Hi to everyone! I’m new, and excited to have found a place with other’s in my age bracket! Seems most folks my/our age have run a gamut of experiences that, unless you’ve gone thru it, you don’t quite get it. I love my younger 40 something friends, but they often don’t understand the different perspective that, I, at least, have, having hit my 50’s. Makes a difference in a lot of decision making and life evaluations. And because I’m currently going thru some tough times, I’m hoping I can find some insight and support. Happy New Year!
