“This is a new year. A new beginning. And things will change.” — Taylor Swift
August is my birthday month — always a time of deep reflection for me. Looking back on the past year, I am amazed at the incredible changes that occurred a few weeks after my 60th birthday. Thats the topic of my new column in the August issue of Michigan Prime, delivered this weekend in your Sunday Detroit Free Press. You can read the column online here (please flip to page 5).
A very fine piece on aging describing the good and bad things that happen. But in your case it seems more good is coming out of it.
Happy Birthday, Cindy!
A flood is a tough way to be reminded memories are in your heart. And then loosing your mom– That’s a lot of change and emotional work.
It sounds like you’re doing a fine job of moving forward, as difficult as I know that can be. I admire your attitude and focus.
Happy 61st, my friend.
