Not my children. Not the government. Not the promises I made to myself decades ago.
But here's the thing: I am still capable of shaping the days I have into something beautiful.
Aging doesn't take my power...it reveals it.
The choice is mine.
I can shrink into the shadows (sooo easy for me to do), or step into this new chapter with strength, clarity, and grace.
I may be older...but I'm not done.
Not even close.
I'm resolved to understand this new chapter may look a bit different than what has been these last 78 years. Much different, actually. But that's okay. It feels good not having an agenda, unless I want one of course, but that concerns me a bit. Should it????
I'm not in any hurry to create something that demands a lot of my time. I do enjoy the peace I feel NOT being in demand. I just keep thinking there is more for me to do...
Releasing yesterday, as always, here you will find me...in Mary's World.

Love this go for it attitude!
ReplyDeleteLetting go of the life I have loved being a part of, has always been hard for me. Saying "no" ranks right up there with it. But...as the days, the months, and now getting close to a full year of being out of the workplace, I find myself settling in. And that scares me just a bit. I have physically released being a valuable business, yet seem to hang tight to it mentally. To understand this new season of my life is painful. But understand it, I must. Still searching for, asking, waiting on my new identity. Being a "plant lady" just wasn't on my radar. Thanks for the comment, Den. You are very encouraging.
