@sally12345 It can really be upsetting when we realize our physical capacity is not what it used to be. So, we have to change up our outlook, and revel in what we can do. Gosh, I would never want to accomplish what I did 20 years ago! Ten years ago, yes. But my goals have had to change and be modified.

It's important to stay engaged with ourselves, and others. Find a few people who may share your same hobbies, or outlook. Perhaps a faith community. Can you translate your work career in to a volunteer situation? Ever wanted to try something but didn't feel ready? Now might be the time to do that attempt.

My husband and I joined the Senior Center in our town. Helps with what to do with yourself. We play games, have speakers, go shopping, sightseeing and have lunch together. Best thing we ever did
