Maybe being 'underwhelmed' with your current home base is contributing to a lack of inspiration? Certainly aging plays into every aspect of our lives and makes more challenging the things that were easier in our youth. We have to tweak our expectations due to growing older. But, 'home is where the heart is.' And I'm guessing (from what you've written) that you'll be more inspired once you get there.
This. You put into words exactly how I'm feeling. My husband and I are sitting down soon to have a chat about the future. "Home" is exactly what inspires me... whether it ends up being an apartment in New York or a condo in California. Thanks for responding and articulating what's been on my mind.
I suffered a full thickness full width tear of my left rotator cuff as well as detachment of my long head bicep tendon. I rehabilitated and avoided surgery following Dr. John M. Kirsch shoulder health protocols. Learn more here: https://www.kirschshoulder.com/
Thank you for sharing the link. This isn't the first time I damaged it. And it isn't as painful this time around, either. I'm avoiding surgery for now, as I did in the past. I'll investigate the information... I'm impressed you were able to heal from the detachment of your long bicep tendon; I'm hoping that isn't part of this debacle.
"About a year ago I stopped paying attention. It’s laborious to pay attention and stay disciplined all the time, At least this is what I’ve found in the aging process, and more importantly, what I’m experiencing living in a place that does not fuel desire or passion. Complacency or settling for is what happens when we lose sight of the end game."
I think about this, especially the first sentence, all of the time. For me at least, to keep going and paying attention requires relatively big plans. You've inspired me to write about this.
I'm a planner, too. After cancelling the trip to Hawaii I'm forced to reassess planning for vacationing. (Truthfully I'd rather use the time to explore relocating.) Staying inspired and seeing results are key for me to stay even semi-disciplined. Can't wait to read what you share with us!
"while fighting injury — a torn rotator cuff and a mysterious numbing and tightening of my leg" - Sorry to hear of your injury Patti. Continue to take care of the torn rotator cuff.
"So maybe the lesson is learning to accept what is" - It's important to embrace and accept our aging process but still find ways to carry out physical exercises that won't take a toll on our bodies. You seem to be doing quite well Patti in keeping fit.
Thanks for this reminder, Patti on the importance of moving as we age since so much of our daily activities keep us in a sitting position.

Thank you Jacquline, it's a work in progress.
