Depends. I'm homebound due to an accident and illness several years ago and can't take part in activities or have a social life like I used to while I feel like I'm getting older and missing out on so much.

But then again I'm very fortunate that I have insurance so that I don't have to worry about economy and I'm pretty good at making the best of my situation and have projects going so I feel I'm moving forward even though in other directions than before and at a highly reduced pace.

So... It could be better. But it could be so much worse. To be honest, I feel way more thankful for what I've got than sadness of what I have not.
