Hi @Blossom1961
I thought I’d post to this as I recently saw a psychologist and she talked about having an “ activities diary” and putting things in it that give you joy.
I said I already had that !
I am semi retired but on average only work one or two days a week doing work I enjoy , I also have a few retired friends and generally have a lunch out at least once a week , yesterday I went to the movies and I also do stuff with my husband who is retired . ( including short trips away).I also try an do a walk every day and have been going for a swim to the beach near me quite often over this summer.
I used to work with a woman who believed keeping busy was the answer to all ills , not entirely correct but correct to a certain extent. Helps to stop “ dwelling”.
Take care.🌺
