There is nothing better than finding yourself and who you really are especially when you're older. It took my husband divorcing me at 53 after a 33 year marriage to finally find me. I was such a people pleaser especially trying to be who he wanted me to be. I had to ask myself after the divorce who I am. I had forgotten. Now I can be me and I really don't care what others think. It is total freedom. 🤗

@@uanditopia2239I think you may have misunderstood. I don't feel victimized at all. I am currently living in a very comfortable place , I have a job that not only makes me enough money to live on plus a little extra it Feeds my soul. I assist disabled elderly veterans to Be able to access the community and get the things they want or do things they find enjoyable. It is currently 7 days a week because the covid restrictions have lifted and these guys have been waiting 2 years to be able to go out and do something. They were literally restricted for 2 years From going out of the unit they live in. So because of their new found liberty The demand for somebody to help them do so is a little high at the moment. My envy was more based on What comes next I'm a forward thinking person. I am looking forward to a chapter of my life where I can wander again and explore. When I was younger I left the country I went to England and did a lot of traveling from there while I stayed and worked there and raised a child. I came back here specifically to honor my parents and help them have quality a life. They traveled in an R V 6 months a year for the last 28 years!! They had a large 5th wheel and enjoyed going all over the United States, Canada and Alaska. They chose to stop doing that because of their now physical limitations. They want to do other things now. They want to spend the money they have on other Vacations that don't require them having to " move house" as my mom calls it and travel a lot in a vehicle. I think they're pretty much experts on what that life is all abut and although they did enjoy it For the most part they will both gladly tell you the not fun parts of that lifestyle that they don't miss now. There does come a point Where traveling becomes more painful ,stressful, EXPENSIVE and hard to schedual around various doctors appointments around traveling. So they are doing other things they enjoy now. I certainly hope you get to go on some trips if that's what you want!! I am planning on going as a solo because although I am very close to my daughter she Has a life of her own and is not gonna be able to take me. I do not want to just sit staring at the TV and grow old Alone , Bored out of my mind without any more excitement in life then visiting a senior center once a week. I can't think of anything more depressing than that. So I'm Looking ahead and thinking about when I do have free time what will I do with it. If God grants me time Well then I might as well do something with it . I might as well go enjoy Exploring beautiful places and things that interest me. Who knows....Perhaps those travels will lead me to some place that I want to stay awhile and be involved in something that is purposeful and I enjoy... Best wishes!

I love Regina and her van!
