Haha! I’ve felt like this a few times and I’m not all that old yet. I like the imaginative twist there Wabi. x

Wonderful! Can be many more challenges than hiking where ambitions are lowered.

I identify. I few years ago my arthritis was so bad I could barely get out of bed. .It’s much better now (gave up some foods that were making it worse, including sugar and lost some weight). Still some days we all feel a bit less ambitious than others!
