I'm 65 so a young chick yet, but my mother is 89 and we just built a new craft room for me to sew and her to paint. She too, has 'slump' days and periods but she's found that taking a class gets her refreshed and jump starts her getting back into the swing of things. She's off right now with a neighbor (my age) who suggested they take a 6 week oil painting class in a town about 25 miles away (we live in the country) and Sandy picks her up each week to attend. Mom hasn't done oils in a lot of years so had to buy new supplies....had a ball shopping for them and didn't give a thought to spending the money in trade for the fun they would have. She's up early, paints for 6 hours and forgets the naps that she would have taken if she were home! We all hit slumps - just enjoy each day and find something that you can look 'forward' to....plan to take a class, go on a retreat - anything that puts a smile on your face!
