Dear @gravity3 , I don't have time to reply to you post (I am supposed to be somewhere else right now!) but I want to encourage you to be accepting of your New Normal situation, and try to live one day at a time. Take the time to enjoy the little things in life, your family, friends, the beauty of nature and the night sky - notice little wonders which we didn't notice when we were young and rushing around living busy lives. Try to involve yourself with others in your community. I have found my local Probus Club to have many enjoyable activities, and at 72 I am
making new friends through Probus. One thing I have learnt is that doing little things for other people - like greeting and smiling at the driver on the bus or even a stranger in a cafe -
can life your spirit and theirs. We all travel our own roads in life, it is satisfying to acknowledge and support fellow travellers. Wishing you a joyful and peaceful holiday season, and good health and happiness in the New Year. @ellu

@ellu more good words ! Thank you ! I like to think of ‘the chain of goodness’—-doing simple considerate things for others, getting passed along and then getting passed along, etc. —adding warm smiles for many by the end of a day… it does add up.
