Anyone from the United States?Hello! Just joined!! I'm very happy to find a community of tech saavy seniors. I am a "young" 68. LOL -- I'm not much for senior get togethers in real life because I don't feel like a senior. I have a new career in my semi-retirement that I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!! I work for Comfort Keepers doing home care. I never imagined the relationships I would form and the wisdom I would glean from helping people every day. In some ways, I think I may have missed my calling!! However, I have learned to look forward to all the possibilities that lie before me instead of focusing on the mistakes I made or the opportunities I missed in the past. I think this may be the most fulfilling time of my life. Love my kids, but they were pretty time-consuming. I am in the process of becoming the best version of "me", and that process is really exciting. My kids are still around, and I see them periodically, but I have my new career and my online business that I am building which keep me connected and moving forward. Just in case you think life has always been rosy--- not so!! In my 50s I discovered that I had been depressed for most of my life. At that point I made it my business to find out everything I could about depression. I became a host in the About.com Depression Chat Room. I went and met in person several of the "chatters" who were local to me!! I know that is not recommended, but I now know I am a risk taker!! All's well that ends well. And actually, one of my fellow hosts became an "adopted" member of my family. He was like an uncle to my kids. Probably my depression experience makes me soooo appreciate the excitement of my current life and the positivity I experience every day. I would love to hear from my "new friends" here.ViewDate:
