I’ve been struggling with…money…forced retirement (sort of) and personal things like having a Mom who needs more and more of my time. She’s my best friend and so it’s tough to see her dwindling. Anyhoo…what I wanted to say was, I feel like I’m finally bouncing back to me. I’ve made peace with the fact that for a while, I couldn’t convince ANYONE that I still had some worth, truth be told, it was probably me that needed convincing. And I am…(convinced that is).
I have some clients and I have some jobs that I work on everyday and some that just need pushed along as needed. Everyday is new and different. And that’s pretty cool! I’m getting SS (it’s not much, but it’s more than some people get!). I’m surviving and finding that it’s kind of fun to be able to drop everything and take Mom to lunch or go to Grandparents Day. I just finished a pretty big project and have had a couple of nibbles from people looking for project work, (which, I believe is the wave of the future, mark my words.) So if you’re down and worried and you need a (wait a minute that’s a James Taylor song!) Anyway, if I can do this…find my way to a good place in these dark woods called semi-retirement, then you can too. Have faith, work hard and be grateful for EVERYTHING!!
