Hi, Noreen! How wonderful you are healthy in spite of having had breast cancer. I'm sure you're grateful for your health in a way those who've had no health scares may not be. Yes, this is a time of life which causes us to think about hard things like how many years do we have left. And a time when others' ageism can be bothersome. It can also be a fun, fulfilling, meaningful, fully alive time. Mental inspiration? I hope there's much of that here on this site. If you haven't found this Helpful Posts page, you might check it out. How else might I help you?

Yes, a lights on vision provides direction and it’s best not to be super-attached to it. People change. Visions evolve. Life happens. Other clues, signs, possibilities show up or don’t show up.

It is possible to be happy, joyous, and fulfilled after 60! I’m finding more and more examples of women who are doing this. And no evidence of them drinking the kool-aid.

Are there some challenges? Yes. But as you certainly know, Ann, there are challenges at any age.

Put out and let go at the same time? What are we talking about here?Hmmmmm.
I liked the fact that someone, in this case Bonnie, feels that we can fell happy joyous and free at 60 and beyond. I will have to drink some kool aide to get on this page!

Pretty good steps, then, after stepping out in the desired direction, I often need to accept that the results may not happen, may be slower in coming, or life might change my direction altogether. I aim to ‘put out’ and let go’ at the same time …
