Most of my family and extended
family live well past their eighties. If that is true for me, I have plenty of
time to reinvent myself but I have to get to it.
I had one successful career and
was a darn good mother to my three, but there is much I still want to
accomplish. I am not about to sit on my laurels, and I refuse to be pigeon-holed
by how others see me.
I am not too old to rock and roll
(or Nae Nae, though my knees and hips yell out, “Osteoarthritis, yo!), and I have
always made goals and gone after them.
I love to learn. I try to keep healthy and positive and spiritual.
I constantly struggle to be a better person; I fail and then try again.
What do I have planned for this
next chapter in my life?
Another career or two, another go
at nurturing the younger ones in my family, another life lesson to face.
The fountain of youth is not
magic. It is keeping a youthful spirit.
It is tenacity and a positive outlook. It is striving to be physically,
emotionally, and spiritually active and healthy.
I am not through with this life
just yet.
