I love reading all the ElderChick posts by women my age. Such a varied, interesting and involved group. Many are writing memoirs as I am and if we all get published just think what an education we are giving the rest of society! No more “invisible” older women!
Ten years ago, right after I retired as a nurse practitioner, I began to take my “hobby” of writing seriously. I have been lucky to get some of my stories published. My memoir about my nursing career is almost completed. Now I am learning about the rapidly changing aspects of publication.
I am grateful for my energy, health and curiosity that permits me to enjoy this season of my life. (Feel free to visit my blog at http://nursingstories.org/).
Love the notion of curiosity! It’s keeping open to new experiences or, as one of my older sisters said, “just show up” and be surprised at what you may find.
