I’m a 50 year old man

I’m a 50 year old man who grew up in a religious home and then strayed for a time, only to return in recent years. I have a Master’s degree in Library Science and was a Librarian for about 10 years. I worked in a few factories as a machine operator and finally got a job with a large company which I kept for ten years until this March, when the economy finally caught up with me. I’m trying to look at this as an opportunity to recreate my life for my remaining 20-30 years. I’m reconnecting with old friends, and changing my lifestyle habits. I refuse to view my remaining years as a cubical dweller or a couch potato.
