Old Age, I decided, is a gift.

04.19.08 (10:30 am) [edit]

I am now, probably for the first time in my life, the person I have always wanted to be. Oh, not my body! I sometimes despair over my body, the wrinkles, the baggy eyes, and the sagging butt. And often I am taken aback by that old person that lives in my mirror (who looks like my mother!), but I don't agonize over those things for long. I would never trade my amazing friends, my wonderful life, my loving family for less gray hair or a flatter belly. As I've aged, I've become more kind to myself, and less critical of myself. I've become my own friend. I don't chide myself for eating that extra cookie, or for not making my bed, or for buying that silly cement gecko that I didn't need, but looks so avant garde on my patio. I am entitled to a treat, to be messy, to be extravagant. I have seen too many dear friends leave this world too soon; before they understood the great freedom that comes with aging. Whose business is it if I choose to read or play on the computer until 4 AM and sleep until noon? I will dance with myself to those wonderful tunes of the 60&70's, and if I, at the same time, wish to weep over a lost love ... I will. I will walk the beach in a swim suit that is stretched over a bulging body, and will dive into the waves with abandon if I choose to, despite the pitying glances from the jet set. They, too, will get old. I know I am sometimes forgetful. But there again, some of life is just as well forgotten. And I eventually remember the important things.. Sure, over the years my heart has been broken. How can your heart not break when you lose a loved one, or when a child suffers, or even when somebody's beloved pet gets hit by a car? But broken hearts are what give us strength and understanding and compassion. A heart never broken is pristine and sterile and will never know the joy of being imperfect. I am so blessed to have lived long enough to have my hair turning gray, and to have my youthful laughs be forever etched into deep grooves on my face. So many have never laughed, and so many have died before their hair could turn silver. As you get older, it is easier to be positive. You care less about what other people think. I don't question myself anymore. I've even earned the right to be wrong. So, to answer your question, I like being old. It has set me free. I like the person I have become. I am not going to live forever, but while I am still here, I will not waste time lamenting what could have been, or worrying about what will be. And I shall eat dessert every single day. (If I feel like it) MAY OUR FRIENDSHIP NEVER COME APART ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART! MAY YOU ALWAYS HAVE A RAINBOW OF SMILES ON YOUR FACE AND IN YOUR HEART FOREVER AND EVER! FRIENDS FOREVER!

when the goin' gets tough

04.11.08 (4:28 pm) [edit]

when the goin' gets tough, the tough go shopping! at least in theory! i often will walk through the mall that is located conveniently across the street from my office during my lunch hour. sometimes, one of my favorite stores will have some awesome sales...and boy, do i load up...oooohhh, i like this and that and that one, too! by the time i get up to the register, i may have 6 or 8 wonderful sale items....i check out! i take them back to my office and lay them over a chair...and that's where i leave them until the next day...when, during my lunch hour, i walk over to the mall, wonderful sale items in hand, and return them! true story! this fulfills my need to shop, which is something i find very theraputic, but even more theraputic is not having a credit card bill to pay at the end of the month! just thought you would like to know : )

Little Old Lady: There I was, sitting there in my swing on My front porch on a warm spring evening, when a young man comes creeping up on The porch and sat down beside me. Defense Attorney: Did you know him? Little Old Lady: No, but he sure was friendly. Defense Attorney: What happened after he sat down? Little Old Lady: He started to rub my thigh. Defense Attorney: Did you stop him? Little Old Lady: No, I didn't stop him. Defense Attorney: Why not? Little Old Lady: It felt good. Nobody had done that since My Albert died some 30 years ago. Defense Attorney: What happened next? Little Old Lady: He began to rub my breasts. Defense Attorney: Did you stop him then? Little Old Lady: No, I did not stop him. Defense Attorney: Why not? Little Old Lady: His rubbing made me feel all alive and Excited. I haven't felt that good in years! Defense Attorney: What happened next?

You are riding on a beautiful white horse. On your left side is a drop off. On your right side are several ostriches being chased by a lion. In front of you are four large gazelles that won't get out of your way and you can't seem to overtake them. Behind you is a stampede of horses. What must you do to get out of this highly dangerous situation? For the answer scroll down* * Get your drunk ass off the merry-go-round.

Tree for Sale

04.01.08 (10:25 pm) [edit]

Today, while driving home, I passed a sign that said "beautiful, yellow tree for sale...house for free with purchase of tree"! I laughed right out loud. The tree is a gorgeous, yellow flowered thing...I don't know what kind, but I just loved the "sales pitch"! How very creative! LOL! BTW, today is April's Birthday....I spent the majority of my day celebrating the fact that we still have her and that she is progressing so well! Thank you, God, for letting us keep her here with us! Amen! xoxo
