Silver Bloggers| A look at the past, enjoying the present, with many dreams for the future.

    Life goes round and round and without realising it, the years go by and we are left with a lot of dreams on the table without being able to fulfil them. A few months ago I turned 47 and I feel that many things have changed, not only in my face or my body but also in my habits and customs that now come with the aches and pains of age.

    When I was 15 I was in a hurry to be 18 so I could do a lot of things, then I turned 18 and with that I had to take on my own responsibilities. I remember that one afternoon I asked my father for money to go out the next day to look for a job with my friend Teresa, he gave me 2000 Bolivares, at that time it was a lot of money and I knew in my heart that I had to pay him back.

    That day we walked around all day, asking here and there but we couldn't find anything, tired and starving we went to an aunt who recommended us to work in a family home. I was a bit resistant to the idea, but luckily we made some phone calls and I got a job in a metal furniture factory.

    Nobody said life was easy, after that I had to roll over a lot, but that was my first step to independence and maturity.

    At 20 I became a police officer, it was a dream that thank God I was able to fulfil and I have to thank many people who helped me get there. Being a police officer is a very beautiful profession if you carry it in your heart and do it with integrity. In that worthy institution I spent the best 17 years of my life and I had to leave because the situation was unsustainable with a government that completely disappeared my home and the home of more than 4000 good men and women.

    In September 2012 I took my retirement and I confess that I had no regrets about leaving and today I can confirm that it was the best decision I could have made in my life. Although they always say that we should not lump everyone together, it is unfortunate to say that today we have a corrupt and out of control police force.

    I go back and look at the road I have travelled and I like what I have done and what I am doing, it is true that there was a three-year slump where the situation in my country was unsustainable but we ourselves are turning our economy around, because if we wait for those who are in power we will never get ahead.

    In my life I had many projects, travelling and getting to know every corner of Venezuela was one of them, I wanted to explore every beautiful place in my country; luckily I was able to see almost half of it and if God allows me to do so soon I want to resume those plans.

    They say that when you want things with strength, desire and a lot of love, they can come true. So now that I am retired and my situation is improving, I not only want to see Venezuela but also part of Europe.

    When I was working in the police I always thought about leaving the institution as a young man and for one reason or another that became a reality, thanks to that I was able to set up my sewing workshop where I make beautiful things for babies. There is still a lot to do, there are still many dreams to fulfil, I still feel young and together with my husband and my children I want to continue to enjoy life.

    The last years of my life I would like to live in a house on the beach or go back to live in the countryside where I was born, whatever destiny has in store for me I can only say thank you! thank you to life, to God, to my friends, to my family, thank you for everything!

Life is full of ups and downs. Time really flies and before we know it, we are already in our 40s or 50s. I am retired recently and I also hope to do more traveling.

Retired life is very nice because you can now make your own plans, have your own business or just enjoy life by travelling.

That's right, nobody said life was going to be easy, but with perseverance and patience we can achieve many successes.
