When I started this new chapter of my life, I presumed there would be pitfalls such as poor health, loss of purpose, being bored, and insufficient money. That was almost four years ago—over 1,300 days. Many things have changed since then. I wondered if my imagined pitfalls were valid.
You've captured so much in this essay. Thank you for sharing. Grief is often all consuming and your story of seeking purpose, learning, and connection is a master class in resilience. ❤️☘️
"So far, those choices have served me well, kept me very busy, and remain my plan for the future." Wow! And that is a fact! You get more done than just about anyone I know, Janice! Thank you for the inspiration.
I know we live states apart, but somehow I feel close to you. (Maybe it’s that old OH- ) 😊 Your newsletters are so heartfelt & honest I trust you — & I care about you. Thanks, Janice, for sharing yourself with us. ❤️
Hi Jan, I how what you mean about feeling close, I suspect that's in part the Ohio connection - same Mid West values, and same occupation - education - or maybe it's that we are both Jans. I love your humor and that you are involved in plays. Take care and thank you.

Thoughtful as always! Thank you!
