Love this so much. Yes, simple pleasures are the best. I love the little routines of life that bring happiness. They’re also soothing. I think you hit it on the nose with this one.
Carol, All I can say is that you have lost nothing. You are bright, involved and flying around the U.S.and other destinations. KEEP GOING, that’s my motto. Beth
Thank you for this! This happened to me starting last year when I turned 59. Something switched in me. I was falling more, more anxious and unsure of myself. I am finally doing more things that are joyful again. Finding joy in little things. Doing what feels good. Learning to trust myself again. It takes time but things are looking up.
I am so with you – the tentativeness of everyday activities, and I do NOT jump into energetic, quick movements nowadays. Take it slow, I tell myself, and all will be OK. And think twice before trying something new – although I often do attempt new things. It helps keep me young-at-heart. But within reason!

thanks, my friend. I think my friend was right on the money with that observation.

Thanks, Beth. Yes, KEEP GOING is a great motto!
Thank you for touching on a subject I am deeply curious about, and living into at age 71.
Last week I read “Cat Brushing” (2022)
by Jane Campbell.
“Cat Brushing” was Jane’s first book which debuted when she was 80 years old!!
The book explores—in brief vignettes—the interior lives and sensual worlds of thirteen old women.
I have never read a book revealing such deep truth about what it is to be an aging woman.
Next Level!💥
I’ll have to check it out, thanks for pinging me about it, LB!

So glad to hear this, Amy!
