It has been more of an adjustment for me than I thought it would be.
Everything Carol wrote was exactly what has been spinning around in my head.
I feel that not only is it important to me, but also to my family and friends to know and maybe appreciate how it feels when your way past "middle age".
If they only knew now what it has taken me a lifetime to learn, I know they could live a much happier life.
I guess everyone has their own journey.
Thanks again for helping me process the rest of mine.
This resonates so much. I try not to waste time regretting many of my choices but I do know if I knew then what I knew now there really would have been many better choices. Turning 60 has been an eye-opener for me. I do not mind getting older—in fact I’m grateful. But still, many adjustments needed!
Happy Birthday Carol! Thank you for sharing your words, here and in workshop. Your writing has taught me so much. I hope I can listen to your "truths" for many years to come.
Amazing -- thank you for sharing. Happy birthday, Carol!! My grandmother is about to turn 96, and every time I hang out with her I try to wrap my head around what it might be like to be fortunate enough to reach that age.
Thank you, Spike for sharing this.
Thank you Carol Buchanan for writing this.
I will be turning 70 in August.
WHAT?!!!!

I'm always better after reading your words, Carol. Happy birthday! You're my favorite (and most upright, in comparison) crone! xoxo
Happy Birthday Carol! You blow me away with your writing. I wish I had met you 50 years ago.

Carol’s words ring beautifully true for me at the age of 57. TRUE!!!
