What I Do With My Free Time Living Alone After 60

What do you do with your free time when you live alone, and most of your time is already claimed by work, bills, chores, pets and everything else that keeps life running? I make things. Some are practical. Some are ridiculous. And one of them is Fantastic Fabiola, a woman with a beehive hairdo who first appeared as a little drawing on an envelope more than 40 years ago. Fab became the part of me that still wanted color, movement, art and imagination when life became almost entirely about survival. Now I am finally making room for her, and for the creative part of myself that waited a very long time. This video is about living alone, making room for creativity after 60, and remembering that free time is not merely whatever is left after the responsible things are finished. Sometimes one completely impractical thing is part of how we make life work. If you have your own version of Fab, something creative, strange or joyful that you tucked away years ago, I would love to hear about it in the comments. Mary Makes It Work Modest, joyful living. Practical help, honest talk and occasional domestic foolishness. #LivingAlone #LifeAfter60 #CreativityAfter60 #StartingOver #MaryMakesItWork
