Hell yes! Let's redefine adventure by pushing past age, gender, and caregiving boundaries (+ everyone should meet a seal and wish on a star, shouldn't they?)
Isn’t it amazing how a sense of adventure is part of our identity and being, no matter what life throws at us it is the thing that brings us back to ourselves. There is no age limit on that! Thank you for your words.
Physical exhaustion weirdly gives us energy to refill us for the mental exhaustion - I know this, just need to practice it more - work in progress... Weirdly I practiced this religiously in palliative to end-of-life caring for my Dad, and in these calmer waters my head & body have gone PHEW, no need to do that as much now. Pivot pivot again and recalibrate the new caregiving context. As Bee said - Thank you - an inspiring read and Solidarity rules! Plus I've murdered and cried into all my pillows - they are flat pancakes now!
It does. I’m the same, unfortunately I find myself caught in a mental exhaustion trap. The more mentally exhausted I become the less physical exertion I want to do. Thanks for your kind words. It makes a difference knowing other people understand.

Thanks for reading it, Bel. Yes, somehow I think it’s inbuilt. You don’t have a choice, you just have to do it - whatever your age or circumstances.
