I have made a it priority to say yes, & following through on trips, & visits with friends, etc. In the past, there was a lot of “we should go…”, and “wouldn’t it be fun to…”. Now I book the trip. I’m retired, so it’s easier. I have to be careful because I over did it last year though. Four trips & 2 surgeries in five months was too much. I am also painting more, and don’t get angry as easily. Little things don’t matter anymore, unless they are little pleasures. Best wishes to you! There is a difference between being/staying alive & living.
