I have a file called "Living My Best Life" on my computer and I write in it every morning. It helps me monitor my health (How many steps? How much do I weigh?), my finances (how do I spend/save/give my money?) who I have seen (or telephoned?) what have I done? Most of all, it is a reflective journal encouraging me to write down my thoughts and concerns each day.
I started to keep a journal during the pandemic when I needed to have a sense of control over those endless months. I chose to declutter, to lose weight, and to make plans, both short and medium term. I noted my phone calls and zooms so that I could remember the thoughts and concerns of others and phone back as needed. And I found I enjoyed doing it.
I've read lots of articles about how our seventies are among the happiest times of our lives and I am finding that to be true. I have leisure time and friends to spend it on. My income is reduced but I spend and save carefully. I'm getting older but the aches and painbs are mostly under control. As I said in this post I want to go on a cruise which means I need to save money and guard my health.
Are you living your best life and what helps?
There are so many accessible cruise choices now. Hope you get to go on one.
ReplyDeleteI've got my eye on one. And I think I may buy a lightweight scooter as well
DeleteGood for you. We went on our first ever cruise last September to Alaska and loved it. We started small and hope to do another one very soon.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Great! The anticipation is pretty good too, isn't it.
DeleteYes my seventies (and I am nearing the end of them) have been among the happiest of my life. Overall at peace with God and man.
