My mom used to be so weird to me.. she never wanted to do anything. I couldn't understand it. She just wanted to get up in the morning and watch tv..., not clean out cabinets, not decorate the house, not see a movie, not visit friends. Just watch tv.

I thought it was ache and pain related but, seeing a movie would be doable?

So an older friend told me yesterday that he has that mindset now. He just really doesn't want to do anything and it made me realize I am increasingly feeling the same way.

I am only 46.. but, I don't want to travel... I don't want to go out anyplace on the weekends... etc. I had this idea of moving upon retirement but I am already too lazy to really know if that is doable. I haven't been to a movie in years... honestly, it just feels like they are all bad and I don't enjoy sitting in the new theaters with the big seats.

I have surmised that this could be a physical issue. That human's brains just change when they get older. Perhaps in preparation for old age. For instance my young nephew is so full of life and positive. Nothing get to him.

But I also feel like I have learned that all the things that used to give me joy just don't anymore. They are sort of empty and hollow.

But I know I MUST find a way around this to be able to have the life I wanted when I retire. Anyone have any thoughts?
