Through The Looking Glass

December17

Sometimes, looking at life is like peering through a clear window and other times it’s like looking through glass tile, where the images are blurry and distorted. This time of year is particularly difficult, because the season is really for the little ones. Once they have grown and gone, the nest feels mighty empty and cold.

I prefer to look at this season as Yule rather than Christmas, and intend to celebrate very low key. There’s too much commercialization anyway, and that stuff wears mighty thin. It’s easy to look back and remember old Christmases as the epitome of all that is good, when in truth they probably aren’t. Still, I’ll hold the good memories close and hope they warm the nest a little.

Welcome to Over Forty and Loving It! We’re just getting started, but we’re bringing women over forty the information they need and want. With our hormones deserting us, our kids leaving the house, we believe women should look forward to this stage of their lives. It’s not always pretty, not always easy, but we feel if you just keep an open mind, along with a wicked sense of humor, it can be fun.

You might be wondering, who are we? We’re two old friends who have nearly a hundred years of experience between us. We’ve both worked as nurses, as writers, love music and enjoy traveling whenever possible.  We know the joys and devastation of relationships. So here we are! Enjoy!
