A modest journal. |
Saturday, February 16, 2013, 7:50am Awoke around 6:15am --- got up at 7. It's a beautiful morning... I love mornings --- the sights, sounds, everything and everyone awakening... the resumation of life and living. I haven't thought of death so much as during the past few years. I miss my Grandma Ree, think about her, dream about her. Miss my Grandma Ruby too, but was always closer to Grandma Ree since she always lived close, we saw her more, etc. My hair appointment is at 10:30 this morning. I went five weeks this time instead of four, and I feel it... starting to look shaggy. I will be saving for a down payment on my own place. There is a place opening in June --- the month I become 55. Here in Florida they have a lot of 55-plus communities ---- cheaper than a lot of places, but you have to be 55 to get in. I am rounding that corner. My Grandma Ruby told me to "grow old gracefully." That's what I am doing. I often think about the circle of life nowadays. I am getting closer to the end-zone and want my final years to be as pleasant and bountiful as possible. Have a great unconditional weekend! |
