My intention with this blog is to use my writing as a way to make sense of this twist in my life journey.
- I'm a partner... with a wonderful man who has put up with me for more than 35 years. He says that he doesn't know what he did to deserve me. I tell him he must have been really good in his last life - or really bad. He's just cracks that smile of his and lets either comment pass. Unless he is across the room. He does run faster than me.
- I'm a mom... now with three adult children. High school is now a faded memory.
- I am a grandma - a new landscape to explore and add to my life experience.
- I'm a daughter...With parents who have been wise teachers and constant support - even when they need a little support themselves.
I've been a counselor and coach; a teacher and administrator; a volunteer and a business owner - not all at the same time although sometimes the lines were pretty blurred.
I don't really want to live in the fast lane. Country roads that meander to interesting places are much more to my taste.
Priorities are not so straightforward. Aging brings the wisdom of not knowing everything.
My life is full - with wonderful people and amazing opportunities.
And that’s where grace comes in – filling my life with compassion and reminding me to save some of it for myself.
