Likewise. I see so many people getting to a point in their lives where they do not wish to take any risks and have a fear of failure. Other than financial risks (for which I am adverse), I say bring it on! What do we have to lose? Thanks for stopping by.

Thank you, Jean.

I would like to comment on your “alternative to just sitting the rest of my life” statement. I had felt a lot of pressure to do what others in my neighborhood are doing. You know – lunch with the girls, playing cards or mahjong, gossiping, that sort of thing. Not that there is anything wrong with those things, they are just not me. Once I let go of the guilt of not participating in things I don’t enjoy go, I found my own path. We all need to do that.

By the way, I get incredibly more tired now than I did just five years ago. The way I deal with it is sleeping in until 7 or 7:30 instead of getting up at the crack of dawn. That, plus spending at least one hour a day coloring and playing with my art supplies. That is my version of a nap LOL.

To be honest, I was feeling a bit blue over the fact that the time I had left to do something amazing was getting shorter and shorter. Once I realized that I have plenty of time left (as long as my health holds out), my entire outlook changed. Yours will too.

Thanks so much for sticking with me. I know I ramble a bit but hopefully, my musings are helpful to more than just a few of you. Take care.
