When I was in Vancouver I tried new foods and new trails.
The advantage of being a Boomer and Empty Nester is that I can make a wish list and actually complete it without watching the clock or dashing to the grocery store.
Vancouver had been on my wish list for years. There is always a reason you can come to that stops you from giving to yourself.
Money, time, health, being solo, and yet there is a voice within that could grow and tell you, just do it. Stop thinking about it so much and go for it.
I can drive myself crazy in my head with thoughts that limit me. Now I catch myself and say, Pack it up. Live it now.
Ask your friend to support you in focusing on you now. Use email or text or the phone for a week as a way for your friend to remind you to live it now.
It could be taking a drive or going to a movie in the day time. No one will punish you for having fun. Parents are care takers. Shift your role and care for you. Let me know what fun you put on your list and did.
Take care,
Natalie
