Scenes From A Life

My living room, looking out into the hall.  At the very back of the photo is a watercolor painting I purchased.  I met the artist and mentioned that I had one of her paintings.  She asked which one. I described it; fruit and flowers in a paper "wrap".  Oh, she said.  Not my favorite.  The cupboard to the left is Danish but purchased in Frankfurt.  The dollhouse at the rear right was bought as a kit and constructed one Christmas while G was home with us.  The little string of lights arranged to glow in each window is still going after all these years.

I think my Blogoversary is sometime soon.  Six years.  My birthday is Sunday.  Sixty Five years.  My anniversary was yesterday.  Forty Three years.  So many important dates and numbers.  I find myself reflecting and remembering this week.  I think the sorting thru the debris of my life for the Yard Sale got me into this frame of mind.  As did the filing for my Medicare Card.  Who thought I would get this old so soon?  I was noticing my neck today.  Not a good thing.

You, my readers, see my life as it is being lived.  Some days are humorous.  Some sad.  Some are interesting. Others are boring.  A life.  Shared.  Thank you for reading.  It keeps me going.  I should send "thank you comments" to the bloggers who make my days happier because they have posted, on their blogs. I know, from experience, that it is difficult to sit here at the keyboard and come up with something each day.  Thank goodness for the delete function.  And the new spell check (even though it jumps ahead and spells words I had no intention of using).

There are times when I want to write something, just to connect with someone out there in the world.  Just to let the Universe know I am still here.  Tonight is one of those times.

Happy Birthday, Sunday!

I was just reading something about how one's blog should never be too personal and NEVER write anything negative. What a boring blog that would be. I love that you are so real and so open and it certainly doesn't hurt that you write so well. Happy blogiversary and happy getting old along with me. We will make medicare cool, I think.

I'm celebrating YOU and all these wonderful -iversaries! I remember so clearly when we were at the guild meeting listening to Velda Newman (right?) and I was telling you about blogging. Can that be six years ago? I am very thankful for all we have shared since then.

Happy Birthday, happy anniversary and thumbs down to boring blogs...your posts are what getting a letter in the mail used to be like, thoughts to ponder with my morning coffee!

I'm glad that you post what you need to write. Life is messy. I'm also glad that you reach out. I don't always respond because sometimes my personal response is just a head nod in agreement. Very hard to comment a head nod! LOL. One reason that I like facebook. It has a like button for when all I can do is acknowledge a person has said something.

I have noticed the change in tone of your posts from somber to more cheerful and creative lately. I hope it is because you ARE more cheerful and creative, not just because you feel the need to "hide" what you are really feeling.
Peace and Happies for all the versaries.
