Life has thrown a few curve balls at me, as it does to everyone. I never expected that I would live to old age without issue, but I just thought I had more time. More to time to work, achieve, travel, time to save, time to plan my future. My life isn’t over, but my health just hasn’t improved like I expected it to. Now at 60, it feels like this train is riding the brakes and I have had to make some tough decisions.
So….enough of this sob story. I’m no longer able to work full time in my previous career and like most everyone else on the planet, this will make a huge impact on me physically, emotionally and financially.
That 90’s Ranch has grown on me and I, and my family have invested time and resources into this humble home. So the plan going forward is to keep working and maintaining her, but also to understand that I was never going to live here forever. I’m working on staying flexible and open while navigating several health obstacles.
I opened an Etsy Shop where I sell wreaths. It gives me purpose and a creative outlet which I have enjoyed thoroughly and if I can only work an hour or two a day, it’s okay. That 90’s Ranch is now filled with faux florals and greenery and has new purpose as well.
Is this my Lemonade? Maybe. Maybe not. I’m gonna find out.
