At my advancing age, I am looking back, as is usual, and wondering what the h**l happened. Just a few years ago I was a vital, forward thinking, senior. Now I feel I have been asleep for the last few years and have lost myself
Just a few years ago, I picked up and moved to Florida, looking for new adventures. And my first year here, I explored places and possibilities. Then my finances failed, and I developed some new conditions in my life and my health. That is when it happened – I lost myself in worry and illness. And I moved into a senior apartment complex where no young people with hopes and dreams live. I think that is really what happened to me. In my effort to fit in, I lost myself.
Lately, I have come out of that place I resided and am finding myself. My sense of adventure is replacing my sense of fear. I am ready to travel again and take risks. I have no one to answer to except myself. And I am one of those people who can forgive myself my transgressions and poor decisions -a trait not everyone has.
So, I am looking forward instead of backward again. Even though I have a limited income, I am not going to let that stop me. There is a tiny amount of money left each month and it is going to be used for fun.
So, look out world, the real Peggy has returned and is going to LIVE again as she once did.
