Your garden is gorgeous. Reinvention is crucial for a happy life especially when thrown a curveball. So sorry about the loss of your dad.

What a delightful way to begin this Good Friday morning Prue. Thank you so much for the reminder that reinvention is actually an on going process. I’ve been a fairly strong proponent about the idea that “nothing lasts forever” and it’s important to remain flexible to change. I simply hadn’t equated that to being part of a reinvention so thank you again and happy Easter.

While there have been many reinventions throughout my 84 years of life, the most dramatic reinvention began after my husband's death. Everything changed from my identity to what time I got up in the morning and the process continues as I decide who and what I want to be now.

Another wonderful post, Prue - Happy Easter!

Gosh, you've made me think about my own reinventions, from the accomplished to the intended - as well as the ones of course that are waiting in the wings ready to blindside me. I really enjoy reading what you write about - such a joy. Thank you.

What a lovely post and thanks for linking to me. Reinvention can be a wonderful thing as we change and weave through life. The ballet sounds great! (As a fellow introvert I shuddered in empathy over the TV job.)

I love this, your words speak to me. I too think of all the reinventions so far...and the one I guess I'm currently in as I transition from being a home-educating mum and break back into the world, revealing more and more of myself (which also as an introvert has so far been an interesting ride!). Thank you for sharing your story and being so inspiring. I LOVE the ballet photo!
