@catartist when you said “(I’m 104 now)” I thought you were saying you are 104 years old and I thought “WOW!! I should live this long and have this kind of energy!” I see now you meant that is what you weigh - which still is remarkable! I am 78 and yo-yo between 125 and 129 lbs - but don’t have anywhere near your energy!
I am seriously thinking of downsizing my life too - but it’s tough because I am so sentimental!

Being sentimental is not the worst part of moving! It's the physical aspect of getting rid of what you won't need in a smaller place. I am starting now to get rid of things. Going through the basement, taking obvious discards to the thrift store and I don't even know if or where I will be moving.

Haha! After I sent it I realized it could read that way! Lol. My battles with RA, sever arthritis, (breast cancer 5 yrs ago) muscle atrophy in limbs ( possible adult onset muscular dystrophy, ) iGg IV theropy for low immunity), asthma, breast cancer etc leave me fatigued - not my usual self and artist at all! One reason that move was so so hard! But now weight back a bit and getting use to the emotional loss of so many years of our and parents history going to new lives elsewhere. That helps some. I am lucky to have my love of 56 married years having my back - and his isn’t a good one! What matters is family and I have that here too -2 of 8 grand! Think of positive and restart the ‘let go box’. Best of days to you!!!
