Hi, Joyce, I am 83 and was recently told (a long story) that I had 'great potential'. I ended up writing a post about Being 83 with Potential that was well liked. BUT I don't warm to the idea of 'designing' my next decade. I tend to think that serendipity is the answer. At least for me. It's done very well for me so far.
Thanks Ann … I agree we still have potential and I love “serendipity” as well as the idea that I have the agency to design my future. I’ve also lived long enough to know that God probably laughs at the word “design” just as much as she does the word “plan.” But here we are … out here on the long tail of Substack. Best!

Great story. Engaging image with her sign. Thoughtful asides. Thank you, Joyce.
Thanks, Georgia! Always nice to hear from you.
