[quote=Anonymous]I can relate. A lot of transitions in a short period and with the "loss" of our last kid off to college comes the struggles with our aging parents' declining health. "Fun" just isn't easy to find right now. I have worked hard to maintain my social connections - as that seems to help me feel better about most things. I have a friend with whom we have a monthly standing lunch date, another is just a walk around a track. I do better when I have things to look forward to. Just like other periods in my life - society tries to dictate what you should be feeling or doing - I had to first acknowledge what I wanted, where I am and what amd I going to do about it. And then find a way to make it happen. It requires effort. And just because something you did use to bring you joy, it doesn't mean that it does now. Start small, try things, and build up what the "new" you wants to be. Its a process. [/quote]
