Passing Time

Being an older, retired woman in our today's world can present unique challenges. I hope that this blog will open up new possibilities for you as well as give you fuel for your own personal dreams. 
  When I retired from Academia, it was a blow to my psyche and emotional well being. Like most of you who have had careers that they loved, I was at a loss of not only what to do with my time, but also at a loss as to who I was as a person. So many of us find ourselves relating who we are with what we do. 
  Our children are raised, our home life pretty well settled, we have learned to cook and keep a household while we apply ourselves to the outside world...but what about Who We Are? 
  Luckily, I have had the privilege of moving to a 55+ community after retirement. It afforded me not only the opportunity to downsize living arrangements, but also the flexibility to explore. By that I mean exploring the state, county, city and community in which I live as well as exploring new and exciting activities and hobbies that enthrall me.
  I hope to share some of those things with you in the coming days ahead. 
Friendly Hugs,
