Sixty five for nearly nine months, the question of the next step in my life visits me several times a day. I decided to start a blog to chronicle my decision about when to take the next big step in my life.
When something isn’t going the way I wish at my job; I think – I could give two weeks notice and leave this problem to the next person to occupy this position. Just knowing that I can leave at any time is often enough to relieve the tension of the moment and I soldier on to the end of the day.
I live in a rural area a couple of miles from the nearest village (400 people), 12 miles from the county seat of 5,000 where I work, and 30 miles from a bigger town of 25,000. I worry about retiring and spending time alone, away from people.
Of course, I worry about a lot of things, like writing this blog. Will anyone be interested in the musing of a retirement-age woman? One of the nice things about blogs is that is up the reader to decide if it’s worth their time or to move on.
