New Year Transitions and Confessions
Hello….And Happy New Year !! I hope the New year is off to a good start for you!
I’m BACK… after a rather lengthy, and unplanned absence 😊 I didn’t intend to “ghost” the podcast, but that’s certainly what happened. I was shocked, and a little embarrassed to realize the last Podcast I put out was in October….early October of 2022.
So much has happened since then….in the world, in our nation (the US) …. It seems there’s a never-ending occurrence of TRAGEDY that is plaguing our Nation, and I’m sure in all of our personal lives as well
I’ve personally gone through a couple of TRANSITIONS since the fall…. Not the least of which was turning 65 ….. I guess that makes me an official “senior citizen” …. I’m now on Medicare (talk about mind boggling) …. It seems rather surreal to me….. 65 sounds like such a serious age….. I won’t say that 65 sounds “old”, but it does sound rather “mature”, or what I like to call “seasoned”. And, I dare say I have become rather well “seasoned” in these 65 years! Although my body sometimes feels achy and stiff, I feel young at heart 😊, and my mind seems young, at least in the way I look at things and the things that excite me and get my creative juices flowing!
Wisdom is probably what I value the most of this age. I certainly don’t know all of the answers, and sometimes I’m not sure I understand the questions lol. Life has brought me many lessons, some quick and easy, and others that have been drawn out and downright hard. Through these experiences I like to think I’ve gained some Wisdom. With Wisdom comes a sense of knowing and understanding….. what I know and understand is that the Universe ALWAYS has our back… we just have to pay attention, and sometimes we just need to get out of our own way. Another thing I know for sure is that I still have a lot to learn!
Aside from Transitioning to “official Senior Citizenship” I’ve also made a work transition since the last podcast.
For anyone who has listened to previous podcasts you may remember that I’ve been talking about making a job change at the 1st of the year, this year 2023. I’m very happy to say that this has happened. I’ve changed from doing Geri Psych consultations at Long Term Care and Independent Living facilities to working in an outpatient Mental health private practice.
I’m glad to back in this type of setting. Although I learned a lot and am glad I had the experience of working with the Geriatric population, and their families, I feel that I’m back to where I like being the most, outpatient. I’ve been with this practice on a very part-time basis for the past 5 or 6 years. It’s good to be here with expanded hours, and to be able to work with others in a collegial way.
What about you? What Transitions did you go thru last year? Are you in a transition now? Are there changes you’re planning or have in the works? I would really enjoy hearing about your Transitions and Changes. Remember, you can always email me at ladema@embracetherwrestle.net, or you can go to the website: www.embracethewrestle.net and leave a voice message there. Just go to the Contact page on the website, you’ll see an orange button that will allow you to record a message 😊 Isn’t that cool??? And no worries, I’m the only one that can listen to your message ….
So, I’m 65 and I just made a job change… I do realize this is the age at which many people are thinking about retirement or have already retired. But I’m still not done! Lol I feel there’s still a lot for me to do.
My plan overall plan remains the same… to continue to grow and expand The Willow Group… my business. This podcast is one arm of that business. My plan all along has been to add a variety of services to the business, all along th
