    Good job Sonia! Some very nice vocabulary in here and written very fluently.

    This was an interesting read and it made me smile quite a bit! (Especially because I know you very well and it’s very hard for me to imagine the ‘nonna’ side of you!)
    It sounds like you have discovered how to be mindful – live more in the present and enjoy the more simple things in life. I think that’s a pretty nice change that comes with ageing!

    Some quick corrections:

    -10 years ago I was 35 years old and, if I think at about that time, I can see myself like a young lady in her 20ies! 20s

    – My life wasn’t so changed > either use an adjective (e.g My life wasn’t so different) or change tense (My life hadn’t changed so much …)

    – I used to > I was used to +ing

    – … during my 37th summer that I decided to have become old! > needs the past simple: I decided to become old!

    – working very hardly – hard

    – we went living together > we moved in together

    Thanks for sharing! Let me know if you have any questions 🙂
