A few weeks ago, I was having lunch with a friend who said a class should be taught for people our age called "What Now?" We're not young any more, but, we're really not old yet either. I thought it might be a good name for a blog.
Thinking about my closest friends who are also of a "certain" age I realize there is a lot to do in the "what now" time. Most of us are still working...teaching school, executive assisting, office managing, and, in my case still conducting walking tours. But, that's just work, even if we do love it.
Many of my friends are grandparenting. I have been enjoying that with surrogate granddaughters for the past 6 years or so and it is super fun.
Times have changed. The "what now" years are quite different for us than for our grandparents. My husband rode his bike 1080 miles (no, it's not a typo, and no, I'm not a cougar ~ he's 6 months older than I am) in the 3 weeks of the Tour de France ~ half as far as those professional bikers.....for twice the amount of time. He is referred to as "he who wishes to reamain unnamed on FB" because I've been known to over share at times. So, while he is the biggest part of my life, he probably won't be the biggest part of my blog.
So, "what now?" I don't know. I'll just watch and see.
