6 months later
Before 2023 ended, I was busy writing a newsletter focused on my town and its development. That's not my life anymore.
I’m calling this site DoOver50 because not only am I doing it over again, I’m doing it just after I turned 50. Just six months ago: I owned a house, lived my husband and adult children, had a garden, walked my dogs around the same spots daily, neighbors who I visited regularly, wrote a weekly newsletter about my town and lived in the suburbs. All of it is gone except the adult children and the dogs. I don’t want to get into what caused the end but when my world blew up, I could no longer stay in the family home. It caused my severe anxiety and started sending me into a depression.
I’ll expand more on my life as time continues but for now, I just want to write again. I miss it. I miss sharing. This won’t be a diary of “woah is me” but more of here’s what I learned through this journey.
