I'm doing some work and thinking on meaning and purpose in later life; the third phase.
What feelings does the phrase 'coming home to myself' conjure up for you?
I would love to hear from anyone else who is thinking about this important and neglected stage of our lives.
...and here is a link to podcast on the topic, in which I was privileged to be a participant.

@matty7w Coming home to myself makes me think of self acceptance. I was a shy and lacked confidence for a long time in my life. But I realized I had always been a good person and that I should have believed in myself and in my dreams. I have regrets but most of them center on wishing I had saved/invested more money. Coming home to myself means that I stand firmly anchored to who I am and , even later in life now, who I can become.

@allin that is really beautiful. Thanks so much. Yes. Having a sound financial platform and knowing how much you will need feel to be very important. I wonder if you were giving advice to your younger self, what would you say?

So do you like the phrase as a way of describing what has been going on for you?

@matty7w I didn’t think about it until I saw your post. And it’s funny because this morning I heard John Denver’s Rocky Mountain High. And “coming home to a place he’s never been before”. That was a a song that always pulled on my heart when I was young. However, even without that prompt I still think your word would have caught me.We are doing ok financially. We never cared about being wealthy but money does give a sense of security and then your brain is free to think about yourself. 1

@allin I'm going to listen to that.ni haven't heard it for years and I love that line. Agree 100% on the finances.

@allin thank you so much for your response. I really appreciate your thoughtfulness.
