Welcome, @suss53. I love the last line of your message "I'm just living my best life and enjoying it!"

I see a lot of joy (and health) in the activities you listed. I'm trying to encourage my mom to pace herself more. Like you she's active and her activities bring her joy, socialization and are healthy behaviors. But sometimes (with increasing regularity) they set her back for a day. My observation is that she finds it hard to take breaks, especially when she feels good and people are around.

How do you pace yourself? What tips would you offer?

With long covid I have learned to listen to my body and schedule in down days. If I’ve had a few busy days in a row, I enjoy staying in my PJ’s and relaxing in my recliner the next day. I’ll do a little around the house but no desire to get out. That helps me to catch up on energy for the next scheduled outing.
