Your Mom certainly knew how to adapt with grace. That's what I'd like to do and what I will work on going forward.

I continue to look for ways to adapt. The idea of adapting is always on my mind. We continue to travel as we are able, but think every day of ways to make it work for us. For example, we recently purchased ultralight folding chairs we can tote, and a safe adjustable stool for tasks we need to accomplish. We are looking for a vehicle with an autoclose hatch. We hire the ladder and heavy work done at our home. We order groceries and supplies online to conserve energy. It's a matter of adjusting to our current reality instead of mourning loss of abilities.
And sitting on the patio enjoying the gardens - until we decide the day has come to simplify. And go ding less strenuous activities to enjoy with our young grands, like making a fairy garden or stepping stones.
