In this new season of early retirement, I've noticed things about myself that I never paid attention to before. I don't know why they seem so glaring now when I was able to ignore them in the past. Maybe because there are fewer distractions in this season so I have more "me" time. Or maybe [...]

Sometimes you just have to laugh!
It's essential to be able to laugh in every season. . Seasons change our perspective. (I used to think 65 was old, I mean really old. Now 65 is young.) But if you can keep laughing, I promise, you will always stay young! Laughter is a wonderful gift and we tend to forget about it [...]
Strategy to Move Forward With Confidence
My life, as does everyone's, has gone from season to season. Â Each one seems to last about 20 years, except for this season of marriage and it is going on 45 years!! Â But even in those years, I have noticed there are different seasons. Â Some of them I saw coming and engaged in as much [...]

BE WILLING TO ASK
This blog was started five years ago with the idea of sharing experiences and challenges that come with change. Â That's right CHALLENGES OF CHANGE. Â We are creatures of habit and we really don't like a lot of change. Â We like the thought of it but then, when we actually experience it, we find it full [...]
This Side of the Unknown
I have been through complete knee replacement surgery and have survived to tell the story!! 🙂 In my last post I described how nervous I was and the fear of the unknown was so very real.  But...and I shouldn't be surprised......instead of fear, the last two months have been ones filled with encouraging words from [...]
Entering the Unknown Once Again
Once again I am facing something I have never faced before. Â After dealing with a deteriorating knee joint for a while I have finally come to the conclusion it is not going to get any better and so I have agreed to have a full knee replacement. I am nervous. Â I am a little scared. [...]
