On second thought

(I actually started living my life… yep mine….. at the age of 66)

 I feel in line…… caving to the expectations of others contributed…… to a lengthy alcohol and drug addiction…..

to be clear they were my choices…..they said what they wanted and I caved in….. that’s on me

–

I think service to others is a vital component of a healthy successful life…… but not domination by others

yep if I had it to do over ….. I would probably still marry someone insane enough to try it and have an agreement

we do the regular stuff…. family… friends…. Work…volunteering as often as possible

till 50….done

making a conscious effort and choices that would allow that to happen

Spending the rest of our time traveling and doing what we want

it would take a special woman who could do that

to let family have their place but not dominate which totally restricts the “run till you’re done”scenario

I’m fortunate I found someone who is willing to do that lifestyle now…. It’s a sacrifice for her being much younger than I….. but everything has a price

my return to self expansion costs me a fair amount

not being available when others schedule allowed

I’m 8,000 miles away from a place I once called home….. my world 🌎 is bigger…. My smile is wider and my heart is full and my head clear after clearing the brush that was blocking my view

see ya…. Going swimming
