    Thumbs up It's Never Too Late To Start Over

    Three years ago my employer of 23 years "made me an offer I COULD refuse". I managed to keep working in my field generally doing work that I enjoyed. I recently was made an offer that was too good to be true. So at 54 I have been given an opportunity to make a difference. I will be working as a Safety Specialist for an online retailer named after a South American river. I am currently in Washington state for some intro training and then it's off to Phoenix for two weeks. I begin my new assignment on Oct. 15 in Vancouver.

    I felt especially delighted that at my age someone saw something in me that was worth investing in. I just felt that this news was worth sharing with you, my online friends. And so, the adventure begins!

    Yes, I can relate to that. I'm only a few months away from retirement, but I will need some part time employment when I retire--mostly to finance my various volunteer jobs. It's good to know that somebody out there sees value in those of us who have passed the half-century mark!

    Best wishes--perhaps we will cross paths at some point.
    EPITAPH: Decades from now, no one will know what my bank balance looked like, it won't matter to anyone what kind of car I drove, nor will anyone care what sort of house I lived in. But the world will be a different place, because I did something so mind bafflingly eccentric that my ruins have become a tourist attraction.
