Relaxing at Home

I am a homebody, I will admit. I love to curl up in my chair with a good book or some knitting and just be at home. Now, when I was a young and naive child, I would think my parents were so old and stodgy cuz they would do the same thing. My, how the circle has gone around! Now, my 85 year mother is much more active than I am. It is really amazing what she can do and will do during the day. I envy the fact that she can do it all but I know that some days, she just doesn't have the energy or the stability to get moving. And that scares me. I think that she is getting more and more frail. I do not want to lose my mom and be an orphan. I hate growing older.
