For some reason, this year seems to be taking a toll on so many of us. Monetarily, emotionally, and physically too. I often say to my husband that I don't know how people are managing these days. Being retired and on a fixed income is hard enough with the constant pressure of rising prices on everything one needs to enjoy life. I can't imagine the amount of debt that young people are accumulating between homes, cars, and health insurance, not to mention the cost of daycare today.

I feel like our generation had the best life growing up with family and a sense of having a home to raise one in, not like today where the attitude is it's just a house. So sad to me. Your post says it all. Juggling seems to be the norm and taking time for oneself goes on the back burner for so many. I hope you find time to muse your days with us again. Much love to you both.
