This week’s theme is PERSONAL
Today’s words are: single – individual – alone
Living alone often is a challenge, especially for the senior citizen.
You are one individual responsible for nearly everything, a huge
to-do task.
IMO ‘single status’ is far from what people think it’s cracked up
to be.
Loneliness is associated with a number of health risks.
Who knew?
A fact I recently read in several medical articles states that
loneliness is comparable to a person smoking 15 cigarettes
per day.

🙋🏻♀️ Di,
Yes, cigarettes are quite a strange comparison.
There are so many studies done (some unnecessary), too.
Majority of the time I read over and over the same health risks.
This one was odd and different.
People still smoke. I do wonder how they afford the cigarettes that sell for $10 and higher.

Cigarettes here are now over £13 (about $16) for twenty.

I believe that’s pricier than US.
I wonder how people afford cigarettes these days.
Yet as we struggle to pay for weekly groceries, they puff smoke.
