Sass, I guess you need to ask yourself how active your life would have been if you hadn't moved into the OFH. Were you a particularly active person in your hobby choices? Was parasailing, rock climbing, bungee jumping, on your bucket list? There is a wonderful old BBC series called Waiting for God about an OFH, starring the wonderul Stephanie Cole of Tenko as an irascible old biddy. The characters in ther are a mixture of those sitting patiently in gods waiting room, and those battling against the restrictions of time and age to squeeze some extra enjoyment from life.
Living in the OFH doesn't mean you need to restrict yourself beyond your body's capabilities. Look locally for things of interest that you would like to do. Write a bucket list. ( if visiting Scotland is on it, then dust off your passport mrs!) it is too easy to fall into the same pattern of those around you, but Sass, you have too much life, intelligence and passion for life to just sit there with your bible swatting for your finals.
