Where Were You In the Seventies

Early 70's suffered from post puberty traumatic stress running to the school bus stop my belongings a mess at times missing the bus and walking to school enjoying my time alone and the suburban view Graduated from my NY high school in 1975 worked a variety of jobs I was staying alive took advantage of my typing and became a clerk typist driving on the LIE everyday getting stuck in traffic Went out dancing a bit with friends at times working by day and trying to find the right guy the Vietnam War had ended which was great then onto gas shortages and the televised soap opera Watergate Lived at home for awhile and paid rent to my parents a blue collar working girl whose low salary was apparent would have loved to have been more like Mary Tyler Moore with my own apartment and friends knocking at my door That decade on Long Island I had my share of ups and downs a little flighty female trying to find my way around a realistic dreamer trying to row merrily along in life's stream on occasion putting my oars down conjuring up new dreams 2-22-19
