A month or so ago, I made the decision to discontinue memberships that no longer seemed to serve my interests and needs. It was a bit surprising to find that I had forgotten about some of them and that I have been paying for years for some!
I also made the decision this year to restrict my TV viewing to the living room. Sometimes it still feels strange not to retire to the bedroom and turn the TV on…but, to be honest, I am no longer sure where the clicker to that TV is! Instead, I read or do a crossword game on my phone, which never lasts as long as any TV show…and, thus, I end up going to sleep much earlier than I used to with the TV on.
And, I removed the FB app from my phone. At first, it was a way of gaining back my time, which I was spending reading posts of every kind on my FB feed. But, I now find that, when I have a quick comment to share, it is no longer available…and that I have to make a particular trip to the computer room to log on and post. And, most often, I choose not to do so. And, thus this blog was reborn.
I am still a work in progress. I am still discovering who I am. Yet, I am a bit more at peace about being me, an older woman, living alone with a dog who has as strong a stubborn streak as I, and unable to see or predict the future, but willing to just live the present.
Some of us walk alone in this world…some of us walk in tandem. Whatever the path, may each of us find joy and peace.
