Lorraine, Thank you for this. I enjoyed it. I looked you up because I ran into Pauline S. Glad I did. She tells me you and B. are well. I am still working but only about 6 times a month. Hoping to keep my my mind robust by bolstering the mind-body connection, outside of work I continually challenge myself with new things - new art techniques (you can see many of my works at Art by Doris Sweeney on Facebook), ballroom dancing, line dancing, removing popcorn ceiling (I have always tackled home repair projects, knowing that someone else will never be as particular as I am), complex jigsaw puzzles, leather work, new classes at the gym, etc. I would love to catch up.
Thanks also for the opportunity to reflect on and recognize the ways in which I am building resistance. Who knew that getting out to the community garden to do the tasks required and reading books contributed to this. Having semi-retired, I get lots of opportunities through work projects to keep my keep resilient. Thanks for pointing to the need to keep it up as I move closer to full retirement.
