So after reading your mention of 750 words, I went over there and quickly knocked out my three pages. It's a wonderful site.

Love your focus on the purple - being K-State die-hards, most of our wardrobes are purple to start with. :)<br /><br />When I turned 50, my sister passed on a phrase that she was given at the same age - "finish well". That has become my goal for the "second half" - to finish well. I think you are well on your way with the changes and reinventions in your life.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your private thoughts.Tamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16094928747500699123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-73066680842437352732012-04-07T05:49:35.679-05:002012-04-07T05:49:35.679-05:00What a great post.

Really taking stock, and trying new things, and finding connection again to meaning in your life. This was fabulous to read about, your journey. <br /><br />I do love your new photo, as well! <br /><br />Take care, and I hope you continue to find what you love and deepen your connection to your life.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095246748581382752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-32046461269393074912012-04-06T11:38:09.567-05:002012-04-06T11:38:09.567-05:00I really love the poem "When I Grow Old I Sha...I really love the poem "When I Grow Old I Shall Wear Purple," and a few years ago, I printed it out and framed it. It's hanging in my bedroom, where I've used a lot of colors like red and purple, among others.<br /><br />What great journeys you are taking.

I love the fact that you've released yourself from the shackles of guilt! We, as women, do that to ourselves and we shouldn't! Your dreams have inspired me to create my own dream board. I too wish to travel more and to live more in the moment! You're such an eloquent writer that I have no fear that others beside family will want to read your stories. I know that I would buy your book about your two-week excursion to France. <br /><br />All the best!<br />StaciStacihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07600979915661464945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-33748214397323834382012-04-05T15:01:48.929-05:002012-04-05T15:01:48.929-05:00A very touching post and you sound full of peace a...A very touching post and you sound full of peace and contentment.

I am inspired by your journey of reinvention. I think in my mind, that is what growing older is all about.

I think it is so important that we (women) take the time to do things for just <i>us</i> sometimes. We are normally the consummate caretakers of everyone around us and I think it is only when we stop and feed our souls, search our dreams and reach out to learn something new...that we really become whole. I hope your journey of self-discovery is just beginning!!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14332796775305098552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-14586945061128482262012-04-05T08:20:19.827-05:002012-04-05T08:20:19.827-05:00Change can be a good thing!
