This is my first blogging ever!  about time....I am excited about this class as I am contemplating the second half of my life - empty nesting right around the corner, set in my profession and wondering the next steps, big house too much work for just me, always wanted to live in sunshine - should I move?, education - am I too old to consider continuing (cost vs benefit), I am confident in myself and really don't care what others think (to a certain extent, that is:) but there are always that nagging history that still affects my actions and thoughts, the conscious can't change what it doesn't know (unconscious), set firm boundaries - don't set them after they are crossed......musings or rambling???   later.....
