November 3--Life Requires Adjustments

The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.  --Alan Watts

    I am in Colorado visiting our younger son. Mental adjustments are gradually happening. Our older son and his family, including my two grandsons, used to live here; now they live in Minnesota. This is the first time that our sons have lived in different places. So it was weird driving out here for the first time knowing I wouldn't be seeing the grandsons and parents, nor would I ever see their former home again. 
    For the first time since our younger son turned 10 (when he was old enough to be on the golf course; he's 36 now), I have gone a whole season without playing golf. I played so poorly last year that I did not enjoy it, then sciatica and recovery from it made golf a mere dream this year. I am looking forward to a return to play in 2026, trying to keep my expectations extremely low. 
    My schedule for the past six months has revolved around physical therapy appointments. I've had more medical attention this year than in any former year of my life, even when I had my hip replaced. I'm hoping that 2026 holds only my routine chiropractor visits and nothing more. That's a part of "getting my life back."
    Life changes, we adapt to the new whether we like it or not.

A fine reminder!
