It dawned on me a few days ago that I was repeatdely saying "I wanted my life back" or "recapturing my life" or resparking my life". Then it clicked "Is this what I really wanted"? The answer is no. I had wonderful wonderful moments before and some that were "oogley-ugly". I came to realize that as that old adage "be careful what you asked for as you might just get it"!

Well I did and I don't want it.

A friend who is a retired newspaper man who now is a world traveler, blogging and loving it sdaid to me: " The past is a great textbook, but a lousy address. You just can't live there".

So now, I'll vamp it, upscale it in my not so secret vieux.

Here I Glow!
