I've been working in some capacity since I was 12 years old but always for other people. I won't stop working but I'll be working for myself. What i look forward to the most is being my own person. I imagine I have a hard drive in my head of a few thousand terabytes and most of my brain was dedicated to work at the expense of more important entities like family and friends. I look forward to listening to people with all of my attention instead of only about 5%. It's been hard to be "present" over the years because of always thinking about the next day of school.

Now isn't that the truth!! I come from sturdy, patient peasant stock who have endured many hardships over the centuries. <br />Thank you so much for your perceptive comments Jennifer - and the impact my resiliency has had on my daughter is already evident. I thanked her as we arrived at the airport for being such a good support to me over the last couple of months and she said at first she thought she shouldn't go to Australia but then she knew I was ok and had survived through the worst of it.Jane Harrisonhttp://www.lifebeginsatretirement.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893269455295692105.post-73403216407265205862014-01-18T11:33:59.439-05:002014-01-18T11:33:59.439-05:00Our drive was FAR from uneventful (our highway was...Our drive was FAR from uneventful (our highway was closed for miles and miles due to a tractor trailer collision) but we still made it on time thankfully.Jane Harrisonhttp://www.lifebeginsatretirement.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893269455295692105.post-22241397874135762302014-01-18T11:32:59.089-05:002014-01-18T11:32:59.089-05:00I'd better look up a few dirty jokes - HAH!

I'm sure there are lots of hard moments, but your positive spirit is very impressive. <br /><br />Two years ago my stepfather abruptly told my Mom that he was leaving her after 30 years. I was very worried about her, as she loved being married (and was 65 years old). Well -I was totally wrong - She is such a positive person and has bounced right back (ok, after more than a few tough moments). It has been a very good lesson for me to watch her. <br />I'm sure your demonstration of resiliency will have a similar impact on your daughter.<br /><br />-JenniferJennifernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893269455295692105.post-75242827347543228632014-01-17T17:21:30.115-05:002014-01-17T17:21:30.115-05:00Jane you are awesome at clearing out the junk!
