An enduring quote tells us:
“It’s never too late to be what you might have been.”
Post-illness you can recover yourself along with your mental health.
My persistent belief at mid-life is that you shouldn’t stop doing new things until you’re carried out on your last day.
Make every day a celebration.
I wanted to talk about the necklace in the photo in the last blog entry. The woman took it out of the counter to show me. The tag read Murano.
“I’ll take it,” I snapped because Murano is a famous glass maker from Venice, Italy.
I had bought a Murano millefiore glass bead necklace on a tour of their factory.
The point of this blog entry being that you should not hesitate to give yourself little perks to feel better.
“The Road to You” should be paved with kindness and compassion.
Be not afraid to act and dress a little bolder to make a statement:
“I’m here. I have breasts. Get over it.”
You owe it to yourself to be happy. By expressing yourself through how you style yourself in clothes you can also make others happy.
I’m the resident Fashionista at the poetry readings.
You can absolutely reclaim the good from your life before illness and discard the rest.
I’ve decided at 53 that I want to channel the time when I was a disc jockey on FM radio in the 1980s.
This reinvention started by wearing the outfit in the photo in the last blog entry.
In the coming blog entry I will talk about in more detail about reclaiming yourself after illness strikes.
I’ll talk about exerting your power to be who you are without fear of reprisal.
Tying this in to setting goals in mid-life to get more of what you want out of life.
You can absolutely use your personal history as the springboard for making changes at mid-life.
It truly is never too late to be what you might have been.
