That is what my doctor told me this week during an exam when I commented I was a bit stressed and down in the dumps. She kindly chided me and said you sound like my dad (a year younger than me). She then said she sees this a lot in older men, particularly those struggling with retirement.

The light went on. While I’m not struggling with retirement, I was struggling a bit with what to do next — as in what is the next challenge? (Soon leaving the HOA board, and all the toxic “terminally unhappy” residents.)

So I jumped back into my blog, and a project to develop on line classes. Stuff I’d put aside, but fun for me. Starting to consider other fun stuff too, like mid-week getaways or local sightseeing. Playing with the 71 Bug. Or???

Guess what? The cloud lifted, the energy returned, and life is good again.

Happy Holidays Everyone!
