I'm sorting through some anxiety right now. What does life look like in the future? Is there a Mr. Right? Or is that wrong for me? I have to say, I've been on my own for most of my adult life. Two marriages=18 years total. That's it. I'm okay. Better than okay....thriving, actually. Sure, I'd like companionship, but can't that come in many forms? Could I adjust to being in a 24/7 relationship?
Did I have any idea how wonderful life could be in my 60s? Didn't you think when you were in your 30s that life would pretty much be over at this point? I just have to laugh at that. I'm rich. Not in the money sense, but in the Life Is Full sense.
All three of my kids will be here this weekend to celebrate my granddaughter's very first birthday. And, my daughter's getting married in September to a man I adore! We are a pretty open bunch and that gets complicated sometimes, but we deal with it.
I rejoice in the profound friendships I have with women. I may not see a friend for six months or a year, but the moment she steps into my arena, we open up and share our stories.
My career in education ended two years ago, but now I'm venturing into new areas that were waiting for me all along. My spiritual journey feeds my soul. Writing? Who knew it could be so much fun? For years, I wanted to write but was so exhausted at the end of the day, reflection was beyond me.
Not everyone gets this chance. My husband lost his battle at age 39. My hairdresser died two weeks ago--37 years old, leaving three small sons. We have all known peers who lost their lives to disease or accidents too young. Devastating.
Be grateful. Love deeply. Live in the moment. My issues are small.
