“I wish I had known from the beginning that I was born a strong woman. What a difference it would have made! I wish I’d known that I was born a courageous woman; I’ve spent so much of my life cowering. How many conversations would I not only have started but finished if I had known I possessed a warrior’s heart? I wish I’d known that I’d been born to take on the world; I wouldn’t have run from it for so long, but to it with open arms.”

February Twilight
by Sara Teasdale
I stood beside a hill
Smooth with new-laid snow,
A single star looked out
From the cold evening glow.There was no other creature
That saw what I could see —
I stood and watched the evening star
As long as it watched me.

Last year I put together Me in the Middle of Revealing My Theme ~ #atozchallenge on Lessons Learned in my life. I wanted to reflect on my life and draw from it the positive teaching moments along the way. For 26 days, bloggers posted on a theme using the 26 letters of the alphabet to come up with creative posts. It was very rewarding and I now have it in hard cover to pass on to my family.
So it’s all leading me back to the question of how I feel about turning 75. Here I am ………and I’m still here ……… I’ve arrived to this point in time. What an ‘interesting’ time it is for our country and the world. I’ve never seen anything like it! It reflects the ebb and flow of all the voices and lives that are moving us along to, hopefully, a better world. Now that I have time I want to write about it, learn about it, and maybe create art to express it. I want to enjoy being outdoors and making the most of the good health I have. I’m content with where I’ve come from and where I am today. I’m grateful for the many blessings life has given me. I’ve survived and thrived through a lot, and know I can come through what lies ahead of me. Each year is the ‘best’ year of your life.

We are here to experience as much as we can, to enhance our droplets, and to return them to enrich the whole.
Trip reports, hotspot details, species profiles, ID challenges, and more from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Striving for accuracy in history, economics, geography, education, politics and a little science
Life is a journey
Spreading love, joy, peace, faith & unity
Simpler pages.
One writer's experiences, and battles with words
Poetry for Finding Meaning in the Madness
by Sam Allen
Those from a planet without flowers would think we must be mad with joy to have such things among us!
A blog about midlife, travel, adventure - and all things in between
Cherishing the Past while Celebrating the Present
envisioning & implementing life's next stage
Sharing practical observations of life and money in a 21-st century world
Understanding ourselves and the world we live in.
a beginning, a middle, and an end…but not necessarily in that order
Retired, not expired: words from the after(work)life. And music. Lots of music!
Life, death, and everything in between
Shortness of Breadth
