I am at a new place in life....and it seems I got here overnight! I have defined myself most of my life as a wife and mother. I unexpectedly lost my husband to a heat attack five years ago. I found myself alone for the first time in my life at age 65.
It was an adjustment, to say the least, at first. But I quickly embraced the opportunity of being alone to grow and learn more about myself. As a woman we tend to put others needs and goals above our own and thus don't learn about ourselves and who we really are. I read somewhere recently that everyone should live alone for a while to really get to know themselves. And I now believe that to be true.
Now in my late sixties I am living life to the fullest and exploring and growing as never before. Life is great and getting better!
