The 70s experience

Shirley, Age 70

I turned 70 last November… I also became a widow shortly before I turned 70. It has been quite a year for me. I have both oars in the water now and not sure what the plan will be but, there is a plan!
I work one day a week cleaning a Rectory!
I enjoy cooking, baking, and love eating out but rarely do that now as I did when we were married!
Life is good!

    I’m glad you have got it together. We as older women have to remain strong and able to create a life we can enjoy to be happy. Best of luck to you and all women as we age.
