To say I whined, moaned, and worried about this situation for the last six months is an understatement. But that’s me - complain rather than take action.
I know the feeling. When I was sitting and moaning here in Michigan for six months I knew I needed to do something. But instead I wallowed in the problem (my courage was waning) and didn't look for a solution. I tried several different ideas in the area and none left me satisfied that I was building courage to get rid of the fear of 'aging in place.' Until I made the decision to take my cross-country road trip. It took six weeks to get me back into my groove. Now I feel ready to tackle new projects. This was a wake-up call that action speaks louder than words and whining. Good read!
“ taking action helps even more.” Good words! When my dad - consummate tough guy- retired, he took up hobbies as diverse as welding and sewing. They added energy in his last years. Thanks for your post!

It's amazing how taking one action step can shift the dynamic, at least in our heads.
How very true.
