You are younger now that you will ever be. Do yourself a favor and give up the age thing with numbers. And, if I may be so bold, remove the "What if's" and see what happens.....
Yeah, I actually follow that advice and wisdom more often than not; mainly used it as a rhetorical device there. BUT, your point is well taken and a good reminder on how to live a life free from regret. I love that sentiment about being as young as I’ll ever be. In the past, I’ve tacked it into: “today, you are as old as you’ve ever been, and as young as you’ll ever be. Which one will you stay focused on?”
I hear parts of Mexico have very affordable cost of living expenditures. Know anyone who could talk me into a retirement there???
Come for a visit and see for yourself. We visited 10-12 times over 20 years and “finally” landed where we are and where we first visited. Groceries and gas are about the same but rentals and sales are half and medical care which is very good is much less as are prescription drugs for those who need them. As for which I focus on, I am aware of growing older and grateful to still be growing, So that’s what I focus on, growing through learning and staying active. Did you see my earlier post, “Why We Moved to Mexico” ? It’s not for everyone.
Being and becoming are my two B words. This has been an 11 year process for me. Really glad to be in this space and feel the interconnected ripples. 🙏📿☺️
Badass Kert. I love this. That’s da wrap.

100% resonate with this Kert — it took a bit of time for me, after we sold the business, to really believe “being is doing!”
I hear grandkids help in that regard. And quite a lot too!
Absolutely 💙
I enjoyed this very much, Kert. Nice!!
Thank you my friend!

You are always so positive and encouraging Marjorie! Thank you.
I really love this concept of " I’m so busy Being"!
This should be how we all live.
But no- we have been tricked into lives of doing, and doing and doing!
And most of us have forgotten how to "Be"!
Thanks for the reminder Kert
