grow older better

  • Thoughts on being a grown up…..

    As I have aged, I realized that while others say I never figured out what I want to do when I am a “grown-up” – at now almost 68 I finally decided what to do when I am a grown up. My decision is that I do not ever have to make that decision…

    I never have to decide. Why pick one thing when there is so much to do that expands our minds?

    Can you start a new career?
    Can you turn a fun hobby into a money maker?
    Can you move to a new location where you do not know anyone?
    Can you ski? travel? bicycle? etc?

    The answer to all these questions is: SURE! Why not?

    We use so little of our minds that there is lots of space left for all manner of new stuff..

    So go ahead and span into the next stages of your life !

  • Working "later" in life

    Earlier this year, Yahoo Inc. conducted a poll which indicated that 2/3 of Americans would like to be in business for themselves and many of those already “older” said that one is never too old to launch a business.

    And were these respondents going to do this business this for money? Nope – they said they wanted to do something they loved or to be their own boss.

    Interesting. Older Americans are still wanting to work – 2/3 of us is a LOT of older people. And as we are living longer, we old folk are going to be possibly working for a long time – AFTER we retire from our previous careers. Does that mean we did not love our careers or that we are so adaptable and interesting and interested that we can tackle a whole new career in later life and make a go of it?I myself have had many “careers” and now I am into an even newer one [my glyconutrient business] and back into what was once a hobby [photography] and I’m now making money at it….

    I love getting older – we can make changes in our lives without all the angst that we might have had in our 20’s or 30’s…..
