Forty Years Later

My name is Anya and I live in the mountains of Colorado, with my 10 year old grand daughter Katy, and a fish named Duke. After 40 years of marriage I find myself suddenly divorced; and for the first time in my life I'm on my own making all the decisions myself, and raising a child again many years after doing it the first time. Almost everything has changed for me...and everything that still hasn't will eventually. But I'm thinking this is a rare gift for me to be able to build a whole new life for myself. I know it won't be smooth sailing all the way; but I'm looking forward to the ride!

I hope to meet new friends here as I go along; and I'd be delighted to hear your stories too. I love comments that grow into conversation, so talk to me or talk to my commenting friends. I'll always reply, so be sure to check back.
