Romance and Helen Trent

Romance after you are a senior: what is it? Do any of you remember Helen Trent, the Soap Opera, that began with the question, “Can she find love and happiness after 35?” Well I listened to that when I was very young because my mother had it on the radio. I always thought, WHY ask, and the thought of anyone that old and romance just spoiled the whole story.
Well, I am twice that age and want to tell you that romance can begin at 70, and be an experience that equals anything of previous years. I do mean the real deal and the whole deal, but with more appreciation and more time to just be totally in the moment. I have taken so many steps, I do not have to focus on the next one. I have lost so many times that I don’t have to vest myself in predictions. Romance at this age can be the real deal and the whole deal and just plain fun, but there is also a deep respect and nothing is taken for granted. It is all a special gift.
I think this may enlighten some and give faith and courage to others, as others did for me before I ventured out again into the deep and dangerous waters of dating again.
