And then have the wisdom to stop and evaluate IF they need to continue doing things the way they always have or IF they need to change how they are doing something if IF they need to get help. It’s so easy to fall in the trap of always doing things the way we always have.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9024018.post-1762589060433096762019-06-20T12:16:44.036-04:002019-06-20T12:16:44.036-04:00Betsy--oh dear.

There's no denying that we're always changing, and life is always changing. I like your ideas about getting help for the chores that are becoming challenging. That's the sensible thing to do!

He's 63 and still does all of the yardwork. And it's a LOT. I trim some bushes when I'm able to, but that's about it.
