As we age we do serve many purposes, not the least of which is to remind those still young and able that once, so too were we, eh?

I'm not old, but I started becoming disabled at the end of my 20s, and often feel 2-3x my age.

Because of a degenerative connective tissue disorder, I went from being able to run, take stairs, go on hikes, ride my bike, etc to not being able to get out of bed some days.

Sometimes it's deeply painful to notice the stark contrast in before and after in my mobility changes. But I love your analogy of imagining myself as a tree, simply moving at a slower pace in life, instead of viewing these challenges as impacting my quality of life via what I might be missing out on.

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts.💕🌳

The title of this one reminded me of an old Ray Stevens song called “let’s all go camping”

And the message reminded me of his song “everything is beautiful “

Fijne aflevering weer, Margreet!

Een overgevoelige Nijmeegse muggenzifter stoort zich een beetje aan de automatisch strakgetrokken Procreate-oogjes en wangen. (Niks mis met een gezonde bibber!) Maar daar zou ik me niet te veel van aantrekken. 🤓

Strákgetrokken? Hoe kom je erbij?! Dat is gewoon mijn Vaste Hand, hoor! ;)
