My life has changed quite a bit. I used to do pilates, abs workouts, and water aerobics at the rec center that my students go to. I loved to travel. I loved being independent. I was not afraid.

Now I will be retiring in one year, have trouble just walking a few blocks, and worry about everything way too much.

I would describe myself as being content with my life about 50% of the time. I guess I am a glass half empty kind of gal.
