Fortune Cookie Part 2
What a boring, uneventful day yesterday turned out to be. I spent most the day at work playing spider solitaire. Then I stopped at Costco on my home to stock flowers, buy food and get gas. Once home I made a quick dinner of grilled cheese sandwiches and then spent the rest of the evening watching the grand finale of "So You Think You Can Dance" while reading during the commercials. Some point during the evening I said in a conversation with my 12-year old son that I am just an old woman. He replied, "No you're not - not all the way." So it is to my good fortune that I am not all the way old. Just part way.

Well, I know it doesn't help much, but think how fortunate you are that you are well enough to work, rich enough to buy flowers, and blessed enough to have a healthy 12-year-old saying typical 12-year-old stuff. I heard a holocaust survivor speak once and I've never forgotten one line: "[something, something] for the millions of people who know what it's like to take 'a quiet evening at home' for granted."
I think you've got a good life, Marj, and I'm glad I know you.
I do have a good life. Thanks for reminding me. Sometimes I forget.
I like the new look of the blog. And just for the record, what does a 12 year old know about being old anyways.
I know someone that is your age & is all the way old (you might too)... count your blessings that you are only half way there.
