Hello Elizabeth, I have lost enjoyment of so many past activities. One remaining constant however is I love to read. During these days of depression and anxiety no matter what type of day I'm experiencing I will read. I can close off everything but the words on the page. Heaven!
I'm also lucky to have 2 dogs, who think I'm nuts. But they always stand by me. I make myself walk the dogs every day and can usually get in the moment checking out the neighbours gardens, noticing the birds landing in the trees, watching the way the muscles in the dog's bodies move as they walk/run ahead.
I've also started repainting the interior of the house. Lots of work but having fresh coats of paint on the walls, in colours I chose rather than what the previous owners left is very satisfying. Yes, having to go over areas not done well enough because the day I painted hadn't been a good one is a pain but the end result is wonderful.
