I also have realized that I am in this deal for ME. It does not matter than my DH is not with me on it because I am quite determined. Approaching 60, it is time for me to put my feet down and look after myself. I still do look after my children since one is still at home with us, but beyond that, I stand up for me. If not now, when?
Schnectedy-
So glad to hear you say this...if there is one thing I can pay-forward to all the IP ladies, {esp the ones who still are on the sunny side of 60}.......this is all about you...and don't EVER EVER feel like that's not OK.
We females really have a way of letting spouse, children, parental, sibling and employment needs rule our roost.
Guilt..usually there is lots of that. No time to really think and prioritize...?? uh-huh. Out of day before you're out of job...
....?? ...That was how my usual days played out...most often.
No freakin' wonder it takes until some of that is off the dashboard to make some room for ourselves. Don't let it get to be too late...I almost missed the bus. And I know as well as any this is easier said than done....I failed miserably at if for way too long.
