What a difference a couple of years can make! For most of my life, there were blind parents, brother and sister, then husband, then three kids - meaning I rarely could find time for just me. Now, since I lost my husband a couple of years ago, and the children are grown and in their own homes (with 2 grandsons), for the first time in my life I do have time for me. And while I'm not crazy about HOW I got here (by becoming a widow) I do have to say that I'm never bored and love being able to do whatever I want when I want (except for working full time, and taking care of grandsons once a week).
