1. Get up early. Anything you HAVE to do should be done before 9 a.m.
2. The rest of the day should be spent reading anything that remotely interests you, watching murder mysteries, like the new season of Grantchester, on PBS, doing jigsaw puzzles, drinking lots of cold tea or water with lemon.
3. Do The New York Times word games--I love spelling bee and Wordle and the easy crosswords on Monday and Tuesday.
4. Take a nap anytime you like. For as long as you like. Put a "napping" sign on the door if you don't want to be disturbed. Turn off the phone. Enjoy a happy mid-day sleep.
5. Plan your getaway for next summer.
6. Be thankful for every single little body part that still works. If you can't dance, enjoy watching those who do it better than you used to. If you can't lift weights, use your arms to hug people, deliver food, play with an animal. If it's too hot to walk, take a drive and explore something new. And do your best to keep your working parts working as long as you can.
