Times they are a changing - and change is a very hard thing much of the time. I suppose I got complacent or just too settled but that pesky change kept coming no matter what. It will be fine . . . that much I'm sure of . . . I am strong and healthy and content (for the most part) with my life.
In any event, things are different - the initial shock was intense, surprising, upsetting . . . I used to be able to talk to my mother . . . that's changed too . . . getting older isn't very much fun most of the time!
We'll see what happens in the future . . . I have wonderful sons, wonderful friends and a wonderful family . . . I'll be fine . . . we all will. In a bright new day . . .
