Ah, the blessings, trials, worries, and joys of life as a mother.  Our member, Linda O’Connell, describes the 70s and her 20s as the best of times, worst of times, filled with worries about her kids, her marriage and herself.

But she managed to find her way through the 70s with support from her friends and beginning a journey of self-discovery.  From her current vantage point, she realizes it was just life being lived.  That there was more time than she thought for smelling the roses along the way.  Of course, that realization is one of the perks of reaching midlife!
