One Quiet Moment
I'M HAVING MAJOR COMPUTER PROBLEMS. KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED FOR ME!!
Welcome, winter. Your late dawns and chilled breath make me lazy, but I love you nonetheless. ~Terri Guillemets
How To Stay Young!!
1. Try everything twice.
On one woman's tombstone she said she wanted this epitaph: "Tried everything twice. Loved it both times!"
2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.
(Oh, and keep this in mind just in case you are one of those grouches!)
3. Keep learning: Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever ... Never let the brain get idle. "An idle mind is the devil's workshop". And the devil's name is Alzheimer!!
4. Enjoy the simple things.
5. Laugh often, long and loud! Laugh until you gasp for breath. And if you have a friend who makes you laugh, spend lots and lots of time with HIM/HER!!
6. The tears happen: Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life is ourselves. LIVE while you are alive!
7. Surround yourself with what you love: whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever ... Your home is your refuge.
8. Cherish your health:
If it is good, preserve it.
If it is unstable, improve it.
If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.
9. Don't take guilt trips...
Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county, to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is.
10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity. And I do love you all -- my very special friends!!
11. Forgive now those who made you cry. You might not get a second chance.
Remember! Lost time can never be found.
And be kinder than necessary for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
Oh, and one more thing ...
Wine does not make you FAT .. it makes you LEAN ... (against tables, chairs, floors, walls and ugly people!!!)Nothing wrong with that, I like to "lean" now and then!!

What Can I Say?
I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.
