[Help] Trying to figure out my path at 53. Updates to this post /post/287069-trying-to-figure-out-my-path-at-53 Thu, 26 Nov 2009 17:50:55 +0100 Reply from jwilton /post/287069-trying-to-figure-out-my-path-at-53#reply-5105214 i started a small business 2 years ago - and guess what? I’m about to go bankrupt. Nothing wrong with the idea - just got the timing wrong. Ah! If we could all see into the crystal ball….. any, my point:Yes I have challenged myself and lived on the edge. I have travelled the world, lived in different countries, had 3 children, lost a son, had cancer, divorced 2 husbands…. but I have learnt that the gifts in life are my children/friends…. they are who comfort me when I am down, give me joy and grief and all those other “feelings” that make me know I am alive.

Tomorrow is always another day - and tomorrow I will walk along the beach, one step at a time and see what the tide brings in.

The adventure is eciting isn’t it?

My grandfather started a cloth business during the Great Depression and it was very successful as people were resorting to making their own clothing.

You’ve got at least 20 years of work ahead of you!
