The Journey
My sister gave me a great visual when I felt overwhelmed by others — you’ve always been the rock, it is time to be a pebble and journey the rivers — just let others troubles pass you by.
I just turned 70 and I’m ready to be free from worry. Left to themselves everyone will survive. Now they think they might need my listening ear and encouragement but it is a habit not a need. The front door is always open but I may not be home.
Travel is the great educator. No matter for a day or a month, it will give me energy. My greatest asset — curiosity — will lead the way. I like meeting new people and hearing their stories. I will never run out of people to meet or places to go.
I am not scared, I’m ready. Time goes so fast when you are sitting still and looking back. Looking forward to the future opens up windows of thought and possibility. I can’t wait to see what I come up with.
