Those of you who know me well, know that I've been through quite a lot lately and am still struggling.
I retired July 1 and impulsively decided to move to Nova Scotia with my daughter, Kaitlyn and her fiance.
Barely a week before we left, my younger brother died quite suddenly. New Year's day a friend died unexpectedly. And sadly, on Tuesday, Kait's fiance returned home to England on his own.
Life can be tough sometimes.
I never gave myself a chance to figure out who I was as a retiree before I moved. So I struggle to figure out how much of my sense of sadness is the loss of work identiy and how much is loss of my entire home base "world".
What I am leading up to is yesterday's horoscope for me which read:
"Something will happen today, tomorrow or over the weekend that has a profound effect on your beliefs and opinions. You may never took at the world around you quite the same way gain -- and that must surely be a good thing."
Oh really ?
I'm going back to bed.
Wake me on Monday.
Hang in there Sybs.. you will figure it out..
