So I have a job in a field I'm not really all that interested in, but which more or less pays enough to live on, and try to stay focused on my hobbies, which are more rewarding.EscapeVelocitynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953607740696523736.post-4475441460004388822011-03-12T11:59:42.893-08:002011-03-12T11:59:42.893-08:00Wow, that's fantastic.

She had just been to the doctor and came home feeling like the belle of the ball:) She said she knew so many of the patients in the waiting room....again old students that she knew and that one person commented that at age almost 90, she was in the best shape of anyone in the office....she liked that!<br /><br />Susan MurphyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14383545906008105043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953607740696523736.post-47813138357575782502011-03-11T06:21:48.900-08:002011-03-11T06:21:48.900-08:00I would guess that some people think I am a career...I would guess that some people think I am a career girl. I'm not. I would have given it all up in an instant to be a mother. But, it just never happened for me. I didn't meet "the one" until I was 40. And then we tried, but quit after my second miscarriage. Sometimes I thought my career interferred with my ability to meet the right guy. And I will always wonder if the problem getting pregnant was just my age or if there was more to it. But, I can't turn back the clock, I can only move on and make the most of what I do have - and what I have is nice too.Kate Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03085332596007868197noreply@blogger.com
