I live in a place where i had hoped to find solace and peace of mind,

For the past 8 years, I have found that people in the apartments above me only care about themselves. They are very selfish in their behaviors. They don’t care about how noisy they are or how much noise they make. I moved to a seniors complex just recently. I thought and hoped that I would at last find the peace and quiet. Yes, solitude was what my heart craved and my nerves needed.

Sadly, I was to find out to my disappointment that even elderly people can be noisy and heavy footed. I try to look at it as fairly as I can. Sometimes ordinary things just sound louder than they really are. This said, it doesn’t really help much.

The one thing I and my husband hangs onto is that at least in the evenings things get quieter. We are able to enjoy a quiet evening together and enjoy some tv. Sometimes, I lie in my bed and feel very sad. I am not in a place where my soul and heart yearn to be. I long to be somewhere where I can truly be at peace. This peace is for both myself and my husband of 41 years.

The things that I like to do to escape my reality include enjoying some quiet music. I also watch a funny movie or play a favorite game. These things take my mind off what is going on around me. They act as an emotional refuge, taking me away from everything, so to speak.

One of the other things that are very important to my peace of mind and sanity is silence at bedtime. Bedtime comes early at my age. I have very bad insomnia. It is chronic. I need my rest during the day when I can’t rest at night.

Even the smallest or slightest noise like a phone ringing or a knock on the door and especially something dropped on the floor make me jump out of my skin.

I hope in reading this that my readers can identify with me. If I can help one person who has similar problems find help from this then my job is done
