AND JUST LIKE THAT

Uncategorized 2 Minutes

And just like that my birthday is over and I’ve entered a new decade. I fretted about it for months but now that it’s passed I don’t feel quite so disturbed by it. Actually I feel kind of like the same old me. It’s when I think about that number that things unravel, my mind wanders to realm of life expectancy, and then I feel uneasy.

Wrinkles will only go where the smiles have been.

Jimmy Buffet

Guess I’ve smiled a great deal in my life. 😃

We are always the same age inside.

Gertrude Stein

Now that I believe.

How many of you still feel young? I bet all of you. I sure do.

Young at heart.

In my mind I’m still young. In my mind I feel the same, act the same, and look the same. Until I pass a mirror. Or get out of bed in the morning, or from a chair if I’ve been sitting too long. Those are toughies. Yes in my mind I’m still young, just my face and my body don’t realize that.

Hmmm. I really like that one. I don’t have to get old. Yes I like it. Now I just have to keep remembering it.

You can tell I’m trying to be more open and positive to this new decade.

I gave myself three days of birthday delights as I was dreading this birthday so much. Pre Birthday, Birthday, and Post Birthday. So today was my last day.

No gym today. Took it off. Oh my. What a wonderful morning. Nice to have a day like that once in a while. Nothing to do. Oh wait. I did three loads of laundry. Oh and cleaned the bathroom.Then we went for a walk. Does it appear to you that I issues with sitting around relaxing?

Almost a tropical warmth today. Humid and misty. Warm walk.

But I did eventually take it easy.

Relaxed this afternoon on the deck with tea and a book. Ahhhh

I wanted to post this afternoon so can’t describe my evening delights but this evening we’re invited to dinner at Joanne and Jean’s, friends from Michigan who we met down here in 2019. My last bit of birthday delights. It’s always such fun visiting with them.

With retirement comes the opportunity for new experiences. Debi has a passion for music, singing, theatre, and travel. With her BMEd and MEd she had an extensive career which included elementary music education, performing, vocal instruction, choral conducting, musical theatre directing, and clinician work. She has, for the most part, retired from this very successful music career. But really, does one ever retire from music? I think not. So now the stage is set for the next act: interweaving her love for music, travel, and whatever else comes her way. Wherever her travels take her Debi shares her exploits: musical adventures, local interests, historical sites, local cuisine, the journey there and back, plus whatever life sends her. She'll share the hits and the misses, the successes and the failures, as well as any helpful hints she discovers along the way.
