Does moving speed decline?

@kjc48 I believe there are fulfilling and fun moments all around us in the universe. But for us caregivers it can be really hard to recognize the opportunities for fun if we are so focused on just getting the "to do" list done. Ever have fun with a can of whipped cream? Sure it will make a mess but you can have some really good laughs spraying it into each other's mouths. Or if it is hot outside, buy a couple of cheap squirt guns at the dollar store and go outside and try to spray each other. The Dollar store has lots of cheap toys that could be fun to try out. Just some random thoughts.

@ocdogmom what a great sense of humor you have. Me too, at least I try.
But you are right, the damn 'To Do" list is all encompassing and it's hard to find humor in things sometimes you just don't know how to do or want to do.
I love whipped cream - although with the diverticulitis back, no dairy for a while. The squirt gun definitely could work although with all the rain we've had, wind and crazy weather, who needs the squirt gun! I'll check out the Dollar Store. I love that place.........Keep sending your joy out in the universe. It's definitely helping me......Best,
