I' m glad this has been helpful for you John. Isn't it great to have others put into words some their own challenges instead just pat answers?
So right now in my life I am challenged with feeling like time is getting away from me somehow...and the hubs is feeling it too....we're the same age...and yesterday we talked about what we can do to simplify our lives more.
We've got an old old cat, a stray, that recently adopted us...we feed him.....he gets around pretty slow these days....but his life is simple and his basic needs are met...but he is at the mercy of the elements and whoever will feed him...but last night as I was petting him I realized....he actually seems content....
