I’ve always been a glass half full person but lately I’m feeling very down , I have lost quite a few people only in the last few months and another a year ago through COVID , I’d think it’s around 6/7 of my friends and acquaintances have passed away within a short time of one another, I’m looking at my own mortality more at 75,something that would never have entered my head only a few months ago , does anyone else feel the last two years have taken their toll on us?

You're right, Bobbi. I recall disagreeing with friends over children missing school. My feeling was that they have years to catch up. We don't. At our age this is taking away a huge chunk of the good life we have left to enjoy and sadly that has happened to some we know who haven't made it through to better times. The way things are looking here it's too easy to start...

I know that during the first year of the pandemic, I was in a constant state of fear, worry, anxiety. It felt uncontrollable. I felt I had no say in my life or that of those I love. Being alone became very scary and isolating. Having family so far away is horrid.
That's improved somewhat, but it can be difficult making sense of what is thrown at us by the media. I'd like to think there are enough measures available to give us a better sense of having some say in our day to day lives.

We met up with another couple last week mostly because we had hit the....oh for god's sake we need some company and chat.
This got us talking about the position of those like Burleyshirley, Pasta and others who are living alone and how at least we have one other person to share the ups and downs with.
Many of the folk alone here live in isolated areas. How scary that must be if they take ill.
Omicron is rife here so things like the men's shed and stitch and *** have been cancelled. These were lifelines for lone people and once again they've lost that lifeline for god knows how long.
I know it's bad for every age group, Pixie. But at our age when the bloody light at the end of the tunnel goes out again it really is depressing.

Time of year...yes. There's the post Christmas let-down, after 3 months frenetic build up to it. Made worse by will it happen/will it not.
I always spend January wanting to hibernate, yet looking forward to that time when my mental energy starts to improve and I feel that bit more positive. Waiting patiently as I spend hours on Pinterest planning projects. Whether or not my old body lets me execute them is something else.
