Do you remember talking with older adults and hearing them say, “In my 30’s, 40’s, 50’s,” this happened? I remember thinking how Old they were, why do they refer to stating the decades? Now that I’m in, my soon to be, mid-70’s I talk just like those Old people! LOL I get it now- when you have only lived 2 or 3 decades you talk-in the present. As we age it seems the decades are like bookmarks of our life. Who new? I’m a big fan of reading, I have lots of bookmarks. 😊 My grief ( Lee left us October 2016) is always with me, I think (Maybe) I’m managing it better. I can have, “nothing going on days,” on my calendar and not freak out! Progress right? Finding it easier to not just be,”Busy,” to enjoy, embrace my life. Good health, freedom to carry on seems to becoming more steady these days. For the family and friends I have that are in the new grief stage – may your days be lighter and know that I care.
