Writing a blog is so out of my comfort zone. I am basically tech challenged. I am also a very private person who keeps things behind a self-constructed (and very sturdily built) wall. Things are changing though. I am finding that inching away, incrementally, from that comfort zone is quite exhilerating. I am learning that I am capable of many things I never could have imagined being capable of. And I am loving every minute of it!
I am 56 years old and I am reinventing my life. I have been there, done that, and bought the T-shirt, so to speak. I lived my adult life the way I thought I was expected to. I was a good worker, a good wife (well, at least I thought so), and a good mother. I took care of my parents in my home until they passed away. I volunteered at a soup kitchen and at my daughter's school. I have racked up lots of gold stars and brownie points over the years. But life was mostly boring with a few high spots now and then. And now, it all seems kind of meaningless. There are no tangibles.
I want to do... I want to be.... The rest of my life a a big blank page and I am ready to fill it full. I want to experience lots of highs, lots of being out of my comfort zone, lots of being in places I have never been before. I want to share my journey with you and I hope you will share yours with me. I will not be afraid to tell all and I hope you will not be afraid either. There will be no judgements, only encouragement and joy about what we are discovering about ourselves.
