Today is Sunday, July 2, 2017 and it is the 39th day until my 60th Birthday.
I just realized that I had the wrong date on my Countdown yesterday …. it was July 1st ….. sorry about that.
Well only 39 days if I counted correctly.
You never know where life will take you.
Sometimes planning and dreaming takes you the farthest from where you were.
I was living a relatively comfortable life in Regina.
Some of my family lived/lives there and at that time most of my friends.
My daughter decided to move to Edmonton to go to NAIT (post-secondary school institution) back in 2002.
They (her boyfriend later they married) decided to stay in Edmonton …..
It made sense as the years went by for me to pack up and move.
She is my only child and I could not bear to see her perhaps once or twice a year, if I was lucky.
So in March of 2009 after retiring from a Company that I had worked for thirty years I moved to Edmonton.
It has been a crazy ride but I would not change it for the world.
Never thought I would be here.
Never thought I would be able to buy my own house.
Never thought after I retiring that I would be working full-time again.
Never thought that I would work at West Edmonton Mall.
Never thought I would work for several years in the highest volume of sales retail store, there.
Never thought that in my late 50’s I would have had the highest sales per hour in said retail store.
Never thought that I would once again be in direct sales.
Never thought that I would adopt a dog.
So many changes but all good.
So you see – you never know where life will take you.
Take that chance …… and go.
Always, Carol
