This is lovely - I hope somehow you can save the first part to read again when you are hopefully, retired at about 70. It reminded me how blessed I am now, even though I worked very hard for many years, persons my age are just beginning to retire now. I miss some aspects of work, and like you blessed to have a few jobs I loved. Some of my fellow retirees found out they do like working after all, but I am enjoying being creative even if it’s just me and a paint brush, and not the creativity and dynamics of lighting and working with directors, creative teams and crews. The pandemic closed our doors as well, but now many are working hard to recovery, but also with new outlooks, values and reflections that life, and even breathing, is precious., and time is wonderful to have, and to listen to your heart and body when you can - gifts. You always word things so well - I hope and pray you find all you wish for and more.

I resonate with all of this. I'm trying to re-build a life that honors me and my soul. After the unexpected end to my 27 year relationship, I've been diving deep. Excavating. Grieving. Re-doing. I wrote and published a book, I'm making art. I'm living on faith and belief in myself and the Universe conspiring for me. Wishing you the best. ❤️
