Tjustske Kemphius the last image I have here, I think.
Well, It was sunny when we went out and now it's cloudy. We did the Library and the Shopping. I didn't get ice cream sandwiches because none were lactose free. I also didn't get any new yogurt as I have three in the fridge- which I didn't eat last week. I did eat 3 of the four pears. And two of the three oranges.
I didn't buy bread--I selected Cinnamon Raisin Bagels....I have a block of cream cheese...next to the pound of butter. I will be content with that....the hot dogs were a delight but not the best choice for a meal.
I counted 24 white cars in the passing lanes as we drove home. In 10 or 15 minutes.
Son and I stopped to talk to a former Library co-worker... Carol was born on Groundhog Day...she said she was 101. I remember when she was in her 80's. I selected nine books at the library- three of those on the hold shelf.....then I sat down and had a cup of Free Friday Coffee and watched the tiny children pushing their tiny shopping carts around the Lobby. Having escaped the Children's Section. Gosh they were adorable.
Life is slowing down...long periods of nothing and then a bit of something..... like those speeding tiny tots. I have to find new things to fill the "spaces"...........I have to transition back to "normal". I wasn't normal for years and years. so...it's difficult figuring things out... knowing what normal looks like at 77.
Any suggestions?

I’m hoping that your normal will be your own, a step up from most what 78 year olds might think of as normal. Setting goals, eating nutritious and pretty foods, wearing a touch of makeup most days, getting new athletic shoes, and yes, sitting in the library watching children.
