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.

Kids might look like they’re not listening or have selective hearing but they take it all in
……. btw ..I and my computer have both been receiving care and attention and I am pleased to say I can now read and comment again. Long may it last…….

So grateful for the reblog. I know we all go break the little laws–I speed and much to my husband’s chagrin have garnered only one speeding ticket in my life time. He taught me sons to drive as soon as the could reach the pedals much against my wishes and one repaid him be sneaking out one night and going for a joy ride that ended with a minor crash. The kid worked a year to pay us for the repairs. I learned from several friends that this was what many kids were doing. Life went on, lessons learned.
Thank you again. Kat

I am glad you both you and your computer are good to go! Yes as my folks used to say..little pitchers have big ears. Very popular saying at the time and took me years to figure it out

Hi Kat, always happy to reblog you. Good for you obligating that child to repaying. Most folks, perhaps I am exaggerating, most folks I know would let it go.
