My husband died a year and a half ago and my family has suggested that I move from this large apartment. I am not doing that because I love walking through every room to reminisce on the mementos of our extensive travels and purchases. When sad, I just think how grateful I am for those trips. With my children, nine grandchildren and one great-grand son, at 88 I certainly have a lot to be grateful for.
Keep up your good work with Elder Chicks because so many people depend on you.
Thanks so much for writing, Shirley. And for the example of focusing on good memories. Reaching 88 always includes having faced great challenges along the way; your outlook is inspiring.
So glad you are listening to yourself and not all the good intentioned suggestions to change your life.
