This time of life highlights the balance of my age; my past takes up more space than my future has left- and so be it. My life is fulfilled by family- dear husband, three new generations- and I'm the matriarch to whom they come- I keep the fire burning bright for them- our past, present, and beyond. Creative arts- poetry and painting shaped me. Yet, my strong business flair hewed fine work skills- fulfilling retirement. I am learning to let go, slow down, and enjoy things as they are- no more tears or mournfulness for the sad times that darkened my days- because I've been blessed far past my expectations.
