Research shows that as we get older, our quality of life - the subjective perception of our well-being, happiness, and contentment with life circumstances - affects how much we enjoy it. How would you rate yours?
I am experiencing a new kind of life. It feels great some days.
I have been a caretaker of elderly people for 28 years. I maybe caring for them a couple of years before they pass away. It is always hard. In February, I lost 3 in 4 days. After that I said no more full time care. I can’t do this ever again. Now when I wake up I am on my own doing what I want to do. If I only knew what to do it would be helpful.
I am learning how to live MY best life. I have never traveled so maybe a few short trips. I love the beach and that could be my first adventure. Short over night trip.
I do not believe I have really considered my life mine. So for others, I think you really do need to care for yourself NOW. Whatever that means. Figure out the most important items on your bucket list and start checking them off.
I give thanks every day for family. I feel there are people who have my back - people I could phone at 3 in the morning and they would come right over without question. I am blessed because I am loved. At my age, I only wish my body remained as sound as my mind.... but I don't complain. Thank you for asking, Janice.

Hi Susan, that sounds like a wise plan.
I give thanks every day for family. I feel there are people who have my back - people I could phone at 3 in the morning and they would come right over without question. I am blessed because I am loved. At my age, I only wish my body remained as sound as my mind.... but I don't complain. Thank you for asking, Janice.
