Didnt go to work today. Just couldnt face the hassle and fight to keep from being fired over something that was the computers fault. And since I have to go to the doctor tomorrow anyway. Decided to take today off as well. I am 60 years old and I think it might be time to reinvent myself. But into what that is the question. And as I pay my rent by the week I cant make plans by the month to buy me some time. I just know I am really tired of doing the same old same old that I have been doing for years. I feel like my life is wasting away and I have been alone and have had no one to count on ever even when I was married. So that is nothing new. I dont know reinventing means I have a month or two that I dont have to worry about rent and can think about the options. As I see it really there is no option to reinvent. I guess that is my answer. You cant reinvent a different life when everything is the same. Oh well just a thought

Repeat: "I am 60 years old and I think it might be time to reinvent myself." You don't have to 're-invent'...just 'BE'... I think I know what you mean...At 60, it is time to start thinking of yourself! Great! x

I know what you mean, I really do. If I didn't have kids who depend on me I would completely change my life.

Actually, the reinvention will be limited as I am broke and there is no one that stands by me or in the gap

maybe if you try for what you really want, then doors will open. But maybe deciding what you want is the hard bit. It sounds like time you had some good firtune tho.

Yes, I think deciding what I want is not easy. I think I feel like I wasted a lot of years not doing things that I liked but then again I wasnt in the place I am to know what I was missing. Does that make since. But, I think I do need to reinvent myself. So I am going to try and see what is actually fisable. I am to old to dream about what will be I need to be doing. I think this is the wrong time to decided that but that is were I am I think

I read that we tend to regret the things we have not done, rather than the things we have done. So yes, now is the time to be doing, and not just wishing.
You don't have to reinvent your whole self, just realise the potential of the oneself you are.-

I think you are right about that. And I do feel a little more hopeful tonight. And I do have a lot to be thankful for. It is just hard some times with all the crap that goes on

But you can be whoever you want to be inside your head and you can go wherever you want inside your head too and whenever things get tough you can retreat inside and imagine a different life - not the same thing I know, but it helps me sometimes. Love the cogs x
