I find it is getting harder and harder to sit down and write a blog post.
Of course, for the past two weeks I was busy with my friend Don who was on vacation here.
He is still working, not eligible for retirement until next year -- five and a half years younger.
Does that qualify me for cougar status?
Well, we had a good time together and even talked a bit about next steps for the relationship.
And now I feel a slight bit blue because he has gone back home.
I did have a meeting with the poetry group I belong to here. There have been some people who came and went over the past five years that I have been involved, but a certain core group has become a very important base for me as part of my Florida life. My VT writing group is equally as important to me.
A week ago the church service was all music with brief essays on the theme of finding home. It has haunted me since because I started reflecting on that unsettled feeling around transition times. Do I know where my home is? Most of the time it is where I am at the time, but when I need to make the change I find it getting harder and harder to be pulled in two directions.
I think it is time for reflection and decision.

It sounds like you had a wonderful visit. I know the feeling of being pulled in different directions, my life is at one of those moments. Good luck with your decision.
ReplyDeleteAnyone near retirement can't be jail bait, so cougar works.
ReplyDeleteI have been chatty lately but generally find it harder to sit down and write also. My, you do have a situation that pulls you in a lot of directions - all good.
ReplyDeleteYou should do as the spirit moves you!
ReplyDeleteI sit down as my knee is sore!!!
Have fun with your life.
I have no good advice. At least your choices are all good ones.
ReplyDeleteYou have some good options open to you.
ReplyDelete5-1/2 years difference in age is quite impressive. My husband is 3 years younger, but he looks older. My friend's wife was 9 years older than him. Sometimes, age makes a difference as people get older. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteThe Soul does as the Soul wants. We are just along for the ride. All will work out for the best. Choose wisely!
ReplyDeleteHome is where Rick is for me.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with these decisions and choices.
It is very nice that you have choices, You cougar you!
I think as we get older, age makes less of a difference. If you were 19 and he was 14 that might be cause for raised eyebrows. Now--not even noticeable. Just enjoy. Could you go visit him?
ReplyDeleteNo labels...just a woman having a good time with a dear friend. You go girl:-)
