When I'm old, I will not talk to myself...out loud

I promised my daughter that when I'm old I will not talk to myself out loud.  Apparently she finds this behavior appalling and very embarrassing.  My first thought was, sure, I can easily keep that promise.  Huh, then then I realized I do it now.  Holy crap, am I old all ready?  WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN?

Isn't this supposed to be fun?

Who said rediscovery was going to be fun or easy?  I have spent the past several days searching catalogs, looking for self-discovery books, writing in my journal and talking to friends about what's next.  Let's just say there is a lot of happiness to be found in the mundane of your current reality.  Recreating yourself is a tremendous amount of work,  I truly believe a nap may be in order. 

Embrace your Value

To Amy

Yesterday I went to a memorial service for a woman I have never met. I heard so many amazing stories about who she was and what she meant to her Mother, Husband and her numerous friends. Thru their profound sorrow they were able to paint a very clear picture of this very dynamic woman, it was tapestry created for me with love and deep affection.

So to Amy, cheers! you have touched me from heaven and have made a profound difference in my life. So in your honor I will cherish today, tomorrow and the next day and I will love my family and friends with all my heart.

Everything I have Learned is NOT Lost

Everything I have learned can and should be carried forward. Simple. The difficult task lies in the sorting out of what I want to carry forward and what I would really like to leave behind. In addition to all the skills and knowledge I have gathered, I have an amazing group of friends ready and more than willing to support me, for that I will be forever grateful.
