By Joyce Woods, January 9, 2020 — During this time in my life I am doing a lot of reflection. I have decided to resign from some previous duties (i.e. volunteering at the Germantown Health Center, a friend’s daycare center, and before that a drug and alcohol program in North Philadelphia where I worked as an outreach coordinator). All my life I seem to get involved in everyone’s problems and projects, they always take me in another direction than I originally had in mind. Although after I wander into these different ventures, they do become interesting to me, thus becoming a part of me.
Now it seems all of a sudden I have become a senior. I am trying to have one last hurrah before I run out of time. I’m not down or feeling sorry for myself. I am realistically taking a look at my life’s pattern and realizing why my original dreams very seldom get attended to.
