creeking. Oh well... 😊

I actually shop for food, almost every day. Sort of like the European tradition, of shopping for fresh ingredients, one might say.
In my case, it's become a habit. A way of relieving the stress from my day. And I find great specials. I'm not always sure what I'm in the mood to eat, but when I see it... it motivates me, to come up with something different. Oh... and it's a great place to meet people... lol 😊True! 😁

Well... I may be alone, but I'm not lonely. I have my children and family and friends, as well as, my hobbies and passions and interests; to keep me busy and engaged with others. Of course, it would be nice, to have a life partner, and I don't just mean a lover. I may be set in my ways, where that's not quite, what I'm searching for. Perhaps I will be alone... until, I'm not. Who knows? 🤔

yes....good move on assisting that man. I call it paying it forward cuz one nevah knows when we will need that.

I am soon to be alone . Dont really know what feelings that will evoke. Yet i have thought of the concept of congregate housing as i age.

For now my work keeps me going and active, it was my sanctuary after the loss of my husband. I also have a wide and supportive group of friends.

No....the mirror doesnt lie , and neither do the creaking bones of a certain age.

Currently i shop whenever there is a need, but if and when i retire, i like that european way of going to the market daily, i might adopt that idea.

Thanks for this post....it generates thought ~~

I live alone, out in the country, 13 miles from the nearest grocery store, and out of sight of the nearest neighbor 1/2 mile away. I'm retired, so unless I have plans with someone, it might be days before I am missed, although I do keep in close touch with some friends. They might check on me if they haven't heard from me in 2 or 3 days, but I'm not sure since they live a pretty good distance from me if they would check on me in person. I think about it, but I don't dwell on it. I definitely don't feel lonely I enjoy the solitude and the company of my dog. I don't feel my age unless I've spent a day working outside on the property, lifting and moving things that I probably have no business doing at any age. And I shop for groceries weekly, although if I'm out and about doing other errands I will pick up a few things just to be able to extend that weekly trip.

One never does know... do we? 🤔
Soon to be alone? Good for you, that you have a wide group of friends... that always helps.
Creaking bones? lol... 😁Tell me about it. I still think I'm a kid and I learn a lesson, once in a while.
That style of shopping suits me. Everyone in the store knows me and they'll steer me towards what's on special, as well as the discounted items. But like I said... I stumble upon things that interest me on that day. And it's true... it is a fun place to meet people... Or at least, here it is. Let me know how it works out for you... 😊
Thanks for sharing your pov. 🙂

Last summer, I quit my job and moved, to be near my daughter before I got old and decrepit. I don't look my age. Heck, I don't look your age, either but I feel it, at times.
(btw - being chubby keeps wrinkles at bay)

Alone....I'm use to being alone, it doesn't bother me. I find that I'm a little more chatty than I use to be .... now that I don't have to spend 8hrs a day being nice to people.

I shop for food once a month.

Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation bangs on the door forever!

Random acts of kindness happen too infrequently. Often they can be simple to do and cost little if nothing. You went far beyond that so it’s no wonder, the old man was so touched by your kindness. Thank you for posting this poignant, heartfelt story.

Great post Paul, keeping it real. It's crazy how much gratitude one can get from a fairly minor act of kindness. I volunteer at a food shelf once a month and last time there was an older gentleman volunteering with me. He asked if anyone else on the crew could give him a ride to a bus stop a couple miles away. I said 'sure, but where do you live?'. It turned out he was literally directly on my route home, so I took him home instead of to the bus stop. He was SO effusive, calling me an angel. My only regret is that I didn't think to get his phone number to possibly coordinate future shifts, so I could continue giving him a ride.

And...yeah...aging and being alone, it's something I've started to think about. There is no one who I have consistent daily contact with, who would know to be concerned if they didn't hear from me. I have a friend who I email with almost every day, and we did have the discussion of, 'if you don't hear from me for more than a couple days and you can't get a response via text, contact my friend Lisa who lives up the street and has a key'. Of course, if that's two days of lying unconscious at the bottom of the basement stairs, who knows what kind of shape I'll be in I do find myself being very careful going down the stairs.

After my dad died, my mom would have a daily morning phone call with a friend to check in on each other. Sometimes it was just "Hi, I'm still alive, have a good day!" lol. At 61 it feels too early for that, but I probably should be cultivating someone who I'm in daily touch with, that way.

Yeah... I didn't mean this post, to become any type of morbid reminder of our mortality or anything like that. It's just stuff, that pops into my mind... once in a while... too often. My brain has always been wired, like that.
My daughters and I text, talk... daily. But... like you, I watch my step when I'm on my stairs.
I would notice.... I don't know what I'd do. But I'd notice.

Paul...

I don't much worry about anyone finding me in a state of decay. The problem, as I see it, is this: if I go before my dog, will she munch on my wrinkled face? She is rather vindictive (like most any female) and I know she harbors certain long-term grudges against me.

Although she knows where I keep her crunchies... and there's always spares available... I just have this stinkin' undercurrent of doubt that she would start in on those vitamin-enriched morsels.

I've mentioned to my neighbors that they might check on me to see whether or not I'm still kickin'... since my Snoodie McNabber needs to be properly fed. To date... they ain't yet checked. Ain't sure if they're afraid of finding some dried-up geezer layin' stiff in the recliner...or if they just hate my guts because I'm old and in the way--

But my dog ain't never bit one of them. The more I think about it, I hope they all starve... like freakin' rats caught in a trap!

( I'm kidding... of course. Right? )

Yes, profound posts. Two posts in and I'm a blubbering idiot!!! Definitely still raw from the reality of my life. I have wondered who will take care of me if I get sick like my husband did, was...who will comfort me when I get lost and confused, who will wipe my butt (I know probably a bit more than folks want to read, but you know what, that's reality.

These past few weeks have been hard. The reality and graviment of my "new normal" well...I'm not liking it very much right now. I'm sure over time I'll adapt. I'm a survivor and I'll make my way slowly but surely.

Mentally, I'm pretty sure I'm like...30. lol. Physically, once in awhile I feel my age, and I definitely need to be more active.

I don't mind living alone, most of the time. Every once in awhile, it would be nice to have someone around, especially at night.

Because I live so far from my family, and only have a few friends here (that I don't interact with on a daily basis), my kids check in every couple of days...even if all I do is react to something they share in FB mes.senger, they at least know I'm okay. I talk to them every couple of weeks, at the most.

I talk to them every couple of weeks, at the most.
Hey.... I'm 30 as well. lol 😁
That thing with my daughters is, it took me a few years to train them to text, on a daily basis. Now it's become a habit. Sometimes all I do is offer a quote of the day, or a reminder of the National Day celebration.
Yep... I'm like you. I don't interact with enough friends.
Oh well... What can one do? I guess, I could volunteer more. I've known that it is rewarding as well as a great way to feel, more connected. I don't know..
Night time cuddling? Yes please. That would be very nice.. no? lol 😊
Something about skin on skin, no? 😘
Thanks for sharing your pov. 👍

    Quoting Paulxx001:
    Oh dear.... Anyone should have done the same... no?
    One of your neighbours must be old.... no?
    Oh well... how would you know when.... if .. I were to go.... hmmm....
    Yep.. perhaps the question is too morbid... Is it? 😊
I do have some elderly neighbours and I worry about one in particular. She never answers her phone or a knock at her door. She could lay there for days before anyone would know 🙁.
For you...the first indication would be a static blog with no new posts or comments made on other’s blogs.

Sad about your neighbour... Although... she's probably deaf and doesn't hear the bells and buzzers.
So you'd notice in a day? Perhaps I should give you the keys to my place and a number to call. Though... by the time you'd get here... I might be a bit ripe... 😨
OK.... enough... Happier thoughts?

No she’s not deaf, just moody. Quite sad actually.
Fix that damn teletransporter and I would be there in a flash ⚡️
Happier thoughts? Sunshine ☀️ and lollipops. Sex on the beach 🏖 . Winning the lottery 🎉. Good friends. Good food 🥘 . Good wine 🍷 Good times 😊

I guess if you hate being alone, that's why you like crowds. Makes sense. 😊
So... it's obvious that you'd shop Saturdays... the busiest day. lol.... 😊
Maybe I've bumped into you, without even knowing. 😱Do you ever go to the Provigo on St. John's and Pfd Blvd? 😁

Ahhh... ok. I understand. Laval is way too far to walk over here. And you don't drive? How do you get into the city? Metro? 😊🚇

I was alone and ran my home for 20 years until I met someone who had an huge impact on me. It lasted 7+ years and now he's having an eternal sleep.
That very recent event has served to age me BANG like overnight. I had to rewrite all my paperwork and I find that very unsettling. I have a deal with my best friend and with my sister to contact them every day. I did not have a problem being alone before but I know I will now- it sucks pond water

Well... that's rather sad. I wish I could say something.
I guess, that's why I do silly things like go to that stupid grocery store of mine daily... even though I don't really need to.
Hey.... I'm always here... if you want to talk.. My phone is always on.. Things have a way of smoothing themselves out over time. ⌚ I hope that time can do that for you. I'm sure it will... if you let it. 👍
