Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

How to Deal With Gaslighting From Your Boss

I was sitting by the indoor lap pool, waiting for a lane to open. (Usually at this pool there are just single swimmers in each lane.) Not more than three minutes passed when a woman in one of the lanes invited me to share her lane. What struck me was not only her unsolicited kindness, but the open-hearted appreciation I felt for hours afterwards, that made me want to return the kindness and pass it to someone else through my actions in some way. Her kindness felt contagious, and I wanted to spread it. Weeks later, I was with my 20-something niece and we stopped in a convenience store off the highway. She was taken by the kindness of one of the workers in the store and had a very similar experience, feeling filled up with warmth by the small kindness of another and a strong desire to express that kindness to others.

People who are “single at heart” – who love being single and are happy and flourishing because they are single, not in spite of it – share something important: They cherish the time they have to themselves. That doesn’t mean they do not also value companionship and socializing; most do. But it does mean that they defy the common misperceptions that when people are alone, they are likely to be lonely, and that if they like spending time alone, maybe there is something wrong with them.
