As soon as those words were spoken I felt 'that tingle'. Starting at the back of my right knee, migrating up the back of my thigh, traveling its way around my hip, my ribs, my shoulder and then curling around the back of my right ear - almost like a snake's tail - wrapping around my head. People talk about getting goosebumps or spine tingles, my favorite description is hiney tingles. To me it signals truth, love, a message from the universe sent directly to my soul. It can happen when I hear a song or witness a human kindness and being an unfinished woman myself, I'm learning to listen to the signal and find the right response in my life.
The older I get, the more this amazing sensation happens. Maybe I'm listening to the universe closer or after 50 years of life I'm getting smarter. Unfinished is a promise and an exciting prospect. Lessons to learn, love to give and receive and best of all, adventures to create. I feel like I've finally made peace with the mistakes of my youth, making room for what life after 50 has to deliver.
Bring it on...I'm brave enough, armed with skills and joie de vivre!

"Unfinished" -- wow, I really like that term. It means there is still hope. It means that we are a work in progress, and can continue to be "unfinished" until our last breath. Thanks for sharing the inspiration. =]
Great post, Rose. As I get nearer to 70 than 50 I continue to struggle with three questions: "Is this all there is? Who am I now that my traditional roles are finished? What am I meant to do with the rest of my life? These question keep me very busy. I do believe I will remain unfinished the rest of my life!
Hi Marjorie!
Thank you for your comment...as always you help me to continue to ponder life's meaning. Maybe I get that from you through our wonderful shared DNA. Are we ever done with our traditional roles or do they just evolve into something different or weird even? I think we just continue to be the reinventors and the best part is that we get get to make (most of) the rules. :)
