Hello Dragonfly and Peter. I just got back from camping and that always improves my out look on life. Dragonfly, if you are just finding out at 65 that you can't do what you used to, consider yourself lucky. I discovered years ago that I couldn't do what I used to LOL. Just kidding about considering yourself lucky.
I sometimes get very frustrated when my body and mind let me down. Yesterday I had a full day planned, but I got up and I just couldn't get my mind to focus on anything so I went back to bed and spent the day there. The plus side of that is because I know that a variety of illnesses are going to force me to cancel a day every now and then, I no longer feel frustrated or guilty about doing so.
Because I took yesterday off, I felt great today and got a lot done. In the old days I would have dragged my butt of bed, been grouchy and not accomplished much for 3 or more days. On the really bright side, my dog loved it as she too is getting older, doesn't mind sleeping 20 hrs in a day and enjoys the company in bed LOL.
In regards to technology , I just hand my sons our cell phone, camera etc to program and then hope that nothing goes wrong before I see them again. Whenever I try to learn too much new technology I seem to forget what I learned the next day. Take Care. paul m
