It's been an interesting time adjusting to 'retirement' after a long career in nursing. Forty odd years actually and the challenge has been to try and figure out who I am. It seems that for the largest part of my life I have defined myself as a nurse. More so than a mother, wife etc - you know all those tags we hang on ourselves and for what reason? I am still learning, still searching, and still evolving I guess. At first it all seemed a little confusing, trying to sort out the what and the who and the like. Now it has become a great adventure. I have so many wonderful models that I have met here on Wordpress. It is amazing how close you can feel to those who brave the pages each day or week or month to share a little of themselves.

Read and commented. Called the Idiot a Liar, how can he be an Idiot with a friend like you. Loved seeing you as Betty Boop. My story of those times. Every month a little gift size box appeared in the steps waiting to be taken up to my mother’s room. Every month I asked if it was for me. “No,” Finally, by older brother told me “Stop asking what that is. You know.” No, I didn’t but about five years later found out. Still no words explaining it all. Things have improved a bit haven’t they?
