So now 50+ years have gone by...how is that possible? I was 20 something yesterday. I had hopes and dreams and lots of time, so I thought. Where did it all go? What happened to possibility? Why does it all seem so difficult at times? What happened to the dreams? So age has opened new doors ,new dreams,and new possibilities.
The notion of having plenty of time is fading. It is my time right now. I am ready to explore!

Celebrate
Why is it that we have to have a special occasion to celebrate? I have decided to make every day a celebration.
Sounds silly but it doesn't cost anything and there are many things to celebrate.Just the fact that I woke up this morning is reason to celebrate! Coffee in hand (heaven) stepping outside and listening to the Cardinals singing in
concert, no ticket needed and free...celebrate! Foliage, a museum in nature..free....celebrate! Celestial viewing from the bedroom window...spectacular and free...celebrate! On my way out the door......going to celebrate all that comes my way.

Grateful
I am grateful!
As I sit down to write I take stock in all of the things that I am grateful for...
I think that sometimes I am too focused on all the things that are "not quite right." and forget
to take a moment to appreciate all that is so very wonderful. I have the freedom and opportunity to
make my life as bountiful and pleasurable as I choose. There are always obstacles to overcome,and hurdles
to jump over, but the ultimate power is in my control. I am in the driver's seat of my my life.
I have become trapped by the things that money can buy and I realize that debt is not happiness.
50+ years have come upon me so quickly. I am taking the time to appreciate the smaller things in life.
Every day is a new beginning, a blank canvas on which to paint, a page on which to write, and a picture waiting to be taken. This is the only time of my life. I am determined to live it. Where to begin?

Moving Ahead
It is the time for moving forward. The luxury of tomorrow is just that. A luxury. What are we waiting for? Every sunrise and every sunset moves us that much closer to the ultimate realization that in order to make our lives our own, we must act now!
I am in transition. I am crawling , frightened to leave the comfort of my known exsistance in order to persue my dream of a simpler more gratifying life. Don't misunderstand me. I have had a wonderful time on the journey to this present time. Many hardships have followed me, many joys have blessed me. I am ready to devote myself to me. Selfish? Perhaps.
