Just entering the next phase of my life as a woman...  Maid is long gone and Mother is nearly done.  There should be another phase before That Other One, possible Sexey Grandma, but I like something with 'dynamic' in it, and 'traveling' very likely, and "Free as a Bird..."  I have not yet arrived at  "Bent As An Old Root" or 'Wrinkled as a Crone..."  Oh, god, I said it! 

My three kids are grown and starting lives and families of their own, and can no longer be my excuse for not writing or trying to get published or dammit publishing myself online!  Now I have time to devote to independent income development that I somehow frittered away with parenthood, adding this and that to my kit of skills and knowledges, and working out the mystery of myself to the point of, if not satisfaction, at least, getting bored with it.

Around 50, they say, personality disorders relent somewhat...

The hunger for perfect romance abates a bit...

Parts of me that were in too much of a hurry are slowing down...  Those that could never get going are waking and stretching and discovering movement is good...

If I put it off now, it will not get any easier...

Blogit is one thing I am doing new. 
Marketing my photography is another...  ( http://www.cafepress.com/rovingeye)
I am actively seeking markets for my novel, my poetry, and photos.
I am sharing what I know and believe.
I am finding new things to learn.

addendum 12/06  I have a website now!  http://clreye.googlepages.com/
Some of what you see there came from here...  But wait! there's more...!

Crone, you're going to have to wait your turn...
