many dreams yesterday...many today...

Many dreams...Mostly accomplished at different stages in my life...Now an older person, needing to think of retirement from teaching high schoolers, thinking of moving to a new lifestyle and pursuing new skills... But above all, trying to deal with these new adventures...alone...
