I got married at 18 and had two kids in my early 20s. Then by 29 I was a divorced, single mom.

I spent my whole life trying to please everyone else and putting everyone’s needs ahead of my own. I’m now 72 and I can honestly say that I’m relieved and happy that I no longer have to live my life trying to make everyone else happy. I have some good friends, good neighbours and I’m active in my community.

I rarely feel lonely because I have a lot of interests snd hobbies.
