Day 14 Coming of Age at 62 | Not accepting being sick

I’ve been sick for a few days. Coughing, ripping my guts out hacking, off and on chills, eyes burning, fatigue and questioning myself as to whether I’m exaggerating what I’m feeling.

Day 13 Coming of Age at 62 | I have a dream. So can you.

Day 8 – Coming Of Age At 62 – Finding Purpose

I finally accepted my purpose in life. I fought it, thinking it wasn’t BIG enough. It came too easily. But when you come of age at 62, it’s time to embrace your calling. Chatting. I’m a natural. I can chat up most anyone. My ideal person just needs to: have a sense of humor (I [...]
