I moved almost 30 miles from my grands a few years ago after living with the 2 girls for 9 years and only a couple of miles from my grand son. My daughter who lived with me babysat her sister's son so I was there with them all of the time Lost of care and help and fun. Like Lulu I like kids better than most adults. Being what to me was so far away was hard at first. While I still see them often they are older now and as is normal they need me less and less. I miss my babies. I am still able to do some art and design work and have my housing project and am the representative payee for my disabled tenants. This keeps me involved and busy with my former profession. I have my spiritual practice as well although I am less active, primarily in the counseling aspect of that. I travel some but not as much as I would like and I have this household (Chuck's) to manage. I also stay involved with my sister and college age nieces but after 3 years here they are naturally becoming more and more independent All that said I still feel irrelevant often. I know I am not but the feelings often veto the knowing I feel that this is a normal life progression and likely related to physical decline (the on going aches and pains that limit us and declining energy). Add to this that for many of us life is nothing like we thought it would be when we reached this point. Perhaps it is nature's way of preparing us so it will be easier for us to transition when the end comes. It will be far easier to "leave" if we are not needed. Spiritwoman ^i^

I feel fortunate that I can still hike and climb mountains. I'm not as fast as I was ten years ago, but glad that I can still do it. I also feel lucky that if and when i can't do the physical stuff any longer, I have more than enough other interests to keep me from becoming bored.
