I am a writer. I have always been a writer and it is only in my later years, with the help of a lap top that I was able to&nbsp; produce the material that I now publish. If I could go back and start again, I would have done this years ago. My regrets are few, but not writing sooner is one of them. I am almost 70 years old. This is my defining year.&nbsp; It is a difficult plateau for women. We pass from almost old to most definitely old...., older....elderly.....anyway....no longer 69. <br /> <br /> I have a hard time believing that I have lived to be my age. I have a hard time believing that I still feel young. I am sorry that I did not have more time with the ones that I loved..now gone But I am happy for the time that we did share.&nbsp; I would like to spend more time learning and less time forgetting. I cannot get back the time which I wasted , but I hope to make more time for the that which is yet to be done. I believe that each day is unique and it brings opportunity if we allow ourselves the time to look. <br />
