Maybe you could start a voluntary workshop/support group for young Mums in your area. Not just motherhood but life in general.

Sure wish I lived near you I would love to have your left overs! <BR/><BR/>I can't believe anyone would think you were to old to hang out with! You have more get up and go then most young people ever will have.<BR/><BR/>You know you can always get the little kids in the neighborhood to come over. They love to learn things and they don't mind how old you are. <BR/><BR/>My sister does that. She never had kids and now wishes she had grandkids so the neighborhood kids all love to come over and visit her and hang out with her while she cooks or works in the yard. <BR/><BR/>Hugs,<BR/>JoanneJoanne Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15550534887793382985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8975543655113692584.post-72947476952878914682008-08-19T21:02:00.000-06:002008-08-19T21:02:00.000-06:00A good post, Connie, but it made me sad.

I'd take some of your pictures off of your hands...lol! Like I need another picture...I have them stuffed everywhere and change them out from time to time. LOL! Oh girl, Oh you make me laugh with all of your creative energy...you are something special...you know that. I love the little cake you made! After reading what you wrote on your blog, I have to tell you that I just love to hang out with the older ladies. They are so much fun and I always have so much in common with them even though I am 38, which mind you, is no spring chicken. LOL! The boss lady that I used to have when I was doing hair was in here 60's and we really became the best of friends. I still love her, though she moved away to live with her daughter...we still stay in touch by email. I just love hanging out with older ladies. I have a few friends my age, but I seem to always have something more in common with people older than me and they are so full of knowledge and always find something to talk about. Conversation just flows so easy. I have often told my husband that I think I might have been born in the wrong time period....kidding of course...because I know God plants us where he wants us. Well, having told you all of this, I am thrilled to have met you and I thought you were alot younger than you are.... you don't look or act your age at all.... and now that I found out your age, I just love ya all the more.... God Bless you and you keep those creative juices flowing sister....sweet hubby will be back before you know it!
