(34,060 posts)7. I start to feel this myself
as I stay on my farm. We do have friends we meet for dinners every month and I still enjoy that, the occasional lunch with others. I still play in the symphony but if I compare what I am comfortable doing with what I used to do it is measurably different. I will do whatever I have to do, will not become a shut in but it is different somehow and I will put off trips to the hardware store or calling a place for help with my fence or tractor and I never used to be that way. 13 years we have been able to live out here now and it has made a difference. I fight it successfully but it is often a fight.
Interesting.

Netfilx instead of the movies. Amazon instead of the mall. Twitter for arguing. Facebook for photos.
