I don’t think we ever have solid answers to those questions. I know what city makes me happy to live in. I am learning what is and is not acceptable.. Otherwise, It will always be a learning process.

I know what you mean, Dede. I retired when I was about your age. I felt I had lost my identity because I was no longer an Instructional Designer. For the next three years I took on part-time contract work but that turned out to not be very satisfying. I stopped that just under a year ago and have thrown myself into the creative arts. I write poetry, attend a writers group, started taking watercolor classes and started volunteering at a homeless shelter. I feel like I am finding myself and discovering passions that I had put on hold for work. Your situation may be very different from mine, but trying new things and throwing myself into old passions (poetry) has helped me redefine myself. Hope that helps.

I don’t have enough money not to work. I was a stay at home wife and mother. Searched for work since 2013 and have never had an offer. Right now I work 50+ hours as a nanny right now. Next summer I will have to decide if I stay here and continue to be a nanny or follow my kids. I try not to get anxious but I do.
