After making a post about calling in dead, I got sick! I'm not writing this from the Great Beyond. Obviously I am feeling better today. All I did for several days was drink iced water and sleep. It's a great weight loss program.
I just checked my email and one of the spam letters was about burial insurance. They found me! I get junk mail in my snail mail that would depress anyone. Hearing aids, nursing homes, funeral expenses, daily reminders that I am over the hill. I just got my Silver Sneakers membership card. That, at least, allows for the fact that I might want to still be active and healthy.
I don't have the same amount of nervous energy I used to have when I was younger. I'm no longer nervous. I'm not chasing a two-year-old or meeting a work deadline. I don't have a boss I need to please. I have just the right amount of energy to enjoy the things I like to do.
Lately people have been asking me to watch their children for them while they work. They see me as a loving and nurturing person. I am that, but at present I am busy loving and nurturing myself and my house plants. Life isn't the way I thought it would be, so I have made adjustments to insure that I will feel well loved before I die. Very often that is a do-it-yourself proposition,
I just nursed myself back to health. As soon as the rest of my energy returns I will look for something new to learn. The quest continues.

Glad you are feeling better, Beth! Yes, you will find something new to learn and I can't wait to hear what it is!
