After a woman has spent the bulk of her adult years trying to be everything to everyone, she begins to really consider her life. She begins to explore interests she has had for years - begins to realize she cannot take her health for granted (in other words she becomes winded when she walks and has some new aches and pains) - and begins to take more time for herself.
Therefore, over two years ago, I began attending an evening Weight Watchers meeting and then going out for dinner and drinks with a couple of my friends. We are very different, and yet I sense the same desire to explore our own interests more. One of my friends is very actively studying health and aging issues and has really improved her health. My other friend is very active in genealogy, and is taking a writing class so that she can share the stories of her family. Me, I am not nearly as focused as either of my friends, but have always had an interest in writing. As we sat at the table and talked over tapas and martinis, I recalled reading an ad in the Mail Tribune, inviting women to submit articles to Joy Magazine. We discussed this, and made a pact that by the end of April we will each have written an article for submission. I am very excited about this - now I just need to decide on a topic!
