Is there anything you miss.
As in, what you were once able to do, but due to maybe age/ health, are unable to do now.?How about your confidence ,has that been affected,in certain areas?
I miss being a cook ,in residential / nursing homes, no way could I cook for 50 residents/ staff, at my age....
I also miss the strength I used to have, lifting heavy objects in the garden.etc......

Re: Is there anything you miss.
I miss so many animals I've loved and lost.I miss not being able to take my dogs for miles across the fields like I used to. It was so therapeutic with just the views, the sunshine, and the natural sounds. Luv it.
Two reasons for not going - one is I have got foot problems at the mo, and secondly, I admit I am scared of the dog thieves.
Old ducks like me would be an easy target for them out in the middle of nowhere with no help around.
One place I used to enjoy became an eye opener, when one day I spotted two or three gipsys and their lurchers up to no good across the other side of the field. I scuttled off before they saw me.

I too miss many things, but am trying to make the most of what I still can do healthwise. My main miss is my daily swim, I didn't realise just how much good it was doing me untill a few months into the lockdown and the effects wore off. I wonder if I'll ever get that level of fitness back once they reopen.
