Were we crazy?
Some people thought getting a puppy was not the thing to do as empty nesters.
My beloved had just retired and the kids were grown and flown as they say.
It was time to be free, travel and not have anyone to worry about but ourselves.
She is by far the best decision we could have made and I can’t imagine what we would’ve missed out on if we had listened to other people’s opinions on what we should or shouldn’t do at this stage in life.
What’s the last great decision you’ve made?

Jet lag didn’t exist when I was in my 20s.
It’s hard to believe that I was able to commute to Europe when I was a flight attendant for Pan Am.
I would work a round trip flight to Italy, France, Germany, Spain or somewhere else, come back to JFK, hop on the next flight to Spain for a few days & then back to NY for my next flight.
I feel like I’m just now overcoming the exhaustion from my recent trip to Italy.
For those of you who travel frequently, what are your tips?

It’s not Italy, but it’ll do.Now if I could just keep my eyes open after 7:30pm, I might be ok

Have you dreamed of buying a home abroad, maybe with an eye on your retirement?

Do you feel invisible?

Current situation:
Towing a U-Haul filled with furniture to fill our daughter’s new house.
I’m truly in awe of her. She had a dream and made it happen.

There won’t be a new episode out this week, but I’d love it if you’d take a moment to listen or re-listen to a past episode.

Have a dreamy weekend!

You’re too old to

Travel by yourself
Wear a bikini
Learn audio engineering
Chase your dreams
Here’s my public reminder that no matter what external forces (and sadly, sometimes internal forces) say, we can do anything & everything at any age.

Mixing up Midlife

A place for women who are in their middle years and who are moving past the point in life where they are care-taking everyone.

We are willing to challenge ourselves and support each other with Big Ideas- things that we’ve said we’ve always wanted to do or were curious about trying, but didn’t have the time to.
