[quote=Anonymous]I think this is totally normal. This happened to my dad at around... 60? He was still in great health (and remains in great health now!) He travelled a ton before I was born, and we traveled a ton as a family when I was growing up, and couple trips with my mom, plus work took him all over the world. He really loved it and got a lot out of it. Did more traveling when they were empty nesters. But then they just kinda petered out on it. I asked him about it, and was surprised with his answer of "I feel like I've seen it all." Which certainly isn't objectively true (it's a big world) but I think he'd seen all HE wanted to see - which is great. It doesn't mean life adventures are over or anything. Now he's picked up a new hobby (tennis) that he's actually gotten really good at, and they're OBSESSED with the grandchildren (which keeps them traveling less ambitiously very regularly, as some of them live a few states away), and he's writing a book. He's also gotten into birding.

Life is long. It's okay, even good, to have your likes and interests evolve over time. No one wants to be exactly who they were at 30 at 60, just older, right? Life has phases. Roll with it![/quote]
