I can relate to your mother because as a nurse for 45 years, I know it is what God wanted me to do and I have learned so much from every nursing experience I have had over the years. Here I am at 85 still taking care of a patient five days a week and enjoying every minute of it because it gives me contact in conversation with other people Instead of staying home watching soap operas, like most people, my age. But I still find the need to fulfill my desire to write burning away at my soul.

Kudos to you, Laura, for caring for so many people and knowing what is most important to your own well-being.

Thank you for sharing!

And if you're looking for someone to help you dive into your writing journey, my friend Jeanette Martin writes a great Substack for women over 50 who want to write.

She also runs live programs as well: https://substack.com/home/post/p-148902104?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
