I know when I have to realize something I love doing is too difficult I have a little spasm of grief try to get over it and either modify changes or find something new that brings me joy.

Recently, I "deleted" a lot of things in my life that were taking up too much time, stressing me out and literally sucking the life out of me! I also "deleted" a few hours off my work schedule by going part time. I edited a lot of things that I do from a physical stand point because of my need for a knee replacement. And when Joe retires in September, I hope to add some new things to my life!!<br />Thanks so much for the inspiration that I so need and got from this charming post!!<br /><br />Hugs,<br />DebDebbie-Dabble Blog and A Debbie-Dabble Christmashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09393980831584145593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434601505681405514.post-13751909981332776772016-04-06T13:13:15.459-07:002016-04-06T13:13:15.459-07:00Hi Carol, your post really hit home . . . as the y...Hi Carol, your post really hit home . . . as the years roll by there will always be things to edit and delete, but hallelujah until we are one foot in the grave, there will always be new and exciting things to take there place. You have a great eye for the camera and for staging photos . . . it's one of the things that I love about visiting your blog.

There are things I can't do now (and at the moment I don't know if I ever will be able to do again), as I have broken/destroyed ankle and can walk only with a special boot and a stick. I don't "delete" anything as everything was part of my life, but I do EDIT :)<br />You inspire me now!

I'm 69 this year and keep thinking I can do all the things I've always done. But just yesterday as I was in the garden, I realized that I don't enjoy gardening like I used to. My gardens too big for me and I have to figure out what to do about it! Time to begin editing and deleting.

I am finally able to think abut my new life as a widow and realizing some things will have to be deleted and some edited. Life is full of these changes but they also open us up to new experiences. You sound like you are doing just that. Have a wonderful week.

At 56 that is very true for me. My back hurts, I never fully recovered from my fractured arm and there are always the aches and pains and fatigue that leave me wondering. I think its great that you have replaced the activities you've decided you can't change and have found new diversions and adjustments. You make me feel that regrets are useless. Lets look for new dreams and accomplishments.
