And so glad you popped over to my blog earlier so I could pop onto yours.<br />Admittedly, I kind of freaked out when I turned fifty - then I thought, I probably have another 30 years or so of life in me, and boy oh boy, 30 years is a lot of time!<br />Oh and my handwriting is sooo bad now; but I still take the time to write postcards and notes to friends and family, even though it takes awhile, making sure that it's legible! ;)Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06394558427981331885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1970111941968077431.post-54498079129789642392014-05-10T06:03:29.660-07:002014-05-10T06:03:29.660-07:00No moaning here, LL.

I've finally figured out what I want to do, and I'm not sure I have enough time to do it.

I had intended to write a song that would be picked up by a recording artiste and would be appreciated by thousands of other people but it suddenly seemed that that would probably not happen. But I have done lots of other things since retiring from teaching as my blog shows - only I feel the time slipping away now and some of that old frustration remains.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1970111941968077431.post-52623905299475662812014-05-09T05:53:44.348-07:002014-05-09T05:53:44.348-07:00Thank you so much for your comment today, on my po...Thank you so much for your comment today, on my post. I'm not sure what numerical age you are speaking about, but some of your points are very good reminders. I have not retired...and, am well past the age of so-called retirement. I agree with you, I have given up on some things I will never get better at doing. I still feel like I have mountains to climb....just taking my time at doing it! This week end, I will take some time to read more of your posts.....thanks againMeggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16512116319930586068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1970111941968077431.post-31950392222489372762014-05-08T20:04:14.334-07:002014-05-08T20:04:14.334-07:00I like your explanation, Joanne.
