I am visiting Colorado (from CA) for my granddaughter’s college graduation. The town is teeming with young grads smiling, and ready to launch their next beginning.
As I sat and watched the ceremony, a mixture of emotions flooded me -happiness, joy in watching her, and a bit of melancholy and a wishing that I had a do over and could be like them. My time of graduation was lovely, but at that time of my life and, in my particular situation, I felt that I had limited choices and was trapped by my family’s hold on me.
And so, I followed a very long prescribed path with my own particular challenges. And here I am reading about new beginnings.
Thanks for being a “cheerleader” Monica. I know that I am changing and with each little shift of thinking and letting go something new is emerging, and I am gaining inner freedom.
I appreciate your sharing about technology and your fun experience. I’ve had frustrating encounters— one step at a time. 🤪
WHAT a rush of encouragement and fresh air! It's SO tempting at our age to feel that it's too late, or we're too old, etc.. I battle that all the time. Thanks for the reminder that we are capable of doing more than we know and might actually find it thrilling!
Love this Monica, thanks! I’ve been using Edits, through IG, but this sounds even better! And that fear of technology thing is real for me, but yes, conquerable, with the tight attitude of patience and willingness to keep getting better!
To be sure I learn something new each time I edit a vid. I still remain astonished that me at age 70 am sitting here doing the very thing that felt so out of reach to me when I was a young women
Fear picked the wrong woman to mess with😆 You turned 7 days of fear into inspiration for everyone else.
