This is definitely making my day happier, for this reason - I've always thought of my 57 year old self who recently went back to school to get a degree that would change the direction of my life as in my "2nd act", with the nagging feeling that it took too long and I should have had it all figured out sooner. But you're telling me I'm right on schedule, and perfectly positioned for my very own 3rd act, which is right where I should be (even a year or two ahead of schedule!). That is a wonderful reframing!
Enjoy this year of growing your kindness muscle! I just turned 6-7 (insert hand gesture here) and I am reveling in it. After a year of healing from a couple of surgeries, I know that vitality is a gift. The fact that I do not need a cane any longer has been empowering. I do my best to be kind, especially to myself. When I look for ways to make life more comfortable and gentle for others, I make sure that I do not sacrifice my own health or ease in the process.
I hope this year of rebuilding, forming a self that is poised for your third act, and adjusting to a new home brings you peace, excitement, and enlightenment. Happy 59th birthday, Karen!
Happy birth -- day, after day, after day Karen! And, I'll take you up on that ice cream cone, or maybe a sip of champagne to toast to your health. By the way, I have found more time to 'learn' in this, my third section of life. I also keep 'following your light' gratefully!
As a lover of stories I appreciate your 3 act structure approach to this adventure called life. It has inspired me to ponder this for myself as I follow right behind you next month into my 59th year.
Happy Birthday, KW!! What a beautiful piece! By your math, this summer I’m at the start of the last year of my first act. Going to be thinking about what I want to solidify from the first act of my life this year ❤️

You're WONDERFULLY on schedule. I'm so glad to hear that you've gone back to school -- I've pondered it myself!
Happiest of birthdays to you!
I love the idea of brandishing kindness.
I am delighting in purposefully not hurrying through any part of this day. To linger is a delight.
I agree. Brandishing kindness is such a worthy goal.
It definitely is. I love this! (And thank you!)
Happy belated birthday and cheers to all the goodness awaiting you in your next act!
Happy Birthday! Thanks for sharing the storytelling structure AND especially for the kindness and compassion goals. I’d like to join you in those.
Please do -- and thanks so much!
