A WEEK IN MY LIFE PART 1

At the age of 78 I have everything I want in life--well not a car with car insurance paid for a year but--a roof over my head--clothes on my back--food in my stomach-- friends--sweets--Mother Nature--going to movies--reviewing Broadway theatre touring companies--writing reviews --loving thoughts coming my way 24/7--considering how I abused my body with food, booze, smoking and sex I have no complaints about my health even with the problems I do have.

A week of lunch one day at Cafe Vico --a movie on Los Olas--seeing "Chicago" at the Broward Performing Arts Center in Fort Lauderdale or "The Book of Mormon" at the Arsht Center in Miami--a snack at Subway --relaxing, talking to neighbors, getting sun and reading the paper at The Point, driving along the ocean , walking along the riverfront, a homemade ice cream cone at Kilwins, a sandwich and a slice of cheesecake at The Cheesecake Factory, having fun shopping at the Dollar Tree Store and food shopping at Winn-Dixie--helping others when and how I can--sharing laughs and, sometimes, tears but always having company when wanted and/or needed and being alone if choosing to be.

I have had a fascinating up and down life and for the past decade an almost perfect. Now I am looking forward to my 20th Leap Year Birthday party with friends from all over celebrating with me.

In the first picture is a pillow made for me and in the second about 'give me some chocolate' is a sweat shirt I wear in the winter and get a lot of remarks for--it's a good life folks!
