For those who are on gear shift to another phase of life...

This is especially for the over-50 girls -------Get hitched to the Internet...That is the only way, to my mind, that you can stay connected to the world. If you are an empty-nester, your kids are just a mouse click away. If you are downsizing to a slower pace of life, or moving into a comparatively less active stage of being, or are wandering in a state of confusion in a what-next period, then you'll get all your answers on the Net. Nothing like learning something new--so for all the girls who have reached a point in time when they feel like adding a little zing to their dal-roti-home chores routine, get to the nearest computer and learn - learn - learn all you can. Don't let anything - guffaws, or, heavens!, as-if-you-can! comments deter you; especially don't let your own fears, inhibitions and ability-doubts discourage or divert you. You can do it - all you need is to hang in there...and you'll be amply rewarded with enough zing to spread around...
