: About Me

I am interested in the various stages of life. What the effect is? How changes affect us? Our reactions to changes? Why we have both emotional and physical reactions to changes? How our reaction to changs affect others for example, family, friends and relationships in the commuity and workplace.

I am in my mid 50's. I completed a primary education and second level eduation. Then almost 40 years later after rearing a family - I finally achieved a Business degree with honours on a part time basis.

I am married for over 30 years and have adult children.

Life has been my best teacher.

I hope to embrce learning for as long as I live. That way, I will stay just about knowledgeable enough to keep up with the major changes that will undoubtably happen in the next 40 years - if I live that long - and I hope I do.
