Anonymous, Age 69
I turned 69 in October of 2011, lost my husband in 2009, continue to have an exstensive social network of friends, single and couples, but yearn for the companionship of single men and women who are in good health, adventuresome, enjoy living life out of the box and want to test the limits of their interests.
Having gone from my parents house to my husbands house, means most of my adult life has been shared with someone. and thats what I miss most of all. Its the sharing of everyday life, the planning of a day’s outing, vacations, meals, the sadness and joys of just being.
I’m not sure what lies ahead, but I do know that I want my life to have meaning, that everyday should bring some measure of happiness, that being grateful for the smallest event in my day should be a reminder of how lucky I am.
Its a new year, a new beginning and new adventure. so lets begin.
Thank you for this blog. Just discovered it through Time Goes By. I’m brand new to reading blogs, and posting on my own new blog. I titled it “mysixthdecade” only to be reminded that at 61 I’m in my seventh decade! So I guess I’ll be re-titling it in the coming weeks. Glad for those of you pointing the way ahead in your eighth decade!
